Availbale from here
japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE
Don't know if Iain can get the parts on there as they seem to be all JDM.

In that case Codie dont look now
Carbon fibre centre console, oooo suits you sir!!
and a close up
Dont worry, its vinyl. Came from the guy on DW world I posted earlier!!
Probably a good thing I have lost my trim popper, or I can see the door flashes getting done too, they shouldn't be that hard to cover.

And tonights installment!!!
What it looks like fitted and in daylight. Will have to be redone at some point, in the process of fitting it in the dark, when pushing it back intot he dash, I managed to cause a small ripple so that will have to be sorted.
Now does anyone know how to get the silver flashes off that surround the dorr handles???

Codie, not yet, if plans come together at the weekend, I'll grab 1 then. Oh sorry about the mpg readout.....
If anyone wants to see this, I have a few off cuts I can send out as samples so you can see the material, and the seller is more than happy for you to speak to him.
Yeah right, believe that and you'll believe anything..
Now to get thise door handle surrounds off!!!! Oh and the light trims......

Not yet, I've lost my trim tool, so it looks like it might just be the bum that gets wrapped this weekend, whilst I wait for a new 1 to turn up.
Trying really hard not to do anything untill its had its first service in March 2010!

New Exhaust
Well thanks to RB5 I managed to get my hands on a shiny Prodrive backbox which I fitted last weekend, looks so much better than the standard exhaust.
Standard
Prodrive
On tickover its pretty quite but maybe a little more throaty, does seem to open up though when under load, I'll probably be fitting a de-resonated centre pipe pretty soon though so hoping that will incraese the noise a little more.

Pretty much new, Its off of RB5's car so about 2/3 months old, whenever I drive seems quite but guess that is to do with the improved sound insulation on the Hatch and is autually louder on the outside, seems so anyway when the Mrs go out!

If anoyone is thinking about defi's, the light pod by the mirror is so weasy to remove its untrue. You pop the frosted but out and by each bulb there is a screw. Take these out and it drops into your hands.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Subaru you cost cutting, penny pinching, corner cutting cheapskates!!!! Better build quality does not mean put more bloody clips into the panels. It means use better materials 
The rear silver flashes on my doors are all screwed in, great dead easy to take off..... Pity about the fronts.... They have screw posts, but only 1/2 of them have screws in, the other half are all hot met plastic rivets
Still, atleast all my cosmetic mods are all done now.. Phew... Although I have just seen a pic from the states of my bumper with an sti spliiter on, thankfully credit card says no
Anyway to nights installment before the full pics tomorrow. I think I may have got a bit carried away.....
When I say carried away, I mean I've even done the light by the rear view mirror!!!!!! Just as well I dont have enough stuff left to do any more to the car.....
For those of you thinking about doing the silver panel with the switch gear in, they will be impossible to wrap, atleast on mine, their 1 complete unit. On the link someone posted earlier to the CF replacements, the pnaels had no grab handle recesses in, just holes where they should be.

Yes mate tis me, it's going well thanks, how's yourself?
Considering tweaking the suspension, don't want to go too far as it's Debbie's daily driver, but would like it to feel a bit sharper when I get chance for a play
Really interested in the carbon, but more for the P1, got a couple of panels I could trial it on first

Scooby Wagon, its dead easy. Just requires thought and to take your time doing it. Other than than, easy peasy. Just like covering school books in stick backed plastic.. Warmng the stuff gently with a hair dryer makes contours alot easier.
Drop me a PM with your addy and I'll put a couple of off cuts in the post so you can have a play.

Great job on the carbon work. Might have a go at some of them myself. Would you PM me the supplier details.
Cheers
