Just bought a Full Navi dropout kit from a 2008 Spec-B from Pmp On Facebook for $150 Shipped, I know aftermarket head unit would be better but always loved the Factory GPS look and dig the sub menu's/features!
Also bought a super nice 08-09 Leather wheel, and airbag cover to sell! Debating on getting paddles and Steering wheel audio control panel and retrofitting all of that in, but not 100% yet though but would be cake topper with the rest of my Facelift dash
Also Got some JDM Upper door Tweeters!

Updatesss
First started off with a Facelift JDM mirror swap, these popped up already 37J SWP White and had to snag. Facelift JDM mirrors with the signals, Heated elements, Power-folding and being Non-Base model they also have bigger mirror glass!
2.5i have the turn signals prewired to the door harness, so I grabbed up some OBXT/GT Door harness's and then added two wires for the power-folding part and added my plugs in for the HK sound system I retrofitted in the past.
mirrors side by side
I ended up raiding my stash and used 2.5i base model mirror connectors as the plugs for the Power-folding side of the harness to keep things clean and OEM. and I just depinned both plugs and pinned in the two wires for it
All done! (wiring power-folding bits tomorrow to the switch)
Needed new rear brakes, Went for some Centric Rotors (coated hats that won't look like poop in 3 months.) and EBC Yellow pads I snagged super cheap off a dude that ordered the wrong pads for his 2.5GT.
Also took the time to grease up the sway bar, and check CV boots, etc..
also have pretty much all the piece for a Mini H1 Bi-Xenon retrofit, other than one headlight splitter (why aren't these sold in pairs like everything else for headlights?)
doing the 316mm x 30mm 05+ GT Front brake conversion super soon as well, just need rotors for that.

EBC Yellows feel amazing but do have a little brake noise coming to a stop (I like it, but some might not) , and the Convex JDM glass on the LHD side is awesome.
Speaking of paint code things.. Decided to mount up these Spats I've had forever. these are JDM 36J as you can tell, Not going to use all the double-sided tape since they will be getting pulled off at some point to be matched.

This build deserves more attention. Great upgrades, keep us posted .
STI Front bar
JDM paddle shifters (need to trim the bezel a hair more and wire them in. but did that first leap of cutting to install them)
B-Sport badges (more a less spec-B but N/A, kinda..)
STI Option Pedals & Weathertech floor mats
eBay LED Panels
the dome light is the LG dank
the bad news...Garnish came busted! we'll see what USPS/EMS will do, but this stinks

Tyler, do the flappy paddles work? I'm considering selling my Outback H6 and getting a Legacy 2.0R (some power as your 2.5i) with the autobox, but would like some flappy paddles added to the car . Thanks

Picked up some Carbon eyelids, I need to reclear them and fix the lights with a clear coat too so they stop getting UV damaged (thanks Mysubie from the lids)
Junkyard got a 3.0R limited sadly, big shame. I stripped out the Navi Plugs, Bezel, etc I needed to start working on this swap. I'll work on it over winter.
Antenna in
It's alive!
I also got a limited wheel, I need to get a facelift clock spring installed. I want to make a Plug n Play adapter, and install SWC audio controls

Getting the itch to NA-T this, between me and my friends we've got a lot of the pieces to make it happen
planning to install my old Light blue 440cc injectors from my 205 on the 253 and tune for 93 or E85 with my stock NA 253 has a decent compression ratio so might pickup some power for no real-world cost out of pocket and go from there

Altough I like the nature from an N/A engine, I can understand you'd consider this route...
By any chance would you be interested in a facelift EUDM dash and center console? I might have one for sale... You'd loose the wood-trim tough...

Tyler, drop me a pm if you'd like to make an offer for the whole lot. The only thing that will be more difficult to obtain, is the automatic stick surround.
Don't forget you'll loose the wood-trim look, since they have a different shape on the EUDM facelift.
this is from earlier in the year
Installed a new rear wheel bearing
front ball joints
New AC Bearing
Found a Thule roof rack at the junkyard for $30!
Moved across country, took me 2400+ miles
Found a scooped hood

JDM headlights and found some white fog light bezels (the passenger side has since fallen off so back to the black ones.. eye rolls)
ended up getting a XAV-ax210 sony radio (second hand) that does car play and android auto. it's fantastic. just hooked up the USB port and microphone so all that is working. I need to find a deal on the adapter box to add SWC to my steering wheel
since I'm taking my sweet time on the Navi wiring, I've been wanting to get a clock pod relocation for a while to have my MPG stats. so had an STL file printed up and relocated it. worked perfectly. super happy how it turned out
my GF got me a KAKIMOTO intake chamber for xmas, but then couldn't wait to give it to me. it adds more sound then I could have imagined with a stock airbox. I'll try to do a video soon
guy on Facebook market place was giving away his sub box creation he was making for his h6 OB, IIRC he said he spent 30+ some hours building it. it needs a little more work but overall its there he has sold his car before getting it done and didnt want to throw it away

my tires almost had blow out, so was rushed into getting these STI enkei wheels on one day. picked up a set of 3 on FBMP and found a 4th on a Subaru breaker online. they look fantastic on car and I'm only in them like 250 after selling my old wheels
got some H&R springs that look like new off CL, was hoping to level my car out with these. H&R's are def better then the Epic springs for wagons and just ride better overall. but wasnt enough. so had to swap out my 3/8 spacer for 1" rear lift. this wouldnt be issue but I have spec b shocks
Got an AVO rear sway bar at the junkyard. handles way better now with this and the Audi endlinks
Did a bunch of electrical projects
Wired Heated seats
wired JDM head light levelers
wired JDM Power folding mirrors
wired cruise control and wired wheel for Steering wheel audio controls. I need to get a control box now for the Radio
repaired the wiring in the rear hatch, my rear wiper stopped working and who knows what else due to 5 wires
Installed an amazon backup camera (looks OEM just like I wanted)
Installed Skar Audio TX65C's in the front (JDM alpine rings) and wired in JDM upper door tweeters
Installed Skar Audio TX65 coaxials in rear with 3D printed spacer

sold the Thule rack and put on 05-09 outback cross rails I got for free. isn't pretty but isn't loud air rushing over the car now. much better to live with
