Sar300 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Those : FLY EYES...'LOOK COOL' ....'WAITIN FOR' MY LOCAL WINDOW TINTER 2 START DOIN' EM. Mike buys the flyeyes and does it himself. All you need is a hairdryer/heatgun, scalpel and a bit of patience ;)

Just dont use it on the headlights, whilst they say you can it does affect the beam pattern come MOT time
Miker Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Front Grill now finished with Red edging and new Red STI badge :)
Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 lookin smart Mike! What did you use for the trimming? Could be the first How to guide for the new guide section?
Miker Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Stripped the grills and primed and painted the inner rims Steve, the hardest part was getting the grills out lol
Melanie Hayman Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Hmm........ I am looking for the mesh that you have got in the scoop - where did you find it? I have just bought a bigger scoop for my hawkeye (similar size to the blobeye ones) which is coming back from being painted at the weekend but it means none of the 'internal' fins will fit, gonna need something to fill the gap as I dont fancy small children being sucked into it - might dirty my engine bay ! :D
Melanie Hayman Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 BIG scoop now fitted and it looks awesome, car has a real aggrssive look now. Just need to avoid driving past any playgrounds as small children could most deifinitely be consumed
Miker Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Mel i got a sheet off eBay and made a cardboard template of the hole, then cut the mesh and fitted, but taken it off again now as the red was just too much, going to paint the mesh black and re do it again. Have plenty of mesh left in red. Of course Mel we need pictures when you add mods like that ;) Mike
Melanie Hayman Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Will add some pics........ pinky promise !!!! Got our first show in Preston on the 5th May so it will be its first official outing with the new scoop so there will be loads of pics!!! Hope no-one gets injured on the way :P If you have any mesh going spare I would be happy to take some off your hands (red or not) if you let me know how much you would like for it I can arrange with you :)
Pearson Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I'm a new member with a standard Subaru! loving the upgrades, they have given me loads of ideas!! 1
James Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I have a real thing for black cars and that STI looks mean!!! Very nice indeed!!
