You can get aftermarket TPMS sensors that are cloned to the OEM ones, so basically the vehicle will never know you swapped wheels each season.

Nice build! I had a 2011 STI before my 3is too!
1) Did what did you use to wrap your grille? Gloss Black Wrap?
2) Did you paint your calipers before applying the decal? How have they held up?
Thanks!

Thanks. I sometimes miss that car. Mainly for the power. 😬 The grill is wrapped in gloss black and so are the window moldings. No I didn't paint the calipers. I like the stock color. And so far they have been holding up great.

The stock calipers are not black...they are an aluminum type looking finish. Likely the previous owner painted them.

Then hang onto that camera cause you'll never need to paint another caliper black again by the way it takes pics.

lol thay are a little darker than than everyone else's cars I've seen. But I can tell you they've never been painted. The previous owner was a middle age women and was a leased car. I'm not complaining. I love the color that they are.

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Have been really busy with work. And recently just got married. That's where all my time has been. But nothing new to the lex. I'm thinking of getting a custom mid pipe since my car is awd and going carbon fiber lip, side skirt extensions, and rear diffuser.
