Default fitted the 05 rear arch tims to older models...

ok, i see that the newer version of the blob eye has these...



was wondering if anyone has fitted any? i idealy wanted a simple set, to put on, but dont fancy the task of drilling into the bodywork, as i have seen that is the case on a thread on a different site.

has anyone done this? is drilling required? or could a set be purchused, then the fitting lugs removed, and just bonded on, or whatever.

thanks, rez

Looking at the pic it looks like you will need a different bumper too as the arch extension grove runs into the bumper and I'm sure the older blobeyes do not have this on the number.

I fancied it at first, but as stated, the 03/04 doesnt have the we turn up bit at the edge of the rear bumper that runs into the arch trims. Sounds like a lot more hassle than it's worth really

you will need the slightly newer bumper and arch trims matey. You could break of the lugs and bond.

C'mon Scooby-tc, because it looks good, just like you made some nice mods to your white example

mine where just tiger sealed on and not had and not had any problems with them. was going to fit the sti rear bumper (bought one) but now a change of plan sees it sitting in my garage for sale!

If you go for the arch extensions it will make a difference to the rear and if you want a split new sti hawkeye rear bumper let me know!

Mine from a few years ago:
