I am tempted to redo it, I still have thread from my shifter. The bottom is bothering me as it is slightly off center

Ok I redid it. With the stitch they suggest it is actually a little tighter, but it turned out much better overall.
I really don't want to do that again....ever.... |

I need help from Canada. Apparently the side skirts on the USDM Impreza Sport 5-Door are an option there. Well, I live in the US and I've ordered all the parts to install these on my base model 5-Door Impreza... but I need to know where to drill and how big. An installation guide would be wonderful, as it's not an option here in the states so none of my service guys have info on how to install them. Not that I've been able to find!
Thanks in advance! |

In Canada only the Sport & premium come with the skirt. They are only offered with 17inch wheels too. So it is impossible for us to get the car without a skirt coming with 17inch wheels.
Basically none of us in Canada installed the skirt since it came with it. |

Is it an accessory/add-on that the dealer can install like Aero Guards or the front lip? If so, having access to that installation information is what I need.

It looks to me like it's held in place with approximately 16 clips. |

Yes sir... the whole "Rocker Spoiler", as Subaru calls them. That long trim piece that goes underneath both doors. Aero Splash Guards and the Strake kit can go on over it, but I'm talking about adding that entire part itself. To my knowledge, no-one's been crazy enough to do this yet. Of course I need to try it!

I do, but looking at one and saying "Oh yeah, I've got it. Let's just drill some holes in my car." seems like a bad idea. I just would like some sort of instructions or information on exactly where to drill and how big.

Size? Put a mic on the fasteners and drill that size since they will expand. How are you going to protect your holes so they don't rust? If I was doing this I would take a few sheets of paper together, use a car with them installed and Mark the location on the paper as a template Last edited by flyboy1100; 06-19-2013 at 01:05 PM. |

Anyone else notice that the stock grill blocks air flow to the intake? I decided to cut out a portion of the grill and put a screen in its place to improve air flow.
I still need to paint the screws black to match everything else. |

Or blocks water from just rushing into the air intake =)? You may have an interesting time at the next automatic car wash you go through.

Wouldn't that be an issue with the mesh grill too though? |
