Spec C Roof Vent Fitted to my hatch
 
Think this is a first over this side of the water as I know it's been done in the states.

But after some thinking and viewing on Nasioc I thought bugger it I want one.

I wont bore you with all 78 pictures of fitting it and cutting etc etc but here are a couple of snaps of my efforts.

I know there are many hatch haters on here so I wouldn't be surprised if there were negative comments.

Heres the complete kit which I ordered through subaru Uk

Very good mate....love the roof vents, cold in winter though as there's no point in having it and having it closed!

takes a brave man to cut a hole in his cars roof, hats off to you, looks like it was factory fitted and suits the car very well.

No negativity from me.... I've had 2 fitted so far and I'm on number 3 now as the RA has one as standard, brilliant mod not only visually but for usage :D:cool:

The roof wasn't as bad as i thought nerve wise, it was more the inside roof lining I was bricking it lol

Roughly the same as buying the kit from Japan parts & paying delivery in the end, long story but what was thought to come with the kit didn't :cry: so had to order more parts.

I stuck a post up on my local owners club site if you want to have a browse.
