I am going to do a writeup on how to do this stuff....trust me. It will take a little while as the processes aren't shake and bake.
Here are some photos, tell me what I should do next (don't fill out the poll, its just the quesiton, and its open ended) and if you have any questions about the process post in my general discussion thread about this please. Or wait for the DIY tell all.
Enjoy!

Okay, who voted???!! :lol:
Any ideas, people? I'd really like to do something more with that vinyl. I don't think sun visors would look all that great nor would they be easy. Anything else?

Make a hat or a rambo bandana with it to wear while you drive your car. If you want to get all martha stewart on us you could embroider your name into it so not only will your headdress match the car but people driving by you will know your are Wiscon_mark!

shove it ryan....just shove it.
:x :lol:
I really wish I knew someone who does upholstery, cause I really want to get my seats redone. It would probably still be a lot cheaper for a professional to do it.

[Pwise2326]

:twisted: Yeah you're probably right. See what some JDM seats would cost ya, or get some WRX seats from a salvage yard...check out that F&S auto place, I'm sure you could find something for a decent price there. Get some better lateral support than the seats you have now. The STI black and blues would probably match your car just fine, maybe you could get some WRX seats with the black and blue threaded pattern...also another and probably cheaper option. Only thing to consider on a seat swap is that the WRX seats lowest height is equivalent to the highest seat height setting on your stockers...which is straight for me being 5'7", but if you are built like x-kern (6feet and change), you may be rubbing your head on the cieling...and forget about wearing a helmet on an autox day.

[Wiscon_Mark]

I'm 6'1" so....yeah. and my seat doesn't adjust height at all. It's really low, I have quite a lot of room around the head. I've looked at F&S. How hard would it be to get WRX seats into a legacy? do I need adapters? cause I would probably be willing to put a little money into it when I have the money.

[Tris_STi]

Nope. WRX fronts are bolt-in, as well as RS seats. (and interior!)

Word to the wise: WRX seats are WAAAAAY more comfy than the STi seats. The WRXs bolsters are better.

Now, if you find rare cars, or find a car that has cool seats you like, and have excellent bolstering --like my FC3S high-back seats, it's worth it to have someone do some cutting/drilling, welding, and a little custom railing fabwork to get them to fit --nothing's impossible in this part of modding realm.

And another thing:
Side impact airbags. Look into how you're going to deal with that before you make a full swap.

With your 3x2, make a cover for the back. The one that goes over your trunk area. Unless the cover you have already matches.

Don't tell me you have stock 2-DIN dash?! Damn, I spent a couple of days making mine from scratch!!! I'm now replacing leather (which is not leather, BTW) around shift knob, and thinking of doing some fibreglass work there... Something like 2-DIN you can see @

[Wiscon_Mark]

yeah, its a 2 din...if you'd have known, we could've just shipped one over...sorry. Too bad that deck really wasn't 2 din, it was too big, so I took it out.

Can I see a close up of your seats....cause they look blue/black.... :D

I want em!

Wanna Trade? :twisted:

[SubaruGenki]

Make a cover for that ugly ass tape deck? I cringe everytime i see a pic of that thing....

[sheepdog]

I used this stuff in my mustang to restore my dash -- it wasnt warped it was just faded and this worked great. Might be a good way to change the color scheme of your dash to offset the blue, I would reccomend black but you can get a variety of colors.

It's been gone for about a month...
I moved the eclipse to the bottom rack and put the CD holder to the top. I'm gonna turn the CD rack into a multipurpose plate though (custom clock, swtiches and a 120v outlet) soon enough. I got a power inverter for the car.
