So-CaliWRX · 02-14-2007, 01:12 AM

we'll see. im hoping not

4wdrift · 02-14-2007, 01:13 AM

That looks great. Good job. You should get the paint that matches the
interior. Pm Subie Gal. She has the type and code for paint that is sold over
the counter at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.

skate enjoi · 02-14-2007, 06:34 AM

that looks great! did you fiberglass it?

So-CaliWRX · 02-14-2007, 12:00 PM

i thin layer. sanded, primered and painted. i think i am going to look into that stock wrx paint. make it look more factory

JCall · 02-14-2007, 12:12 PM

bazdrum · 02-14-2007, 12:33 PM

looks great! +1 for prosport gauges..

EJ2point0 · 02-14-2007, 02:01 PM

russd32 · 02-14-2007, 02:10 PM

Looks great!

wacerx · 02-14-2007, 02:11 PM

he doesnt have to worry about high temps during the summer in sc. beach is right here and we never break past 90 really. looks good but just a bit far from the line of sight for my taste.

schs grad? what year?

=LPR= · 02-14-2007, 04:06 PM

nice job. did you block off the vent behind it?

Leper Dog · 02-14-2007, 04:08 PM

Actually came out damn good, looks awesome!

jtanoyo1 · 02-15-2007, 09:18 AM

I would have drilled circular holes around the surround so cool air still can blow through and to add some effect....but that's just me...

so rexy · 02-15-2007, 09:45 AM

Looks real nice! +1 for DIY!
I've always been intrigued by that vent setup but, unfortunately it's not at all practiacl for where I live because I need at least hot air for the winter months.

So-CaliWRX · 02-15-2007, 10:06 AM

I blocked the wiring behind it but the air redirects downward behind the vent for circulation. yes i graduated schs year 2004.

FJD915 · 02-15-2007, 12:33 PM

looks clean

dlin · 02-15-2007, 02:33 PM

looks nice man- i like it!

wacerx · 02-16-2007, 03:48 PM

haha wow 04. i was 03 but i cant say i have seen your car around. if i do i am going to have to check out this gauge pod.

kyleblix · 02-16-2007, 04:56 PM

nice, looks good

Donzo · 02-16-2007, 08:49 PM

Nice job! As said before I would have either drilled or cut holes around the guage to let hot/cold air come through. My friend just bought a vent pod for his boost guage on his Audi TT. It looks amazing! TT's have a chrome trim around the vents with some dimples in them. His was an exact match. Do they sell something similar for Imprezas?

sluflyer06 · 02-16-2007, 08:58 PM

looks awesome, but very out of way location to actually use the gauge while driving.

WRXDriftR · 02-16-2007, 09:07 PM

id prefer something closer to eye-level
