Fits JDM models
Bolted up perfect to a 1999 JDM Version 6 STI. Simple 4 bolt install using the main panel only. Small front panel not used due to it not aligning but on my model it wasn't needed. Plenty of room for a larger oil pan setup and it easily clears my fujimoto drain valve with nipple. Oil filter door aligns perfectly as well. Only thing I dont like is the finish, its gloss and I think it should be black textured or powdercoated. Overall definitely nice and way better quality than Japanese models. Super nice and will buy another for my usdm car.
