I also just remembered that I have the OEM trunk mat and OEM Subaru sun shade for the windshield. I'm convinced the people who had issues with their dashes warping and steering wheels peeling suffered from heat or UVA from sunlight damaging the interior, and that sun shade has kept mine pristine. The trunk mat also helps keep things from sliding around (as much).

It is a strange spot, those without heated seats need something to put there or else it is this very odd spot in the interior.
I also got a high quality fitted sun visor, been using it every time it is parked in the sun which use to be a lot. My dash has rarely seen the sun while parked and I have a tad of issues with that rubber/plastic bit covering the dash. It is coming up, I think it is just from cheap glue and cab temps. (my old 80s 3 series had back cracking all along the dash from sun damage) so I was super careful about keeping it in the shade but still the rubber stuff came up a bit so it must be from over all temperatures in the cab causing the glue to let loose.
Luckily now my FRS now is either in a covered parking lot at work or in my closed garage. I'm actually debating if I should remove my front bumper to replace my headlights (I have a almost new spare set) or just restore my current ones again. My headlights took the most beating from the sun and have gotten kind of cloudy. So far Im considering the lazy way and just restoring them while on the car, dont want to get that bumper sag from just replacing slightly cloudy headlights.
