I got a lip from a friend and put it on last night.
It was pretty easy. I just put a push pin in each end and a clamp in the middle. This held it pretty well, and then I put the push pin through the metal tab on each side. Next I drilled the holes for the rest of the metal tabs and installed those screws. Last I drilled all the holes for the smaller bolts. I started with the middle two and installed the bolts. By this point the lip was held pretty firmly so I could drill the rest of the holes and they would be in the right spots.
It was all pretty easy. I did have some trouble with with the push clips on the very ends. It seems like the stock ones aren't long enough to read through 3 layers of plastic. I had a few from Autozone that were a little longer and they seemed to work OK, but I'm still not sure if they're in quite properly. Any tricks to make this work? The lip does seem to be on very securely, so it's just a curiosity.
While I had the drill out, I made some more holes:
This should let some more air get to the intake. I'm not really sure how much air will get through these little holes, but maybe it will help some. I'm not expecting miracles, just seemed like an easy thing to do. I'm not sure why there aren't holes from the factory, hopefully Subaru doesn't know something that I don't know....
