Has anybody fitted exhaust trims available for the sti to a wrx rear bumper? I am fitting a blitz nur spec to my08 wrx and will need to cut the bumper on both sides to take the new exhaust, and i was thinking about sticking a pair of surrounds on to tidy it up?

I don't know if they will fit but I've got a set for sale if you're after them! I bought them for my STi but then decided not to fit

Are they the stainless ones from subaru?
I am preferably looking at the black ones from scoobyworld they are a bit more subtle and are a lot cheaper!
But i wouldn't rule out the stainless ones for the right price

They're the genuine stainless ones. I had intended to put them on but my car is black with black wheels so wanted to keep a stealthy black look.

You can make them fit as a lot of the wrx owner use them when upgrading to the quad STI exhaust, they need to cut a whole on the other side for the second exit and use thes eto tidy up the opening.

Yes plenty (of STI's), really depends on colour of the car as to how much they stand out, I never went for them on mine but they are ideal on a WRX as make the new outlet look oem.

I know of a few that have painted them black so the do they job but are nice and subtle!

EBC NDX are great.
Got mine from Ian at Godspeed.
Only EBC pads I would use.

Else Mintex ( 1155 ), Ferodo ( 2500 ) .. depends on your driving style and how hard you are on the brakes.

Guys I'm looking into painting my interior door handles, do I have to remove the whole door card just to get the silver bit off?

Thanks
