I have put some things that have been missing on my car ever since i rebuilt it.
The rain gutters
the rear fender flares
these were scary since i drilled into the body!
And then i converted the center console from an 02-04 to and 05-07 wrx

it wasn't too bad... in my mind it was going to be easier than it really was but it still didnt cause me too much trouble... are you thinking about doing it? if so hit me up and i can get you a parts list of the things you will need... there are hidden things that you dont think will be an issue but come up during the swap!
Thanks man!!!
yeah well unfortunately all the pink was a little much as far as cop attention! it made the car stand out above all the rest but the cops noticed it to!
i had a cop even say once
Officer: you know why i pulled you over?
Me: no officer
Officer: Your exhaust is too loud! and quite frankly you stood out!
what a D**K

alright but ill post it on here that way anyone who may not have known what parts are needed and are interested in doing it can!
06-center console swap:
#1-12
#13 Quantity 2
#14
#17-22
#23 if you want the sti trim around the shifter boot
#24
#10
#13
#14
#20
and lastly something that i cannot seem to find anywhere... you need to have a 2005-2007 radio bracket!
the problems i ran into were...
-the stereo bracket
-the bracket to the center console... #14 second set! it is different for 05-07
-and i had an 05 sti centerconsole... so the hvac issue... i had #13 set 2 and it was out of an sti well since the STI auto HVAC just clips in and the manual HVAC screws in there are clips that go in and allow you to screw the Manual HVAC into those clips!
other than that it was just takin it all apart! that was the hardest part.
