[subaru_styles]

since i have everything possible JDM exterior (will have a wiper window this year), only parts left to convert are interior. just got this in the mail.. JDM astray!!! .. its on a tension/spring gear mech. you push it in the middle and it moves out like a cd tray on a computer. ill try to take a little vid of it






got the jdm black leather console on the way too

[dscoobydoo]

Curious where you are getting the window?

[subaru_styles]

getting the wiper used, been working on trying to get the glass brand new from japan

[kimokalihi]

Where you getting JDM parts from and how much are they costing you? I could care less about an ashtray but a leather console would be nice. I had no idea these parts existed.

[dscoobydoo]

I have a few of the wipers/motors.
I have a few sources that say the glass is no longer available in Japan.
BUT- you can get it in NZ or Australia ( I have been told)

Curious on the cup holder and how it works though.

[subaru_styles]

cup holder>?

[dscoobydoo]

OK, ashtray ( they are like cup holders to me because I don't smoke)

[subaru_styles]

ah..yeah one of the importers i go through has me on the "want" list for that window. thaweird about it not being available new from japan, that doesnt sound right

[evolutionmovement]

Japanese inspection is a stupidly wasteful subsidy to their domestic manufacturers resulting in fairly new cars often being discarded for insignificant violations and because taxes are so high, making it cheaper for people to buy new cars every few years rather than keep the old ones. I would guess that if the manufacturers are not required to by law, that they wouldn't manufacture parts for discontinued cars for very long (certainly not 17 years) since the market for them would be so small, especially something that's a non-wear item and large to warehouse or keep molds for. And I'm pissed about the USA's consumer culture!

got another box in the mail.






oh and as far as the glass, yes it is still avilable, however at the price + shipping for it im still holding out for the importer guys to find one.

[dscoobydoo]

So what are they quoting for the glass with shipping?
