That looks great. Good job. You should get the paint that matches the
interior. Pm Subie Gal. She has the type and code for paint that is sold over
the counter at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.

he doesnt have to worry about high temps during the summer in sc. beach is right here and we never break past 90 really. looks good but just a bit far from the line of sight for my taste.

I would have drilled circular holes around the surround so cool air still can blow through and to add some effect....but that's just me...

Looks real nice! +1 for DIY!
I've always been intrigued by that vent setup but, unfortunately it's not at all practiacl for where I live because I need at least hot air for the winter months.

I blocked the wiring behind it but the air redirects downward behind the vent for circulation. yes i graduated schs year 2004.

Nice job! As said before I would have either drilled or cut holes around the guage to let hot/cold air come through. My friend just bought a vent pod for his boost guage on his Audi TT. It looks amazing! TT's have a chrome trim around the vents with some dimples in them. His was an exact match. Do they sell something similar for Imprezas?

I had my bost gauge in the same spot for a while. summer was ok. the left side of my body did get hot during the summer though. a 60mm fits in the stock AC trim perfectly though. no need to make anything and its bigger so the #'s are easier to see form that distance

well where i live it doesnt get hotter then 85 durring summer and no colder then 55 during winter so the temp isnt to big of a deal. im ony 5'6 so its real easy to see for me. So the spot works out great for me. thanks for the compliments though guys!!
