Looks good! Are you tuning the UTEC yourself or do you have a tuner?

[wrxtuner2]

Right now I am just running the stage 2 map from TurboXS, once I get come gauges and a wideband I'm going to tune it myself with the help of a friend.

Tell me more. Did you do this? easy install? pics?

[wrxtuner2]

My friend helped with the headliner and I did the door cards myself. The door cards were pretty easy to do hardest part was getting them apart. I have a sunroof on my car so that made it a little more difficult. I ended up having some wrinkles in the fabric towards the visor area. I started in the rear and worked forward doing it the other way may help with the issue.

I used Sobo Premium Craft and Fabric Glue on both and used a sponge brush to spread the glue evenly. I bought the fabric and glue from Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts.

Good video on how to do the door cards

Awesome man. I've been planning to do my door cards and headliner in a black suede.

Sweet ride.

I had that option package too on my WRX.

Did you know you have:

Heated seats (I am sure you do, but they are rare for a WRX)
Sun Roof (obviously, but equally rear)
Windshield Wiper heaters?
Heated mirrors?
No inside 3rd brake light.

That is a sweet set of stuff IMHO..

[wrxtuner2]

Yeah I like having the premium package, the heated seats are great in the winter.

Here are some pictures of my grill.

Grill looks awesome. I want to take out that center pillar on mine. And put in some hella supertones behind.
I also really like the look of those door cards.

Sweet car! I need to clean up my headliner, how long did it take to remove?

[wrxtuner2]

Headliner took about 30 minutes to remove with help. Hardest part is actually getting it out of the car removing the passenger seat would probably make it easier, if i remember right i just slid it forward and laid it back as far as possible.
