One of my classes was cancelled today, so I had a chance to debadge the front grille and snap some quick pictures. I like the way it came out.

So what made you go from the Invida n1 to the q300?

The horrendous droning that took place while driving at a constant speed, mainly in 5th on the highway. Having the hatch made it a million times worse too, because the "trunk" is open to the rest of the car. It sounded amazing though. I actually still have it, so I may throw it back on at some point

I hate drone, my buddies dads car was horrible, so loud you couldn't speak let alone think, so glad my truck doesn't drone that bad.

It seems like a PITA to use it vs just wiring into the stock horn wiring like you and eightplustwo did.

The radiator support is a good location because it gives you the freedom of mounting the hella's anywhere you want basically. And there is about an inch of space behind the front part of the radiator support, enough room to drill a hole and mount them up.

When I did it I used a center punch to mark where I was going to drill the holes, then I stuck a piece of wood behind where I was drilling so I didn't push through too fast and into the other side.

I don;t know if you saw this in my member journal or not, but here is a picture with the bumper off...you can see where I mounted the hella's...

When you go to do the install if you have any questions let me know, or if you want to meet up i could help you out as well.

Thanks man, I actually was looking through your journal last night. Thanks for the pic! I'll attempt to do the install myself, but if I **** it up somehow, I'd definitely be down to meet up. Can't turn down seeing a nicely done '11!

Car looks really clean. Def. one of my favorite hatches. I'm a sucker though for the white, too!

Thanks a lot Jen, that means a lot. White, specifically satin white pearl, is my favorite Subaru color besides world rally blue. Thank you for the kind words


On another note... AEM intake & Hellas have arrived! Just waiting on the Tail light overlays from Blue Batmobile. Also thinking of getting HID (3000k) fog lights from DDM Tuning because of the life time warranty. What does TST think?

[caldwell]

DDM Tuning seems to have a good rep from talking with most people, but i sadly had a bad experience... They sent me the wrong items, and would not exchange or refund my $ after sending them back their product back to them twice...

Wow... what did they mess up?

I've heard their customer service was top notch. I'm sorry you had a bad experience
