Brave man!

Not sure I could trust myself cutting a hole in the roof. The parts place quoted about £200 for all the bits so I'll be doing it at some point.

Trying to get hold of STI RA blue seats at the moment so the roof vent will have to go on hold - for now

Cheers for the info

Heya guys,

Sorry i haven't yet had time to write this tutorial that i promised you.

I have been very busy recently, however i do have another vent to fit in a friends STi in the very near future. So I think we will be using his car as the photoshoot for the tutorial as it will be better to have someone else take the pics whilst I do the work.

Check back soon

lol, i thought that may have been the case.

Just one question, where did you measure from to start the oval? or is it once the inside bracket is attached, can you then work out where the oval goes.?

So what was the cost in the end ?

I appreciate the labour element can add a fair bit but I have a mate that would do it ...............................I think


First question was serious btw

Cost for what Phil?

The vent kit?

The vent kit is circa £220 landed and painted (sometimes a little more depending on customs charges etc). I wouldnt fit one for less than £200.

So say £450 tops fitted.
