ing shade of blue, which matches the graphics on the
exterior perfectly.
harman Motive also used aeM’s aIt and MaP
sensors and two water injection kits, one for the engine,
and one just for the intercooler! DC sports supplied
a custom 3-inch b-pipe exhaust to move the
spent air and fuel with as little restriction as possible
back to the sPt cat-back exhaust. We think it has a
delightfully angry exhaust note. Other sPt parts include
a 1.3 baR radiator cap, a cool aluminum battery
tie down, oil cap, and a sport mesh grille at the
nose. harman’s air/oil separator, hose connectors
from hose techniques, and a carbon fiber accessory
belt cover from Carbign Craft complete the welldressed
engine bay.
although the WRX came with a pre-production
interior rendered in smooth charcoal plastic, aeM
didn’t let that stop them. They ordered up some
custom carbon fiber inserts for the dash and doors
from Ridesync and installed a suede leather sparco
383 steering wheel. Inside the roll cage, they installed
two carbon fiber s-light Circuit Pro rally seats, and
one Pro 2000 in the middle in the rear. aeM digital
display gauges fill a carbon fiber panel where the
radio would be. an sPt boost gauge is prominently
mounted to the right side of the instrument pod on
the dash. This interior is beautiful in a spartan, functional
way. no leather seats. no suede headliners. no
booming stereo. With 6-point sparco harnesses, it’s
track- or rally-ready.
From there, the attention turned to creating
something truly eye-grabbing for the exterior.
Mobworks laid on a coat of striking flat orange
paint. aPR carbon fiber canards were attached to
both sides of the front bumper with a carbon fiber
front splitter added to the bottom for good measure.
