Adding to the fibreglass work









The final product


Used the magnet from a smart cover on the bottom of the fibreglass pan to hold the iPad in. The lightning connector also stabilizes.

I have a homie that has an 02 bugeye and he wants to trade steering wheels. Will they swap and what mods will need to be done?

Store things on spare tire compartment?
Not much of a solution to this problem...

Nice place to start looking to get some things done.

I figure this is the best place to post this....so here it is! My DIY license plate delete. Within hours of relocating my plate, I was tired of the eye sore that was the open holes the dealership drilled into the bumper. I didn't want to spend 45+ bucks on a plate delete that is essentially a piece of plastic or metal with a company's logo that I don't care to have. Making my own allowed it to be more customizable as well. All that was needed was a heat gun, dremel, pvc pipe, and vinyl wrap. Worth the 20$ I spent on the heat gun I am putting together a video tutorial (even though this is ridiculously simple), that I will link to when its finished.

Link to my DIY video of the license plate delete. I know yall are smart enough to make your own , but I made this anyways for those that can't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr5ZPLzvBZk

Dales, that is awesome.
Does it wobble around much on you?

So I grew tired of the poor lighting in my garage and having to use a trouble/work light when under my hood. I decided to wire up an under hood LED light that works like a fridge door (on when open and off when closed).
Items used:
10' - 14awg red wire
10' - 14awg black wire
10' - 1/4" split loom
1 - pin switch
1 - ring terminal connector
1 - female terminal tab connector
1 - 18" 3M adhesive backed LED light strip
5 - Zip tie adhesive backed mounts + zip ties
1 - Rubber bumper
1 - In line ATC fuse holder and a 10amp fuse


Here is a wide angle shot taken at night to show how much light this set up kicks out.

This mod took about 1 hour to install and was fairly easy, no more flash lights or trouble lights for this guy.

So I love the look of the Varis car's red stripe on the lower part of the center grill. I also love carbon.... and hate the OEM Subaru Jandsport backpack texture that is on all the plastic trim. I finally did something about it on the grill and also took care of the gloss black as well. I will be following this soon with the foglight bezels. Enjoy!!!


everything from the Subaru overlay to the grill is available as a kit if interested. DM me. Enjoy!!!! More pics to follow

I didnt see this DIY on the main page or the few i went through but i think i may try this soon. Its a diy plastic rain gutter sideskirt thread. I was pretty scared to see how this turned out but it doesnt look bad! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...iy+side+skirts

[Mitchrod1]

I think the 04-05 sti interior is the best

[Daytonkrull23]

Thanks for the awesome list and keep them coming!

[Daytonkrull23]

I would agree that the 04-05 interior is the best as well

[Daytonkrull23]

Im looking at upgrading into the 04-05 interior

Repainted my hella horns blue and made my own hella horn bracket mount using a L shape metal strap tie. Cost of bracket and bolts = $8
