Thanks for the feedback Chris. I have a different manifold from yours, and there's no room to do what you did unfortunately.

(not my pic but same manifold):

That carpet looks perfect. It looked a bit out of
place in my 2.5RS Coupe since it had no rear
seatbelts. Such a nice upgrade though over the
older carpets. And those STi mats fit really nicely
in there. Good find ;)

1. Wire up amp to speakers
2. Turn on and find out only two speakers are working
3. Adjust settings on amp so that all 4 channels are on
4. Turn on and find out only 3 speakers are working
5. Mess around with polarity
6. Blow fuse
7. Decide it's not worth the effort
8. Reconnect speakers directly to deck.

160k on the Odometer.

Also, opinions:

How terrible does this look? (Duct Tape is just for mock up, it would be vinyl wrapped)

I've been thinking about painting it for a while, but I'm not certain if I like it or not.

There was a new member that did recently I believe. I am not a big fan of the post face tail lights so I am not of much help. If your doing vinyl might as well go for it and if you really don't like you can just rip it off no harm done.

I dont like it a bit. Think it looks kinda like an old
Camry or something. On that note if you do it I
would leave the white strip in my opinion.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm still not certain what to do. Kind of reminds me of a crown victoria for some reason. But if it does happen, i'll definitely keep the white bar. Maybe if I could get vinyl that was the same color as the body it might work better.

I painted the red section black on my sedan, it didn't turn out too bad for a spray can job and cheap Wal Mart stuff at that.

Haha, yeah danny, you got to it before i could. Did you use a matte or a semi gloss? I'm thinking about trying to get some paint match paint and painting it body color, but i think vinyl is the first step since it's reversible.

Dang, dude. That thing looks new :D
I had the STi one on my RS with the
carbon fiber center. I loved that wheel.
The leather's nice on it and it's 3 spoke.

originalcyn: Yep. That's not a bad plan.

After about five years of having the parts to add cruise control to my Impreza I finally got the correct length throttle cable! So I put everything in this past Saturday. Surprisingly everything seems to work.

Swapped the projector headlights from the sedan to the wagon, fixed the wiring so the lows stay on when I turn on the brights, made and installed a small light bar for the wagon, and mounted two hellas on the light bar for my "brights". Still gotta clear the passengers tail light before friday.
