    Now that we had our battery tie-down finalized, we could focus on the next component we wanted to tackle in the engine bay. Our next target would be the radiator stays, the small stamped steel pieces holding the radiator to the radiator support. We offer anodized aluminum radiator stays for a variety of vehicles including the previous generation WRX/STI, Honda Civic, and Ford Mustang.

    For this particular project, we would be following a similar route. Our stays would be produced in aluminum and then anodized in a variety of colors to match an engine bay accent color. Before we get into the Mishimoto design, take a look at the stock components.

    Mishimoto is not only interested in improving the performance, reliability, and power output of your new Subaru, but we also care about aesthetics. Small touches in the engine bay can make a big impact on the overall appearance and also provide a sense of personalization. Our first targeted component is the battery tie-down. The stock tie-down is rather bland, its main purpose being functionality, which is fine for a stock unit. For those looking to upgrade, a stylish aluminum replacement is ideal. In case you haven't yet peered into the engine bay of your "15, here is what the stock tie-down looks like.

    Our first task was to design a few prototypes and see what design we thought was most appealing. This is much easier said than done. Check out a few renderings of the design ideas from our team.
