One of the most hideous features on a Scooby and you are volunteering to inflict it on your car???

Thanks BossHogg!! Nice car by the way!

And you are dead right Jon, electric aerials are way cool! B-) plus I hate the manual one that sticks out of the A pillar.

Cheers guys.

omg what are you doing ? you can get a much better rear screen job no drilling, no sticking on the way down after a few months , don't do it , look at the better solutions out there.

I take it that all those with negative views are STi owners who have had problems with theirs?

Not at all Talizman, speaking for myself I can see absolutely no reason on earth why anybody would want to put something as ugly and old fashioned on to their car.

Next it'll be 4 chrome self tappers holding the number plate on.

Not really spoon, I just like the idea and convenience of electric one.

Bee stings are kinda dated and the standard one does my head in thats all.

None at all taken.

It wouldn't do for everyone to agree anyway otherwise we'd all be running for a parliamentary seat.

Hi,

I'm looking for a favour from anyone who owns a JDM WRX or STI saloon with the electric quarter panel mounted aerial.

I've bought one to fit to my car, but I'm unsure of the exact location before I start drilling my baby!

I'd be sooooo grateful if you could do a couple of measurements for me? <cheeky>

I need to know a number of measurements....

Firstly, how far the aerial is mounted horizontally in from the rear door. {diagram (a)}.

I also need to know distance from feature line on top of quarter panel to aerial {diagram (b)}

And lastly, the distance from feature line on side of quarter panel to aerial {diagram(c)}.



Thank you in advance for your kind help!
