Since the Tiburon console was originally held in with screws and didn't have any clips in front, I had to improvise. As serendipity would have it, the screw holes sat right against the structural bar at the front of the roof. Using a drill bit with a depth stop on it (if you don't have one of those, wrapping a bunch of tape around the bit at the desired position is fine) made two holes slightly smaller than a couple of screws I had in my trusty Bucket O' Screws™. That did the trick!
Now my sunglasses have a home!
The fit is ALMOST perfect, except the very tips of the back corners have the tiniest of gaps between the plastic and the headliner. Since everything's black up there you can hardly notice it unless you feel it, though.
For the lights, it just so happened that the connector from the Tiburon and the connector for the BRZ's dome light use the same size pins. I checked which wires did what using a 9V battery and seeing if lights came on, de-pinned the connector on the BRZ and stuck the pins in the corresponding locations on the Tiburon connector. Plugged that in and I had light!
Remember those switch blanks? I bet you thought I would never get around to them, didn't ya?
FEAR NOT!
After trying and failing miserably to modify them, I used an awesome
free online CAD program to model up some replacements that a friend was kind enough to 3D printed for me. One is the new home for the bluetooth mic and the other is a rocker that I will eventually use for garage door buttons.
I disassembled the bluetooth mic and removed the pins from the connector so I could thread it through the hole where, presumably, the sunroof button wires would have gone.
Pro Tip: TAKE PICTURES WHEN REMOVING PINS FROM CONNECTORS! I though "It's just three wires, how hard could it be to remember?" Well guess what, I forgot. I tried matching the wire colors up to the wires on the harness and for some unholy reason Subaru decided to make those not match up (the pink and black wires are switched between the harness and the mic). I was able to find a picture online of the correct pinout and once I corrected it the mic worked just fine.
The rubber bit around the mic fits PERFECTLY inside the new blank. I didn't measure it before doing the 3D model, it just worked out that way. The mic amplifier board also fits nicely in a gap at the back. Also a happy accident.
Here's the garage door button rocker. While the mic blank fit perfectly this one will need a little bit of revision so it will actually rock. Also, it didn't print quite like I hoped it would.
And here's the final-ish result (I sanded down and painted the blank... I might clean up and paint the whole console in the future so everything is all matchy-matchy).
