Just checked out an 04. It looks like the center console from a 2002 - 2004 is the same.

Looks good. Can a 12vdc outlet be installed? Can a blank be made? 05 Legacy GT?

These already come blank. The panel allows roughly 2.875" x 6.125" of available space to put whatever you want into it.

I'm not familiar with the 05 Legacy GT interior. Can you post a picture?

What is within the flip down door? Aux port, cig lighter?

From the looks of it, the height might not be large enough for a gauge.
