Now, as I work at an Acura dealership I was able to do the repair myself in about an hour and a half (thank The Lord for the ease of installing that rack!). A Toyota dealership near my dealership actually uses our body shop so we get employee discounts for Toyota parts. Lucky me. Repair cost 500 bucks total. Phew.
Well I get back in the car and the TPMS light is on, the abs light is on, the air bag light is on, the light that flashes when traction control senses the car is slipping is on solid. My cruise control doesn't work and my horn doesn't work.
TPMS may have been damaged when I hit the curb or when transferring to new wheels..yeah at the moment I'm rocking two factory wheels on the drivers side and a staggered 8" and 9" setup on the passenger side.
Other than that, all the other lights and issues are bugging me. I can't figure it out. Steering position sensor? The car drives straight when the wheel is straight..meaning it's lined up correctly. But why wouldn't my horn work and why would my airbag light be on? I'm so confused. Any help would be appreciated!

If you have messed with steering rack steering sensor may need to be re alligned/adjusted as per service manual and using Techstream software.
You may have also damaged ABS wheel sensor or is not been plugged back in when repairs done.
airbag light is a worry possibly something triggered or dislodged in airbag circuit or crash sensor circuit.
Horn not working is weird.
cruise control will not work if CEL light is up for wheel/speed sensors/abs or rear 02 sensor faults.
try a quick and dirty reset, remove battery cable for a minute to reset control units in car (will reset radio ect as well though).
If all the lights come back on its likely a toyota/subaru visit unless you can get hold of service manual and techstream and work you way through it.
