The install was plug and play.

I think the lows were H11 and fogs 9006, but check the manual to be sure. Take note of the bulb types and get matching HID kits. I got mine from AutoHeadquarters.

here is the post for more info...

AutoHQ Now Has LeDs and HIDs thread

If you want to seal the caps on the back of the H11 housing, you need a 25mm drill bit or equivalent.

How much was teh boost gauge? the salesman at the dealer said he could get parts at cost.

Like Lacey's, mine is a 5 door WRX (wagon), and I'm from San Juan, PR. I call it The Raptor.

Mods:

Tint windows (legal front, darker rears/back, visor)
Tanabe Strut Bar
STI shifter
Momo Combat EVO ****
All weather mats
Custom exhaust tip extension
Cheap rubber lip
235/45 G-Force Sport

Coming soon:

Momo e-brake handle
Performance Creations mini-mud-flaps
Side mouldings

Future:

Poly lip
Cobb's AP
Downpipe
Hushpower muffler
Intake
Poly bushings
Slotted rotors/ceramic pads

There you can see the finished tip extension and the difference between front and back tinted windows. I'm planning on the dark grey side mouldings to match wheels, but I'm not decided yet. What do you think?

I'm looking for help on uninstalling the shifter and e-brake panels to install **** and handle. Pics or instructions would be nice.

Well, AllData included the 2008 and 09 WRX so I could see the info I needed.

Installed my Momo Combat EVO shifter using a the next smaller fitting bushing. It wasn't that small, which provided a screw-on type of installation, like it was OEM.

Next, I thought I would need some adapter to get the boot to stay up, but I just forced it up and used an old metal clip to put some pressure on the plastic cap under the boot.

What's very cool is that the Momo stitch almos matches the WRX boot, so it looks almost OEM.

The e-brake handle is more difficult because the leather is too small. I don't wanna break that boot, so I'm looking at someway to slide it or maybe stitch some elastic under it so it will just stretch and fit.

Yesterday I got the 235/45 G-Force Sport tires. First I was a bit concerned because the tire tech said there could be a problem if not using spacers. This because of tight spaces inside, like from the rear shock body cover and front struts.

Happily I can say there was no problem, the slight increase in width and height brought no problem at all and now I think it looks better and it's safer for the wheels. From the rear there is very little sticking out of the fender's lower corner and almost nothing from the front. Now I can measure and install the mud flaps.
