Yakima is the brand - I've never seen them outside the US.

Ive been looking into it for ages... Virtually impossible to get here unless u have $$$$

I've seen some in the US use snowboards. Just detune the edges so they aren't sharp...

[Morgan]

Shouldn't be too difficult to make out of some Perspex or something?

Sorry, I was bullied a lot at school.

Either that or perspex..

needa do something about bonnet.


Also, considering buying a new car. kinda sick of this liberty, the newer revisions look so much nicer on the inside...

Thule makes those diffuser things for roof racks.

http://www.thule.com...list.php?s_id=2

Control F 'fairing'.

$131...not bad...

there's a tyre place down the road from mine that supplies Thule gear.

[FR34KO]

Cool find! 'Fairing' Now we know the official name and price and these look just like one i saw on a civic at blacktown bout a month ago. Namely the end parts are how im identifying that.




EDIT

Cheaper on Ebay:

^ SOMEONE DO IT.

[Morgan]

After much research last night I did discover they are called a 'roof fairing'. I plan to get one at some point but have a few other mods planned for the time being.

Sorry, I was bullied a lot at school.

You guys need to research harder. Ive been considering one ever since I bough the Outback but according to the US forums the mounting clips are very flimsy and prone to breaking.

That above ebay link doesnt ship to AUS. This one does......

$110 to your door is pretty cheap.

Ok that makes me want to build my own brackets, not a bad price, but i dont want 110 dollars being flung behind me while im doing 110.

And it'd most likely be a problem if you dont have Thule racks?

Plus, Ive had a little bit of a brain storm and come up with another idea that will make mine unique as fook. ..well, have a unique feature about it..

[FR34KO]

Guys TWO QUESTIONS,

does anyone have any knowledge/experience about painting dash parts? Not the hard plastics but the trim, the softer more pliable plastics, so meaning the glove box and surrounds and the door trim plastics.. I want to darken it up, make it look and feel like a newer revision Lib.

And also, in regards to painting the boot and spoiler; I'm wondering if i should go out and do it with 2-pak paint so its stronger, or just do the spray can enamel paints. Want to keep it as DIY as possible though.

Cheers guys

[Adam]

If you wanna DIY, use acrylic and a gun I reckon. Pressure pack would look povo.

If you don't wanna buy the gear. Pay someone to spray it.

Or try cans first, but I dont think it will come up that good!

[FR34KO]

damn yea thats what i was afraid of.. Might search around mates to see if any have the equipment.

Any idea how much I'd be looking at for a small pack?

[Adam]

A fair bit actually, need a decent compressor, spray gun, hose, and mask.

But can get it looking pretty good!

Notbadface!


Best see if you can borrow gear!

Or like i said, give cans a go! But I don know how high your expectations are!
