Newest acquisition for the crosstrek

Very nice. We obviously have similar taste. I like the red accents. I think you should try to put more. How do you like the window deflectors? I've gone back and forth on those a million times. I'm not sure I like how they look, but I've only seen them in pictures.

 

[Kyle273]

I love it. After noticing quite a few rock chips, I decided I needed something to help out.

 

[Kyle273]

After running into a few issues, I got the borla exhaust installed
First, the bolts holding the exhaust on we're so rusted I couldn't get a good grip with the socket to remove them
Then, my hitch was in the way of the exhaust! A shop had to cut a chunk of my hitch off to make it fit.
But after all that, and a bill I wasn't expecting from the shop, she sounds sweet!

 

[Kyle273]

She cleans up well

 

[Subeeru]

I'm amazed at the amount of rust one that ~1 year old exhaust. Nice build, btw.

 

[Kyle273]

Thanks!
I use it to launch my jet ski in salt water, and the NJ saltwater is VERY corrosive.

viper remote start work well ?

 

[Kyle273]

I love it. I havent experienced the range they market it for, but it works great for cold mornings, or if i'm at work and want a warm/cool car for my ride home

When you get close to car does the car turn off, or you can open door and just push the button and go ?

thanks

 

[Kyle273]

It only turns off when I go in the car, and step on the brake.
I don't have a push to start, I have a key. So if I get in the car, and don't put my foot on the brake, I can put the key in the ignition and "start" the car and I can take off and drive

Ah icic, I wonder how the push start will work, anyways, I just got my car today, super excited

 

[Kyle273]

Congrats on the car!

I'm not to sure if push to start would make a difference. I needed to get a double ignition bypass for them to get it to work.
I'm sure if you find a reputable shop, they'll know exactly what to do

Hey Man!
It's j.l.howell on Instagram.
Glad to find your build. Pretty impressive list thus far.

 

[Kyle273]

Hey! Good to see you on the forums!
Thanks, got a few more goodies in mind, and possibly a change or 2!

 

[KyleCam]

I'm pretty sure I have said it before Kyle, but I love what you've done to your XV to date. That's one good-sized list of mods you've added so far and it all comes together like magic. Also mate, don't be surprised if you receive a few additional questions from me over the next few months haha

Basically what you have done to your fine looking vehicle is what I was picturing in my head the kind of additions I wanted to add.

 

[Kyle273]

Thanks!
I'm always around to answer questions! I always love seeing other peoples cars come together!

 

[Kyle273]

Been a while since I've done anything to my crosstrek, so here's what I put on today

Rally innovations light bar.
Ran out of daylight but 2 hella500's with a yellow tint are going down low. Either 2 small led pods or a small light bar going up high.

 

[Kyle273]

Just places an order for another goodie for the crosstrek... Anderson design-fabrication 2" strut lift with 1/2" rear sag.
