I am not new to this and I know the difference between a 629 and a 701. I install complete systems in cars and have lost track of how many Lillis I have taken apart. The new Lilli will not fit in the WRX kit, which I have as well, because of its off centered new design. Let me know if you're looking for a better/optional solution of having the screen molded into place which it turns out really nice.
I do appolize if my comment came out insulting; I honestly didn't mean it to sound that way. Just realizing we are all human, and the fact of the misleading pics of the new 629s on the web, thought (and hoped, really) that you might have just made a minor mistake.
That is really bad news to hear. So that means the pic here in store contrasting the difference between the old and new 629 is just photoshopped, and not an *actual* pic of the two side-by-side. Not good at all...
I am possibly interested in the solution you have. I have seen alot of the fab work done in the forums, and while I admit it looks VERY good, I am a tad nervous about bondo or firberglass molds. I was hoping for a direct bolt in solution. I am probably at this stage going to pick up an older 629 on ebay and apply the 3M mods to it, but do let me know what alternatives are available.
Thanks,
