Got mine from rally sport they sell a variety DEI products, dont know if theres any Australian suppliers it will be pricey now with the exchange rate as bad as it is.

Theres also ThermoTec you can get that on Carmods but haven't dealt with the brand before. best of luck

Some people do their whloe firewalls in their products, depends on indirect heat and direct heat

Silver would be more appropriate fore heat shields n such.

Did you have to cut much of your boot trim to get the rear strut brace in there? I'd lik to do one but I have a fooly sik subwoofa to consider... which consequently, just fucking died.

Go to page 5 of this thread if you want to see more pics.

Nah dude just top carpet liner and couple mm of the side parts I went overboard for convenience of removal and adjusting rear coil overs when I get them also lazy at the same time to make precise cuts.

You only need to cut to the point blue part of bracket of the bar see the pics how I overshot the cutting you can make way tighter.

Pretty sure the one Gordon is selling (Arai motorsport) fits the hatches without trimming anything Mr Trolley.

I reckon it would provide more stiffness as it's attached at four points rather than just the strut towers.

Hey y'all about to put another order for parts .
Should I be also picking up electronic boost controller solenoid like Grimspeed one for the tuning? I'm getting done in the next month or so.

Next order consists of so far
-Grimspeed heat sheild
-PTP lava turbo blanket
-Q300 cat back
- Dw65 Pump
-Perrin Pitch stop mount

So thats:
TBE, PW TMIC, Fuel pump and CAI. Should their be anything else should picking up other then turbo, E85 or headers. As i want to leave those mods stock til next couple years .
