    This is really late, but I've got a pic of the JPM goodies Alex and Joe made for me.

    One off piece by JPM. They're undecided if they want to start making these.

    It's still 2 pieces and fits perfectly. I was a little apprehensive about it, then I put it in. I'm digging it.

    I agree. Good work on JPM's part but it shows how flat and boring subaru/toyota designed the dash

    Pretty safe to say that I'll never approach this car for fear of previous circle jerks.

    Well now that we've trashed Matt's thread and I'm sure he has PM'd himself complaining about it, let's move on to debating about wrapping the dash.

    MEH. To me, alcantara is an accent piece, not the entire dash. Not my cup of tea.

    It'll still be flat and boring. The factory material is nice already.

    Looks good. I don't care for the rivets though. Would look better without them imo.

    Hmmmm, i'm a sucker for black wheels on white. I wish the bolts/nuts detail could be a dark gunmetal or something.

    I'm looking at a set like that for the legacy. I'm still researching the fitment. I'm thinking maybe gold with polished lip.

    There should only be bolts if they are truly multi piece wheels.

    The power increase wasn't as impressive as I thought, but it sure does sound sexy.

    It's not about the power increase. It was about the responsiveness and the flat power curve.

    Straight 93 octane tune no alky, no intercooler in hot swampy weather vs a winter stock dyno pull
    [​IMG]

    E85 tune
    [​IMG]

    I've ridden in one and while it's not blindly fast, the car responds PERFECT. It's all you could ask for in a DD car.

    Get it intercooled and bigger pulley and e85 should net near 300.
