carbon fibre b pillars on newage, cheers for the tip elmer:)
 
not the cheapest things in the world, but a nice subtle addition. bit of a nerve racking moment sticking them on, but i'm well happy with the look:)

Copy cat :d

Looks really nice and subtle.

Looks good seems to really stand out in the sunlight.Thinking of getting a carbon front lip for mines to replace the Scott Lowe piece of junk - am going over to US/Canada in June and you can pick them up brand new for £160 and then post it home as a gift to my brother to avoid the tax/vat.

hoskib 28 April 2007 03:01 PM

cheers guys:) what do they say, imitation is the best form of flattery?;)

sounds like a good price for the splitter bmac! always fancied a carbon fibre one myself, happy with the colour coded one i've got but you can't beat a bit of carbon:cool:

what's bad about your one mate? bit of a bad copy?

..well I'm still at the 'paranoid of damaging it' stage,342 miles precisely so far.AND got my first stone chip already:rolleyes:

New Falken 452 tyres fitted only this morning to the old Turini's @£65 a corner,nearly half the price of Toyo's will let you know how I get on with them:D

Its splitting right along where the filler bit that goes under the bumper and the bottom lip meet - if that makes sense.Was going to get it filled and resprayed but my cousin who is a sprayer says the material is too thin and it will just go somewhere else.Its a Scott Lowe and was not cheap.

that sounds a bit cack:( like you say, they're not cheap from there!

mine is a bit thin in places aswell to be honest, but it was quite cheap so to be expected. can your cousin back up with some more fibre glass on the back to get you out of trouble?

fancy doing a group buy on the carbon ones?;)

STI S204 has a Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler. Part number: ST960204S170



The c/f b-pillars look ok, you got a pic of the whole car with them on?

rb5 286 29 April 2007 12:10 PM

You say the Scott lowe on isnt cheap, how much was it?

I paid £320 for the genuine STI front lip (with discount) retails at a snip under £400.

The c/f lip from the S204 I posted above retails at £819.99s

i assume these arent available for the classics, due to the lack of a surround around the windows?

do look nice and subtle though.

skoosh 29 April 2007 10:36 PM

One question......................... where can I obtain a pair of these from......and, how much sir.......?

Si.

hoskib 30 April 2007 06:23 AM

apparently it's a glitch with the subaru site mate:) i believe they will fit all the way back to 01 new shape as the b pillars should be the same.

either way, you'll have no probs fitting them to your 03:thumb:

elmer, i have just pissed myself at that comment:lol1: be nice to the newbie;)

I was under the impression that they moulded round the plastic B pillar facia?

scooby-tc 30 April 2007 11:25 PM

I think this will be my first mod :D

I'll take a pic of mine and post it up tomorrow for you all to see the cheepo ones, decide yourselves then..

I would say they are slightly bigger than the ones pictured above and cover more of the standard plastic trim on the B pillar.

tomorrow then!!:norty: :thumb:

Is there fitting instructions or is it one chance and hope for the best?

Yeah you get instructions but it's really just a case of using some panel wipe on the B Pillars to get em nice and clean. Then just stick them on with the aid of a hairdryer to get the M3 backing nice and tacky so it takes a really good hold.

You cant fluber this up, if you do don't ever touch a spanner.

:cuckoo:

wow, that cheap! wish i'd seen them before, had a look on ebay and only found some for $60:(

does look a slightly different weave and do look a bit bigger, but i'm sure they look fine on your car. looks like the 3M backing isn't the foam type on those ones? probably makes no difference at all though.

good find that:thumb:
