I've got a set of the ebay arches being delivered this week, I thought at the price i would take the gamble but once I get them I will offer them up and report back.

Make sure you separate the arches from the bumper or the arches will crack between the join... these are quite easy to fit and install. the blending looks nice but can crack thats fibreglass for u if u want the flush looks

Thanks for the advise, not sure which direction I'm going with yet I don't think I will blend them but I feel these cars are always a working progress so who knows where it will end up

I like the air scoops, think a single one is probably best but dont mind 2 either.

That business about them making engine bay hottter has to be the biggest load of guff I've ever heard.

I bet there is no real proof to go with it.

They probably came up with that data with a car sat on a dyno.

Its all just opinions tho and like ar$e's everyone's got one.

I spend hours looking at all the different looks that people go for trying to pick out the bits I like, but like the comments about the toms scoops some people will like some won't that for me is what makes this car fun

I prefer those but I'm not a great fan of scoops

[masterbateson]

Those bomex ones look like they've been in the sun to long and melted

The guy who was doing mine wanted to blend them in and hide the holes etc but i insisted he didn't, he did a light blend on the bumpers and the skirts and spats which i'm happy with but i reeealy didn't want the arches blended for fear of cracking (plus i prefer the bolt on look), gives it a more raw edgy JDM look IMO.

when i fitted the abw arches on my impreza i used riv nuts and stainless allen head bolts and i think they looked cool

[Ryan S]

Are those metal? Only on my phone so hard to tell, i'm trying to get a set of my arches copied in sheet metal!

I prefer scoop-less but if you have to have them .. Bomex

A good metal workz fabracator can do the job... i was thinking the same but i really have spent too much on this car. I got to stop somewhere

Sticking them on might be a good option and secure them with screws should be good if the get damage just take them off and redo

I was thinking the same LOL
just plain logic and phyisic but didnt want to be rude

[alan_uk]

it was actually tested by rogue

the reason it caused it to happen was the fact that they fight with air flow from all directions

but its only what ive read

there must be some reason why toms make the sealed box for it
