Yup! Well actually, I've had the parts sitting in the trunk for a couple of months now. But I can't even describe how difficult it was for me to get them. The only pieces left that I need to get are the floor boards but shipping is so expensive! Almost as much as the rear seats themselves. I got the rear side trims almost right after I got the seats, but for a while I was missing the reclining brackets/mechanism and the springs that pull the seats up when you press on the recline button. I probably waited almost 3 months with constant perusing of yahoo auctions to find those parts. It's almost as difficult as sourcing out the EDM LHD console, partly because part numbers were hard to find and vague. On a side note, I test fitted the JDM rear side panels and it seems like the drivers side is a really snug fit. I was comparing it with the USDM one and it looks like the area that protrudes in the wheel well area is shorter than the USDM causing it not to sit flush. I wonder if the 2005 USDM chassis is different. How did yours fit like?

thanks legacybt. It has been really exciting building this car. I almost regret not posting up a bulld as soon as i got the car. I've had to be really patient in acquiring all the parts that i've wanted.

Thanks WRX USA! I wonder if the pre-facelift has the same wiring. Im gonna try to work on this today as well as the power folding mirrors and the HID leveling system.

Do you have these still available? I was curious if it retains the JDM parking light being separate from the turn signal unlike our USDM where its combined.

Last August I began really learning about Yahoo Auctions and Crooober. While browsing crooober I stumbled upon some STI seats. I first saw them on valleylegacy's build and then on WRXUSA. To my luck, they are black inserts and also red stitching to match the rear seats. I actually can't thank enough the people that have shared all the wonderful things that can be done to the legacy.

While trying to imagine all the things I needed for an all black conversion, I thought that i would start with things that I've always dreamt of doing on the sedan. Flat-bottom steering wheel, Doube-DIN upgrade and rare cubby STI triple gauge pack made from Defi. One thing to note is the JDM triple-gauge pack angles to the right side as some of you may know. I don't know how but somehow I mustered up the courage to take it apart to see if I could flip it someway. I'll be posting a write-up on how to do it but lets just say that i'm thankful for Japanese engineering.

This tan folding seat had me in a frenzy. I can be a bit OCD at times but I believe it was the hunt for a rear black seat that got me so involved with the wagon. After waiting patiently and some $$$, I was able to source a black folding seat. To make it even better, it was the reclinable perforated alcantara inserts with red stitching from the JDM tuned by STI. The bad: I was now addicted. After being exposed to all the JDM bits, I became obsessed with getting everything to match. How fortunate for this wagon.

I've come to learn with the legacy that sometimes you can't always get what you want right away. For the wagon, this was the beige interior. Even worse, it didn't age well and it was badly worn. The solution: Strip my DGM Sedan of its black leather interior and swap everything. Even then, it was far from good because the main issue of swapping from sedan to wagon: the upper rear folding seat. It stayed tan.

Hey Everyone! I've been a long time lurker here and I figured now is a better time to actually document my build that I've dubbed "Project LGT Re-mastered" This wagon is actually my 2nd Legacy, my first one being an AT Sedan. Background: I first purchased my 1st Legacy in January of 2015. It was a 2007 DGM 5EAT Limited. I bought it from a mom/pop dealership out in VA. My intent was to use it as a DD since I wanted to keep the mileage on my BRZ somewhat low. I bought it cheap ($3500) for the main reason that the dealership said it needed a new turbo. I didn't know much about the Legacy back then, but long and behold, instead of a blown turbo, it was actually a burnt exhaust valve, cylinder 4. Go figure. Long story short, I learned almost everything I know about the Legacy on that sedan. From wiring, to suspension tuning. I've done the head gasket twice in-car (first one failed because I reused the headbolts). The previous owner actually modded the car somewhat decently. He upgraded the turbo to the BNR 16G, Perrin intercooler, 750cc injectors, HexMods F1' 5EAT Valve Body and other supporting mods. After moving to California for school, I got the car re-tuned for 91-pump gas and made 273 at the wheels. Bad news struck last year May 2018. I got involved in 4 car accident and the sedan was deemed total. Now: By some struck of luck, while browsing craigslist, I came upon a 2005 SWP 5MT Wagon. At that time, it had been listed for at least 30 days. I called the guy and he said it was available. I made a deposit immediately. 2 Weeks passed by and I took it home. Here she is along with some pics of the sedan.

Just wanted to share some information. I've been a big time lurker here on the forums doing my own (undocumented) JDM wagon build. I recently did the JDM black interior conversion and after doing it, madrig's way is the best. I was recently in Japan this past winter and I was lucky enough to be able to communicate to the dealer that I was looking to buy the black SRS caps madrig mentioned in his thread. After a 30min google translate conversation with him, he ordered them for me. mardrig already had the part numbers for the B pillar cap, and now i'd like to share the part numbers for the C pillar since i haven't seen it posted here. Black SRS C Pillar Cap: LH - 94067AG130JC/ RH - 94076AG120JC But since you already have the TBSTI plastic parts, I can show you what i did to make mines fit originally. I'm deciding to do it madrig's way because i'd like to retain the safety of the car just in case the airbag did deploy. The JDM TBSTI trim is held on with one green clip on top. Actually, if you cut the plastic airbag bracket, the USDM B pillar has the hole to mount the JDM trim right above the where the USDM pillar bolts into. I think the main issue with this is that in the event of a collision, if the side airbags deploy, the TBSTI trim might get un-clipped and possibly hit someone in the head hence why the USDM one is bolted in place and which is why I'm redoing my interior and just wrapping the old tan pieces but using the JDM black SRS caps. Hope i was of some help to you guys.

I have some spare black trim pieces from the JDM tuned by STI version if/when you get around to that black interior conversion. Feel free to hit me up.
