I saw a bird up ahead on the road and was getting kinda worried about hitting the thing as I got closer and it didn't leave the roadkill it was nibbling on. I started honking my horn, to no avail...I smacked the bird and THOUGHT that most of it hit my windshield (leaving a bloody mess none-the-less!) This morning I open up my hood to install my new Stock OEM 3 Gauge Pod in my dash and find this: Attached File(s) 1.jpg ( 97.87K ) Number of downloads: 15 -------------------- 2002 WRX Mods: TD05H-18G 7cm, PE650cc injectors, TGV deletes, ScoobySport Up, Dp, & Muffler, SS AutoChrome TMIC, Hawker PC680T Battery, Injen CAI, ACT Stage2 Clutch, Gruppe-S 13.8lb Flywheel, Mobil1 and Redline oil, NGK BKR7EIX plugs, Goodridge SS Lines, Hawk HPS pads, Blaupunkt MP3000 headunit, Infinity BassLink Sub, Kenwood KFC-1689ie speakers (6.5"F / 5.25"R), Rota Downshift (Black), Fuzion ZRi (225/45/17)

02 WRX TD05H-18G 7cm Group: PhanaticMods Posts: 3378 Joined: 5-May 03 From: Dayton, OH Member No.: 687	The best part about this whole thing is that earlier in the same day, I ordered one of Jedimaster's hood scoop screens...Man Jedi, faster shipping might have saved this from happening! But then we wouldn't have these pictures to laugh at!! Hood Scoop Screen Suggestion: I'm going to suggest that only the hood scoop screens would be able to prevent this... I vote strongly against getting a screen that just sits on top of your intercooler! When mine comes in, I'll make a DIY for it and "bird proof" my car. JEDI: Why don't you call your screens "Bird Proof WRX" or something even cooler sounding? You can even use my pictures to help you sell some! (Maybe I could get a hookup because of them?) Think about it. -------------------- 2002 WRX Mods: TD05H-18G 7cm, PE650cc injectors, TGV deletes, ScoobySport Up, Dp, & Muffler, SS AutoChrome TMIC, Hawker PC680T Battery, Injen CAI, ACT Stage2 Clutch, Gruppe-S 13.8lb Flywheel, Mobil1 and Redline oil, NGK BKR7EIX plugs, Goodridge SS Lines, Hawk HPS pads, Blaupunkt MP3000 headunit, Infinity BassLink Sub, Kenwood KFC-1689ie speakers (6.5"F / 5.25"R), Rota Downshift (Black), Fuzion ZRi (225/45/17)
