Yes yes. I'd like to be able to budget for the inevitability of wanting wider wheels/tires to fill out the S402 fenders and need to make room to fit the rears. -
Their last 15% sale is what got me to order the swaintech coated version w/ UP combo. Can't speak to the performance yet since mine are still sitting in the house waiting for my JMP 18g build. They sure are pretty though. In other news, been in talks with Circuit Demon to do a little work on my post facelift JDM lights. Nothing crazy, going to have them swap the projectors for USDM lighting pattern, etch the lenses and add the demon eyes. Should be booking my spot in the next day or so.

Cut up and laid down one more sheet of sound deadening and finished installing the STI rear strut bar and McIntosh subwoofer bracket. I used the JDM strut bar interior piece and had to cut out a little bit of it to match the USDM interior piece. Also drilled holes in the rear quarter for easy access to adjust the Koni's and replaced the the left and right roof weatherstripping that covers the B pillars and sits atop the front and rear windows. The car is basically dead silent in the rear now with no squeaks or rattles. It makes the dash rattle stand out more now and I need to add that to the list of things to do. Unfortunately the initial drive couldn't be spirited to check the change from the strut bar since the wife wanted to get some ice cream and bring the pups along as well.

Got some time off from work and finally got some productive work done on the wagon. Installed the dual center console and swapped on a WRX lid with red stitching and began to take apart the entire rear interior of the car to install the McIntosh cargo area subwoofer bracket and the JDM STI rear strut bar. Became a little side tracked in the process and decided to clean the body and lay down some sound deadening I have laying around. I think I hit that nice medium of enough material to reduce noise while not adding too much weight. Although still debating if I want to add a little more. Need a few more grommets/screws to secure the sub-woofer bracket so ordered and waiting on those to finish that and then put the strut bar and interior plastics back in.

Good info to have. Do you have a picture of the floor bracket? Curious if it's something that could be easily fabricated. -

I'd be interested depending on the price. If you are keeping a list of those interested put me on it. -

Whoops, 52mm opening. Edited the listing. -
Yea, honestly don't even know what coolant I'm running from the last time the shop did a flush. I'm curious what exactly it is in the Subaru green coolant that could lead to the corrosion of the SS T. Probablywon't use either of the Subaru coolants come time for the next flush but would like to know so I can at least be aware of it. I'll need to do some research once work dies down.

I see you went with the SS T fitting, I went with the same as well. Do you run either the Subaru green/blue coolant or something else entirely? I haven't looked into it and probably will more whenever I install mine but thought it was interesting on Dom's website the plastic fitting is recommended for the green coolant and the SS one for the blue coolant due to potential corrosion issues.

DoctorDaveLGT replied to vnhqle's topic in Want to buy
For what it's worth, I had purchased a set from the Yahoo Japan auctions and if I remember correctly shipping was about $200 to get them to Indiana via one of the slower options. All in I think I was a hair over $400. -
Up for sale is a complete set of JDM/OEM spats/strakes in Regal Blue Pearl. Overall these are in great condition with some slight scraping on the underside of the strakes. I will not separate so please do not ask as I won't respond. They fit both sedan and wagon. Here is a link to an older for sale thread with multiple pic's of how they'll look on the car: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/ne-full-set-6-jdm-spats-strakes-splash-guards-tsm-263632.html Price: $OLD

Gave the big girl a "touchless" wash before going into work yesterday. Cleans up pretty good for just soap and water. Also installed LED bulbs for the vanity's in the sunvisor, fixed a spring that came loose in the upper driver's seat and swapped out my owner's manual cover for a fancy JDM STI red stitched alcantara one I picked up from the auctions.

I've had mine on for about a year now. I thought there was less wind noise when I put them on. Could have been a placebo effect though.
