Default top hat installation

Hi

does anyone have any information, i have tried searching, for the top hat installation?

can you put them back into the car any way? as the top hat spins, i dont know where the alignment for it was? ie there is 3 bolts, do they hvae to go in a certain way?

both top hats have RII or R2 on them, can someone check if they have a stock wrx top hat in their car if it has that marking on it/

Much appreciated!

Josh

unless they are aftermarket, top hats are symmetrical.
