Doing another would be a piece of pi55

Frayz....do the roof vent yourself,i did the one on our rally car...takes a good hour or so(without doing the roof lining)...

Plenty of measuring up and masking tape require...then ***** of steel to start cutting with the jigsaw..lol

I bought our vent on e bay...it came complete with the roof and the A pillars..

Have been thinking about doing this for a while. As posted above they have a few vents down at Jap Performance Parts, and they have the head lining to go with it.

Just haven't found anywhere to cut the hole and fit it....so might have to speak to ABW

well you are putting a hole in your roof metal... the seal could leak or the vent itself could let water in around it

Id agree if it was a monkey aftermarket item but its a genuine subaru item, the seals have a glue/sealer in them from the factory.

I will be sealing the hinges with a spot of sealer too.

Im pretty confident it will be fine

That did cross my mind but it aint a spec c.. everyone knows it aint.. and to everyone else its just another subaru. Those that dont know what a spec c is wont know whether its an STI, WRX, RB% or a WR1..

thats cos its just another bloody subaru on the road.

Those in the know will see i have a clean quality mods.. so they will respect it anyway.. if they dont.. who am i to care?

Is Tinys WRC rep a fake WRC car????... You decide

I suppose the same could be said that all of the subarus with rally graphics, aint wrc cars, and all of the ones with STI on em aint STIs.
I belive you have a RB5 spoiler mate.. but you dont own an RB5...

Swings and roundabouts I think.

With the amount of stuff ive done to the car mate and the fact it will spend alot of time on track next year.. as Adidas said.. it will only enhance the cars WRC inspired looks so who cares.

I dont know many newage cars that have the vent put in.. so its another mod for me to be different.

I plan on having much more "GO" than show anyway
