I ordered the Auris vent because it is cheaper.

Here is the vent that I got:

Compare with FRS/BRZ factory vent:

Firstly, remove the ring from factory vent. You will need the FRS/BRZ factory ring + Auris/Aqua vent.

Clap A will be the clap to attach the ring to the vent. Clap B is the clap to attach the whole vent to dash.

There are some modifications needed on Clap A.

You might figure out your own way to attach the factory ring to Auris/Aqua Vent (for example super glue).

As long as you keep the Clap B complete, you will not have problem installing the vent back to dash.

You will need Dremel tools for the modification.

DAMN!!!!! That's hella cool!!!! Thanks for the DIY write up.

wow that looks great.

ooh damn thats nice. good DIY too

I need that.

That's pretty sweet man! Good job!

Looks great! How's the airflow? Is there any increase/decrease?

Did not feel any difference. Because this vent does not fit the AC pipe on the back as good as the factory vent, technically the airflow should decrease. But the difference is negligible.

amazing i love this custom stuff. just placed an inquiry order for them

This is dopeee!! Excellent work OP! I also like the Moog quote in your Sig. :P

i heard nissan spent over 1000 hours making a similar a/c vent design for their new gt-r

Fun mod.

For the USDM versions the Scion/Toyota iM part numbers are:

Part: AIR OUTLET VENT, RIGHT

• Part Number: 55680-12280-C0

Part: AIR OUTLET VENT, LEFT

• Part Number: 55680-12290-C0

They may be more expensive than the JDM ones though (I didn't shop around, but at one website, they were like $70 each.

wow very nice!

That's a pretty good look. I like it.
