Where's the place to get stickers..?

Probably going for either the Prodrive name logo or the Subaru swoosh..!

I sourced some 'clip nuts' http://www.jetpress.com/products/3999/030/

made job a lot easier, didn't need to remove inner arch, very effective..! Free sample.

OK mine are on, will post some pics when I get chance. No problems with the fitting everything went where it should. Didn't have too much trouble with the nuts behind the trim on the front, used a small block of wood to hold the trim away making it easier to get behind. They sure do feel strong

I used the highest setting for mine, Paul, looks like you've used the lowest certainly on the front.

Only problem I had was with the stickers which wouldn't stick can somebody recommend a sticker supplier which will definitely stick to this material.

Cheers
Allan

Have you had an answer to this yet ??

I was also thinking of the prodrive logo, so if you manage to find some can you let me know where you can get them from.

No, I'm thinking of contacting a custom grafix company, there's enough of them on e-bay.

Got mine done !! Finished them Friday afternoon, which was a good job as they were needed at japfest on Saturday

Look well smart, I even sprayed the brackets up black too
Will post some pictures up when I get home later

As for fitting, no major problems, apart from fighting with the front inner wing,
getting hand stuck and kept dropping the f**king washer, drivers side is even more cramped because of a wiring loom

Well worth the effort in the end though, they look the nuts
Just need to sort out graphics now.

Nice work Austen

LUN008 (these are 6mm so fit the bolts suppied by Austen a treat..!)

If you give them a call and make out you need some (x8) to evaluate for suitability they'll send them as a free sample. Very good service, got mine next day..!

Still haven't done fronts yet, but I'm hoping I'll get away without removing inner arch completely..!

Jason

PS when you get these 'Lug nuts' flatten the inner spring clip with some pointed pliers. This makes it easier to slip them over holes in wheel arch without scatching the paint..! These are the business..!

Just asked for a sample in Stainless Steel, so nothing ventured nothing gained.

Thanks for the info Jason.
