Can anyone confirm how hard it is to do the front badge on the forester. CRUISN DIY only does the rear. anyone know how to remove it?

Same way mate. A bit of heat and it'll pry off with no probs.

White badge on a white car with chrome starts will look sweet as. Black will look good but white will stand out more ;)

The badge on the front grill badge seem to have two clips attached at the back which are just jammed in there pretty much. Ah well, hope nothing. Breaks!!

Interesting..! Fro memory, mine came off with gentle prying. The stock grille has a mould for the badge to stick to who might clip on? Afaik, the badge is just Stuck there though... Hope im not giving you a bum steer!

Actually I was thinking rear before.

I think rear will look good black and front would be good in white with the black grille.

You cold even do white stars on black for the rear and black stars on white for the front.

Had some initial problems with the hangers being not even close to fitting the exhaust on correctly (Xforces fault, even after speaking to them over the phone they were still adamant that they had supplied the right parts), have to thank Mao from Evolution are for going above and beyond and getting my car straight into a nearbye custom exhaust shop to get custom hangers made up so it all hung perfectly.


Video to come :D

Im guessing the exhaust was actually wrx specific and came with the 100mm extension piece?

Sounds like you're happy anyway, I personally don't like the look of a f#$koff cannon hanging off the back but that's just me.

Loving the car overall man.

@ zch91 - Yeah mate, it is quite large, I had previously heard the same exhaust system with the normal oval tip muffler which is a lot smaller, wasn't loud enough, figured if I'm going to flick the thing on and off it might as well be as loud as possible when it's on!

I'm in the process of doing the front badge of my liberty but I have no idea if it's the same as the foz but mines just double sided taped on and there is 2 plugs as well but they don't hold the badge in once u have the tape off its just there so u don't put the badge on upside down I assume.

All u need is a hair dryer and some thin strong thread to get it off
