Where’d you get the steering wrap from? 

Bought from Amazon. 

MEWANT Leather Steering Wheel Cover for Subaru Forester 2008-2012 / Impreza 2008-2011 / Legacy 2008-2010 / Outback 2008-2009 / Impreza WRX (WRX STI) 2008-2014 / Exiga 2009 / Forester Accessories https://a.co/d/cTTiOsd

Added JDM Honeycomb grill.  Doesn't sit flush with the bumper and there is a gap, but still looks decent.

Originally owned a new 2005 SWP Legacy GT.  Sold it in 2012 and been out of the Subaru community until this year when I picked up a 2008 DGM with about 148K miles.   A new OEM short block was installed at ~130k by previous owner. Exterior had some clearcoat peeling and dents.

Came with the following mods:

-Autospeed catback exhaust

-Mishimoto aluminum radiator

-Swift lowering springs

-Cobb AP OTS stage 1

Since I bought I've done the following:

-Painted hood, roof, fenders, rear spoiler, rear quarter panels

- new headlights (car came with HIDs) and fog lights (yellow LED bulbs)

-wrapped steering wheel with leather cover

- added Bayson R front lip

-06-07 Spec B wheels

Mods planned:

-rear sway bar (not sure what brand) 

-15 up STI steering rack

-refresh all rubber seals

-new Bilsteins

Other than that, don't have any other plans but to enjoy driving it.   Feels good to be back in the Subaru community!!

Next mod - JDM honeycomb grill:

Awesome Spec B!  STi Pinks look great.  Where did you buy the Bilsteins from?  Need to replace my shocks soon...

did you get them on again since they've been painted or are you still waiting for valve stems?

 

I've got the wheels on my car now...just have no time to post up pics. maybe this weekend
