Default Re: S'poreSTI Redux - Gauges finally in
Well, after a long wait, i finally got the time to go back to the dealer, and get the install finished. Since there was no way to plug the harness, it was time for some splicing, the first 08 they ever did this to...

Once its all done i'm pretty happy with them, looks very stock, and having the 2 gauges on the instrument cowl is looking a lot better than i dared hope.
Apologies for the cellphone pics, its all i have right now. will try to get better pics in the next few weeks
Work in progress...

Are you having any issues with your V-Limited Lip scraping the ground? I had a few issues with my 2007 STI, and am wondering if the lip on the '08 isnt as low as the previous generation.....

Speaking of which...from whom and for how much did you get the V-Lip?

Have scraped the rubber protector a few times on steepish ramps, but i try to be careful to cross things at an angle. Dunno how it will fare if/when i get the JDM pink springs, i'll lose another 15mm
Edit, found the measurements from earlier posts:
With my front lip the spacing to ground is just 15cm on stock springs (without lip is 19cm), measured at the front corners. Not sure if that is higher/lower than the prior years?
