Talking Now Available: 2008 STi Bumper Removal/DRL Disable How To

In case some of you don't check the how to forums I compiled a how to remove the front bumper.

I know there have been many inquiries about this.

http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-inst...ml#post2023586

I also pointed out the Intake Silencer and DRL Disable in this How To.

And an older one...

How To: Paint STi logo on intercooler

On the 05+ LGT's there's a relay under the dash on the driver's side that you can disconnect to do away with the DRL's. Should be the same on the 08 STI's. I'll check it out later.

Wrong, its actually right in front of the passenger side front wheel behind the bumper.

BUMPER REMOVAL NOT REQUIRED.

The front passenger side bumper vent slides right off and gives you easy access to the plug to disable the DRL's... Its VERY easy! Should take less than 1 minute

Yeah, that's the wire harness plug. I was looking for the in car relay that we unpluged on the LGT's. It's in a different location apparently on the 08 STI. Because it wasn't there when I looked yesterday. That same harness plug could be unplugged on the LGT's. Most unplugged the inside relay instead. I was just looking for the easier way.
