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).

[DSM_421]

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.

[DSM_421]

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!

[DSM_421]

Yea fins are actually not to tough to straighten out, just have to be patient.

Anyways good luck, car is coming along quite nicely!

[mdost03]

The owner of a shop in texas that I knew said a radiator fin straightener tool work great to straighten intercooler fins as well. Maybe give that a try first.

[Kracka]

I never knew there was such a thing, I will look into that. Thanks!

[Kracka]

Tint pictures!









The bad news is there is some hail damage on the hood so it will be visiting Dent Kraft

[TkrPerformance]

looking nice. take pics of the tmic damage

[Kracka]

Ok, I'll snap a few shots this weekend when I can get a few in the daylight.

DSM_421 says: "Looks great, tint really completes the car!

Sorry to hear about the hail damage on the hood

That car is a true sleeper, exhaust tip doesn't shout out that it is turbo back which I absoleutly love!

Car should be an ego crushed to some guys "

I'd like to add that it is only a catback exhaust at this point. The downpipe (all 3 cats are in the dp) will be replaced later this summer and then it will be time for a tune and more boost.

[Kracka]

Hail damage estimate = $2000+

[AwdGSX13]

Man sure glad i live south of the cities, no hail here FTW! On another note, that really sucks, sorry to hear.

[Kracka]

I ordered up a set of Eibach ProKit springs for this girly beast so they should be on within a few weeks (in plenty of time before the fall cruise).
