Yep, inspected even myself after two Suby Master's looked it over themselves. Heck, I have even half joked about having Gary @ Mann or Adam and Noah @ LIC look at it for giggles. Check out my replies as well as the others in subaruforester.org , there's people with far worse and they have no leaks. It literally is a consumption issue, likely the light 0w oil and the lower spring rate on the piston rings allowing blow-by that gets roasted and torched away on it's way out the back.

Oh, and Bobby, you got a "Penins" on your rear window.

I did this over the weekend to a broken armrest extension. Curves were too heavy, so the corners didn't come out, but then I've never wrapped anything curved either. I do have a heat gun, but this stuff is somewhat fragile. The top came out decent, but the corners are crap, but it was just an experiment to see how it even looked. I picked up a decent amount of wrap from 02RS25

Carbon Wrap?

Yes. It was a bit of work to get it clean after pulling the vinyl off, but I got it completely clean. Now just need to figure something unique to cover it with. Someone made a real CF covered one, but they were pretty expensive and they don't make them anymore.

04, so my interior is all black. Covering in black Alcantara sounds interesting though.

Alcantara would look nice but even with the black door cards you would prolly want to do them as well because it might look a bit odd just with the console alcantara

I finally got around to setting up the AIM meter. Aside from the normal telemetry stuff like oil pressure, oil temp, oxygen, water temp, the CAN series on the BRZ/FRS also picks up steering angle, gas pressure (in the vid I said there isn't TPS but I now found it ) and brake pressure (on the software data it will also show percentage distributed which will be good for alignments and proportioning valve).
