Arrow Short Shifter + SPT vortex + Black Vinyl

Just keeping you guys updated installed my kartboy short shifter, Spt Vortex generator and black window vinyl.

The short shifter reduces throw by 40% and its an inch lower then standard. Being such a minor mod it makes such a difference when you shift it made me so happy after my test drive. Would recommend to anyone that doesn't have it the way it makes shifting feel so effortless is so amazing.


Just order 2 more tires they should be fitted early April so stay tuned for the rims..

Happy Days

Look forward to seeing the rims on as well. Good choice. What exactly am I looking at in regards to the window vinyl? Replacement garnishes for the middle pillars?

Nice choice of rims as has been said. Nice wheels with good offset do a lot to help the look of the bettys.

Short shifter and new shifter bushings was a nice change for me too. More of an enjoyment mod than a performance one, but does feel much nicer.

Just a vinyl for bottom where the chrome trim is trolley you can see in this pic after install and the rest of it
with out.

I personally dont know what the fuck subaru was thinking in 2009-2013 with that chrome piece.

JRecardo the little things sometimes make it worth wild I had a big grim all day from it.
