matte/flat black spray paint worked very well to match my shifter, if that helps

my x-post from the main 100+ thread.

 

first post, figured i'd make it good.

 

lurked this thread for a couple weeks, got in touch with SVXdc and japanparts. couple weeks later and this is my end result... pretty happy with it!

couple notes:

-used jdm hazard button

-12v relay to bypass parking lockout

-painted the panel around the shifter, but not the inner silver part. worked well. matte black paint matched really smooth

-laketown speed and sound helped me a lot to get the dash kit to fit with minimal gaps (still a small one on the right side, but it's minimal) THOSE GUYS ROCK!

-removing the horizontal locking position of the clips on the shifter bezel allows the shifter to sit in place without being shoved to the right from the climate control panel

-used axxess to hook up steering wheel controls (provided by SVXdc)

-used pioneer p4300dvd. has a nice dimming feature that turns down the brightness with headlights which is nice and it makes the audio from my ipod (and other sources i imagine) sound 10x better through the HK Speakers.

 

quick unrelated question, can anyone confirm if this would work on an '09 outback without modification?

^jdm dual console box? i read a bunch of threads on it, one person had to mod their EDM box a bit to get it to work, but the consensus seems to be the JDM box works with not modifications.

 

finally, last but not least, THANK YOU SVXdc!!!!

^seriously, if you are going to do this mod, go through that guy, he rocks!
