I told Matt before I pulled my own name that if I got to do the 'Name Dat Powa' I was gonna say 210! But at the last second I said 217 thinking it was a little low.


I do recall hearing this!

I got some tint pictures yesterday on Janelle's camera but I forgot to grab her cable so I'll post those up within a few days. Bad news though, we were driving on Hwy 100 when that hail hit Sat night and the STI TMIC took a pretty good beating (I think the body panels are fine at least).

Damn, stupid hail! Like you said, atleast the panels are hopefully ok.

You don't have anything like mesh between the hood scoop and the TMIC?

Nope, there is nothing like that from the factory. I was going to fab something before our roadtrip around Lake Michigan to keep the rocks/bugs out of it, but I hadn't done it yet :(

I think one of these evenings I'll have to straighten the fins the best I can with a screwdriver and then get some metal screen from the hardware store and some how attach that to the inside of the scoop.

Damn, maybe if it got beat up really bad might just have to put an eBay FMIC on it?

Naa she wants to keep it as close to "factory" as possible which is why she is using all STI and SPT parts. After I look at it a bit closer and try to fix the fins she may just have to submit an insurance claim (but I don't think its bad enough to warrant that). Why Subaru doesn't have some time of screen in place from the factory is beyond me. No matter what, over time they really take a beating from all the bugs and rocks that get in there!
