This is a great write-up and should be sticky'd.

Amazing work.

 

I'm going to be doing this just trying to find spare interior trim parts to minimize my down time.

let me know what you looking for .

sometime you dont have to look too far to find it .

the sedan usdm base holder is black and fit the wagon !

you will have to slot the piece to insert the belt for installing the headliner . no easy to install cause you will have to insert thru the belt at same time you positionning the headliner !

but can be an idea if you dont want to modify like i did .

HOLDER-COVER,REAR SHELF

Part Number: 65556AG08AJC

BASE HOLDER-SUN ROOF

Part Number: 94472AG54AJC

I was looking at some old pictures of it and I agree. I might have to paint them all Sublime Green.

your body shop did a great job , not easy to do a black color so straight !

look so clean !

i loved your blue wrap also .

Did the North Cascade loop with kalien32 over the weekend. Unfortunately I had to work Saturday when him and some other friends drove Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic peninsula.

 

this is some serious hooked wagon !!!

beautifull shot as usual

The price difference would probably be huge. I would bet that all those interior pieces would probably run close to a grand. I know the sun visors are around $125 each. For the price of 3 or 4 SEM cans,you can probably do the whole interior.

yes price wise big difference , would like to see if somebody succeed to paint all this parts and what it look like . i m sure you can get a good result but i m worry how it will age .

Seems like a lot of work to me. Why not just paint the parts that you have black? SEM makes excellent paint for exactly this use.

look like a lot of work but is not .

there is no need to paint the parts , there are available in black .

this thread is intended for people that seek a oem quality like myself .

saw a new sti at dealer .

you can use the handle from the shade sunroof , but it s not sold separetely .so need to source used if you go this route .

the sunvisor have different cap from the legacy , it s still only two screws to attach to the body but dont know if it will fit lgt .

Here is a thred for his badass wagon

was watching the thread , feel so jealous now

great car !

map light in action .

of course i did not include all the step about this process , like take the headliner out and other small detail but you will have a good starting point for your own project .

map light

i used a map light from an STI .

everything is plug and play , cause is a sedan one of the sunroof switch have no use .

i also decided to switch the airbag lighting to the same place , the sti section is a mic and the section can not be remove , so with a little bit of grinding and drilling all fit in place .

the inner section was paint black to make it darker .

seat belt upper attachment .

before

after

i decided to switch the seat belt upper attachment. so in order to proceed i had to buy a use set of jdm seat belt .

the jdm can not be swap complete( for my knowledge) cause some small difference . please refer to pics . the jdm have a tensionner for the driver side , what i dont have on my 06 and anyway it will be passenger side for me .

do this mod if you feel confident and judge for yourself the safety result .

in order to unroll the belt you need to remove the ratchet system , after that iis easy to unroll the belt and to access the pin to remove the belt from the roler . clamp lightly the gear cause it still spring actuated .

the hanger can not be removed , the end of the belt is too thick to pass .

for the usdm you can destroy the hanger to get it out , you dont need it .

for the jdm , cut the belt , take it out and slot the opening 3mm (1/8) so you can pass the belt thru to reassemble .

i did the opening with a hand grinder , i m use too but is very risky!

best is to go to a machine shop , and only slot the top of the opening belt not the side where the belt will slide .

do this at your own risk .

you can also wash it to make it softer and better to roll in !

for the seat belt located on the roof i used the black cover jdm that are made for the non sunroof trim . they are different parts , so i had to re shape the headliner .

i made a plug and a mold of the section . did a fiberglass parts bonded on the headliner and blended.

the jdm sunvisor hook dont fit . i compared to sti usdm but different , so use the jdm one .

to make it fit i had to sand 1 milimeter of the pastic clip .

better to show you with pic

sand all the tab around , remove 1 mm and try on .

Cap pillar

i never find the parts number for wagon cap C pillar:cool: a mystery ! . so i used the cap of sedan C pillar .

need to be modified cause is different , the way it clip on . i grinded a litlle the pillar slot and modified the cap and reinforced it with epoxy . also the shape is a little different so i clamped on place over night .

the C pillar need to be disassembled to re cover with fabric . you will need to grind the palstic spot in the back and after glue it back with epoxy .

you dont need to purchase all pillar .

A pillar , cover yours with fabric

B pillar needed to have a least the sliding center section black , buy black cap

C pillar cover yours with fabric , buy black cap

usdm sti , 2008 to 2014 , share the same components .

map light , dome light , trunk light

handle , but i think sti dont have the handle with hook .

sun visor should be the same , i know the cap is different , so can not comfirm untill somebody try .

2016 wrx , picture from car101.com, the sunvisor look the same as legacy with the extension , but never see that in real life .

To help people to do the black interior conversion for the headliner and pillars ,i will explain the way i did it and hope other members will share their experience also .

so everybody know what it look like in the legacy gt .

i m a fan of the black interior headliner but be aware it can be a drastic change . your interior will never look the same !

so for start the complete list of interior parts .

these parts number are for the S402 , so all pillar are covered with sti grey fabric . i beleive you can get the pillar only black plastic but can not confirm ( will post parts number for ALL black pillar later on )

ho ,forget to mention i own a wagon !

the sti map light is plug and play for the sunroof , the other swicth is left blank . on the sti black map light the center section is not removable like the legacy . but you can still transfet the light , with a little work .

The problem I have to figure out is how to make the roof liner trim black. Since there is no sunroof version that exists. I guess either carpet dye solution or other.

a lot of headliner fabric are available .
