Thats not a bad price, its only about $312 nzd, and including postage it would still be under the $600 i saw here.

Signed up to eBay asked the guy a couple questions, i now await his reply and if all good buy now motherf**kers

Or you can try the japan yahoo auctions and go through fortyone. Its a blo0dy confusing website though. Tried getting a few parts but too much confusion

Yeah that too.. if you use Google Chrome, it will translate the page for you, then it's actually quite easy to navigate your way around.

Wouldnt they cost a fortune to install??

[funkytown]

about $100 to paint, and $250 to install from the guys i asked nicely. If you hunt around youl find the templates that help an installer immensely

[Scoobydoo]

If you don't mind taking to your car with an angle grinder then they shouldn't be too hard to install yourself, given the right instructions?

[nt_a_foz]

there was a step by step install on some overseas forum someone sent me and it was so easy to do your self it wasnt even funny h

if you were confident you could get it straight yes i have that link with template etc.

factor in paint costs if required for the vent itself, and rust coating around the hole you cut so roof doesnt rust.

Found an install here: http://www.type-r-ra.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4243

interesting

in this pic - notice that itermediate bar across the roof , im fairly sure this is where you drill the holes.

From inspection wagons DO NOT have that bar - so mounting it will be interesting - thoughts anyone?

[Scoobydoo]

Nah I think the holes just go into the roof, not through that bar

This image shows there is still a fair bit of room between the edge of the hole and the bar

Then this image shows where the holes have been drilled.. to me it looks like they are closer to the edge of the whole than where the bar is from the previous pic. May be close though

[funkytown]

can someone with a vent please confirm the mount (thats looked under the roof liner)

[nt_a_foz]

Talk to that guy disruptve ?? or something from CHCH he had the V4 Sti wagon with dccd dand roof vent..pretty sure hes a panelbeater 2

funky - ninja edit CRRUPT is his user name
