Hella Flush… the style that has taken the entire industry by storm has no doubt landed in the Northwest, and one of the most noticeable cars running around our area is no other than Tony Dau’s Subaru WRX STi.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock at most the events the past year, then you know this car looks familiar. His trademark  is sticking a flyer in the gap of his fender to show how flush his car really is…

While he might not have as many mods as the other Subaru’s we have featured here, sometimes you have to sit back and appreciate dedication. Dedication to the proper “flush” setup is what his main goal was, and it’s pretty obvious he’s not joking around. Stance aL+Pro Coilovers with an 8k spring rate tucking smooth white 18×10 +18  Work Emotion XD’s with stretched 225/40/18 Dunlop’s is what makes the boys heads turn. His fenders are rolled and stretched so far that anymore and he might as well go widebody!

The car is very clean, inside and out. Keeping unnecessary parts and accessories off the car and focused on a real smooth, clean look.  V-Limited Side Skirts, JDM Aero Guards, cleaner 04-05 tails, Wingless trunk are just among that many options he did decide to do. Last we talked to Tony, he has more plans for this car, he’s redoing it, bigger and bolder… he’s hinted at it, and we’re stoked.
