It goes away. The smell is actually from the glue they use. No big deal.

Debadged "Subaru"

What bracket do you need for the pioneer 8500 for it to fit right? This is the headunit im going buy.

Washed mine as well and vacuumed the inside. Think I'll head over to the local wheel place tomorrow and see what they have.

Consider a set of BBS CS-5 wheels. They would look rad on your WRB car.

Or a Compomotive TH2-1780.

It came with the unit, I believe. I bought it second-hand from a member on here. We had to dremmel the edges of the corners because the bracket won't fit inside the surround. THEN we had to dremmel some of the backing so that we could clamp the trim surround the unit all the way, otherwise the bracket was interfering. It's still not perfect... Soon I'll be getting the black interior pieces, so I will worry about it then.

I've been wanting this unit for over two years now, since I had my 2011 WRX. I like it a lot, but can't get the iPod USB to play sound and I discovered my passenger side aftermarket MB Quart speaker is torn, so all is not well at the moment.

I didn't do this but I parked my car on the drive way for about an hour and this happened, it's completely clear above where I parked. I couldn't find any sign of evidence in the ground either.. If this is vandalism I'm worried for my car.

Well, I am a couple of days late, but I saw my GBS Limited for the last time for a bit. She will be taking a relaxing cruise from Newark, NJ to Felixstowe, UK. In about 1-2 months we will be enjoying the UK country side with my wife in the passenger seat. UK/Europe, here we come.

Driven my fair share in the UK in my life, (Used to live in Belgium)
Besides driving on the wrong side of the road, if you are not in a UK vehicle,
You will have a tough time over taking (Passing) and looking "Ahead" of you in a USA or European Car. Be careful out here...
The UK also has a lot of speed cams hidden and they will send the bill to your home.
If your car is in transit there you might be lucky.
Have fun there, and let us know the price of a gallon of gas
People here never believe me when I tell them I use to pay 3 times more...

Any golf courses around where you live? Looks like it got hit by a spherical projectile of some sort, does it not?

No golf courses at all near me. I would've thought it's some sort of ball that hit it but I couldn't find anything around the area, it could've bounced somewhere further. I'm just glad it didn't hit my hood or anything, avoided body work.. Rather get a window replaced than do body work. It's probably some kids hitting some golf balls or throwing stuff as high as they can or something.
