As you can see (almost), I came pretty close in matching the factory Gunmetal that is used on the grille, mirrors, and the strip that is just below the rear window. I'm thinking of painting it PSM and maybe getting some thicker grille material, so I'll call this iteration ver1.0 . I also installed some Hella horns.

For some reason it looks like a pug-nosed cat?

Is that supposed to be a compliment or an attempt at being witty?

i know someone that has them!! there are pretty loud, can deff hear them over pretty much anything, the ones snowmann has are made for those who travel on highways and plan on letting truckers hear them!!!!!!! atleast thats what hella claims. this is def a good buy for a little under $70, as i've heard air horns are pretty loud.

They sound very nice (think Mercedes) and loud at 118 dB. For comparison, the Stockers are 97dB with the threshold of pain ay 130 dB.

Hang on....sound clip coming in 5...4...3...2...1...

I would imagine its the same as I doubt the STi has a completly different pedal assembly.
