Looks kinda ricey in the pic, but much better in real life. Next, the centre console and air vents, if I can figure out how to pull them out without breaking anything.

Looks awesome!

Where did you buy the vinyl from?

That's brilliant. What did you use to open the holes up? Dremel?? Was it quite messy to get the duct and things fitted?

Today I accepted an offer on my car.... will be sad to see her go..... but on the other hand, HELLLOOOOOOOO MY03+ STI/EVO IX :D

Well there was a bit of improvisation :P I used a standard drill with a wider drill bit to put 4 or 5 small holes into each honeycomb shape, then got the dremel in there to clean it up into 1 honeycomb shape (if that makes sense). Then used a bit of sandpaper to clean it up, took a little while but still better than paying $200+ for the proper ones.

With fitting the duct, I used araldite and left it overnight, then some black 3M tape to bind the two together and seal up any air gaps between the two pieces. There wasn't too much mucking about and they all fitted back in to the bumper pretty well. Also, surprisingly didn't have a whole of trouble getting the old lower grills out either.

It's worth it in the end if you're considering it, as I know it's something I've put off doing for well over a year.

Very nice looking wheels!

yes couple options I'm looking at

Kmac camber kits
#141516 K -2/3
$465- Pair
(expensive but you can adjust the front camber without jackup the car or removing the wheels)

H&R TripleC
Which are adjustment bolts that replace the upper fastening bolts on your struts
cheap $50-$80 i think
-3 to +3 adjusment range


can I ask why you need the adjustment?

Cheers ALex
Why do i need them, well you think it is not wide enough lol, fronts rub with 205's on, and i need to run 3mm spacers for my porsche brakes, so was thinking a bit of negative camber might help with the rubbing

Do Kmac make a copy of the H&R bolts
