This is a great section for those of you who want to add subtle exterior modifications or enhancements that are affordable, and simple to install. Here, you will find a great section that includes a large variety of components that will customize the overall aesthetic of your exterior so that you can personalize to your liking to reflect your personality or your style.
Additionally, this is a great place for those of you who are browsing for the holidays, a birthday, or a celebration for the car enthusiast in your life. The Exterior Dress-Up Section includes components that aren't what some may consider extreme such as a hood, fender, or a large rear wing. These components can be installed by most enthusiasts, and all of them are quality products that are brought to you by the most familiar brands that add form, function, and value, with an improved overall driver experience.
Because when investing in your car, you are investing in your happiness, even if that means being patient and waiting for the right time to buy the part that you want. All of the components in the Exterior Dress-Up section are suitable for daily drivers and weekend show cars, but can also be utilized on purpose-built race cars, rally cars, as well as overlanders. Let's have a look at some of the exterior accessories that may pique your interest.
AFTERMARKET GRILLS: These offer both form and function. Some of the factory front grill designs are thick and bulky, and although they blend in well with the rest of the factory components on the exterior, the aftermarket has found ways to improve, especially in the airflow department. For example, we carry a few examples from Chargespeed that replaces the factory front grill with a mesh design. The mesh design offers a stealthy race-inspired look, however, they also offer better airflow into the radiator while providing protection against bugs, larger rocks, and other impediments on the road. You can find a good selection of carbon fiber examples brought to you by Seibon as carbon fiber looks beautiful alone, and blends in well with all colored finishes. And we do carry exclusive Subaru JDM grills, and final edition front grilles found on exclusive models for those of you who want a rare product. Many options to choose from outside of Subaru models such as the Nissan GT-R, and a variety of Honda Civic models, among others.
AFTERMARKET MIRRORS: These actually make for an excellent upgrade, and there are several options and variants available for you to not only customize your mirrors but more importantly, improve the driver visibility on the road or on the track for better safety. You can choose from replacement convex rear-view mirrors. These are also available in a few different mirror finishes as they will reduce glare at night, but the convex profile provides a wider view for better coverage when in reverse or when you need to make lane changes. Would you like to customize your current side-view mirrors? We carry replacement mirror covers ranging from OEM-like replacements that come paint-matched, you can choose from carbon fiber options, and OLM even offers mirror cover options that have cherry blossoms in the design or built-in sequential turn-signal lighting. Have a racecar or want that race-inspired look, APR has carbon fiber replacements designed to save weight while providing reduced drag while blasting through the corners.
EXTERIOR GARNISHES: This is such a mass space to cover due to the wide variety of options and enhancements you can do to further customize the exterior of your vehicle. All of the things, including but not limited to carbon fiber license plate surrounds, carbon fiber rear exhaust finishers, bumper vent inserts, all of the overlays, all possible trim covers in all of the colors, and all of the carbon fiber. Carbon fiber fender inserts, duct covers, emblem surrounds, mirror covers, door handle covers and every little part in between that can be upgraded, all of the quality components are brought to you by the most familiar brands in the aftermarket that are available to further dress your vehicle to provide a unique look while adding more value and style.
HORNS: Especially popular with the Subaru crowd because of the distinct look when hidden behind a custom aftermarket grille (see above). Aftermarket horns provide that rally-inspired look and were utilized in rally racing to warn gathering crowds ahead and to serve their purpose by alarming you when nearby. We carry a great selection of horns and horn kits brought to you by the likes of Hella, PIAA, and horn mounts and accessories to mount them to your Subaru, or other universal applications. These horns will generally be louder than your OEM horns and are available in a variety of different colors to provide the exterior with a little more customization.
TOW HOOKS: These are very popular in car culture with weekend show cars, daily drivers, and purpose-built race cars. Because of these reasons, we carry a great selection of tow hooks and we have examples that are for show purposes only and can only handle light towing only, and we have tow hooks that actually serve a purpose. Tow hooks are required on race cars and rally cars in case you get stuck in the sand traps on your local road course, if you get stuck in the gravel, or if you simply break down and need a proper reference point to get safely on the flatbed. We have tow hooks in a great variety of designs as well as powder-coated finishes to suit the overall theme of your vehicle. Also, brought to you by the greatest brands in the industry that include but are not limited to the likes of Beatrush, PERRIN, Cusco, and Torque Solution.
ORNAMENTS AND EMBLEMS: This is a very simple way to enhance the exterior of your vehicle with exclusive or unique looks. We carry JDM ornaments and emblems, we have a great assortment of ornaments and emblems in a variety of different colors. We have options available in carbon fiber, ornaments, and emblems for the front and rear bumpers, and fenders, and there are universal options that you can put virtually anywhere. All of the options are easy to apply, and will generally include automotive-grade double-sided adhesive for a peel-and-stick application.
RAIN GUARDS: These are a great exterior upgrade. These provide the exterior with a slightly wider profile while serving a purpose by allowing you to slightly open your windows during a rain storm. This will allow fresh air into the cabin of your vehicle while reducing fog buildup. The majority of the rain guards that we carry will come in a dark transparent finish and will look excellent while being fairly simple to install.
With any of these options, you cannot go wrong as there are enough components to drastically customize the exterior of your vehicle. From many quality aftermarket options to exclusive JDM components, there is an option that will improve the overall aesthetic of your exterior. The majority of these components when compared to your average upgrade are fairly affordable and adding more fun and excitement to your vehicle makes your daily commute or next weekend track event much more enjoyable.
