    As from here, it's all in the trial and trimming!! Before final assembly, make sure all parts fit together without problem. If u are happy with your work, clean every part with some brake cleaner or other degreaser, then continue. 1. Put the bezel back in place and secure with the one screw...

    PART 4. Trimming & assembly of the headlight 1. Start by installing the funnel into the glass. Once in position, put a tape across to keep it in place. On the inside, use the sealing to 'glue' both parts to each other, making sure there's a smooth layer all around the funnel. This will make...

    DIY 03-05 Impreza ?Blob-eye? Headlight Air Intake

    Part 2 & 3 PART 2. Cutting the hole in the glass: 1. Mask the part of the headlight where the hole needs to be drilled. I did this to protect the glass in case I slipped with the dremel. It's also very handy to draw on. 2. Place the funnel on the headlight and find the spot where it has the...

    Since I haven't found a how to about this, I thought doing a write up while actually making one would be helpful to others as well :) NOTE 1: Before we start, this is at your own risk!! If it goes wrong, the headlight will be permanently damaged and become unusable!!! I advise you to get a...

    Thanks! Well, let's say that it went quite easy... up to the point where I needed to reassemble the headlight, then the PITA started :shock: Plenty of trimming, fitting, repositioning, adjusting, grinding, cursing, swearing,.... :lol: The how to is in the make, I just don't know if I'll have...

    Doesn't matter. U have the black neoprene hose which is good for temps starting at -76F till 275F and there's the orange silicone one which is good for -76F to 617F. My guess is the orange will be a little stronger so more durable :) The black one however will be more flexible to route if u...

    @ Grinder34: i know, i have found them earlier but getting them to europe is another story :p The backing plate will only be installed if this isn't sufficient, which i very much doubt. @ Alin: which ducts do u mean? The black parts are from Corvette, only available via dealership. The hose...

    Update for this week: brake cooling :) Remember these: These would serve as basic entry point for the cold air. After some thinking about how, I started to go work. It's fully functional, but not yet completely how i would like it to be. :lol: Started with some Corvette inlet ducts and...
