Light bar puts out a good amount of light, the currant orange/amber Lamin-x film on it is not as bright as the yellow film was.
The ditch lights on the hood are new and have 2 light settings. The one in the above pic just has the amber backlights on, mainly for looks. Ill drive with them on at night just for people to see me easier on the road and not merge into me or soemthing dumb. They also have a pure white light output like a flood beam, that makes a huge difference on seeing off to the sides of the car at night.

Ive got a USB cable that I ran under the dash, so power is no problem

Yes... cracks on cracks lol. When I finally think about replacing it, i get smacked by a rock or something and go "well glad i didnt replace it" lol.
Combination of rocks getting kicked up when i was commuting everyday and off road. They have been there for a couple years haha

I have my Greddy in that spot, so couldn't put phone there lol. I meant, is it a wireless charger. I picked one up that does wireless charging and rotates vertical or horizontal, but the clamping isn't always great.

Greddy:

I would like a wireless charging that mounts on my ac but prices I see online are too expensive so I think I''ll also just consire the regular mounts and charge my phone with cable.

You still need a cable to go to the charger, so it isn't much different. I bought one that does wireless charging and clips to the vent and it works fine, but it is also in the way.

Amazon Amazon

This one is on sale. Brand is well known, but I have not tried it. At that price, I might try one out

Hydro or actual CF? Looks good. I got CF overlays for the mirrors on the STI. I also finally found a decent looking manufacturer for alcantara parts and ordered a black/red stitch shift boot and e-brake boot. Already had the sun visors, armrest and cluster shroud and then JPM went out of business.

@stupidchicken03 thanks for the detailed descriptions and photos.
I was always curious, folks on Crosstrek with spare wheel outside, what they use that extra trunk space for? Is it even usable?

@alexindigo thank you.

Not sure how far you made it through my thread, but I put an air compressor, tools, and recovery gear in where my spare tire was.
