A friend in Japan recently told me about a post on Minkara (minkara.carview.co.jp), a popular Japanese car enthusiast community. Someone shared photos of their Subaru XV / Crosstrek fitted with our KAKUMEI Motorsports front lip spoiler, along with some great feedback!
Since our founding in 2000, KAKUMEI Motorsports has spent 26 years dedicated primarily to developing Subaru performance and styling parts. Back in 2018, when Subaru Taiwan launched the new XV crossover series, STI in Japan hadn’t released any aero kits for it yet. A local Taiwanese XV owner reached out to us, hoping we could design custom parts for the vehicle. The first item we developed was the front lip spoiler, followed by our rear upper add-on spoiler and mid-spoiler.
Back in 2018, the Crosstrek / XV was considered a niche model in the Subaru lineup, and very few aftermarket brands were willing to develop parts for it. Driven by our passion for cars and a commitment to meeting customer demand, the KAKUMEI team took on the challenge. To our delight, these products became hugely popular in both the US and Japan—with the front lip spoiler turning into a massive bestseller in Japan!
Thank you to all XV owners for your passionate support. We will keep pushing forward and delivering great products!
