The CF hood has the air intake facing the windshield so no air enters the IC= FAIL.

You can't even get a bugeye STI over here can you? Isn't that just a WRX for a start. Love the top mount with that hood.






Fail.

yes, that was one of the one reasons why he is a ricer unless he did a full drivetrain swap. 04' was the first year we fatass Americans aquired the STi along with a new front end and 2.5 engine catered specifically to us.
