How hard was it? Plug N Play kind of thing?

Yeah it sprung into mind a couple hours after I replied. That's probably not feasible since I think the system is cycled via steering wheel controls? I'm not exactly worried about where I could put the gauge in software... I have no use for the boost gauge on the head unit... it's literally boost gauge #3.

Our cars don't have the plug on the chassis side, at least that I could find (I spent a long time looking). That didn't make it hard though. I just tapped the OEM DRL power/ground on the driver side headlight, works perfectly. They give you a nice harness to plug into the lights themselves, and zip ties/mounts to run the harness along the body. So aside from having to tap the headlight wiring, install is decently clean and relatively easy. If one was handy with wiring, the whole thing could be done in an hour.

Attached an image of the finished, working product. I also did the magnetic license plate mod while I had the bumper off.

In pix, the LED looks like the color temp is off, but really it's the way the light reflects off the winglet in the bumper and illuminates the pearl clear coat that creates a blueish optical illusion.

Yeah - sorry - I didn't think about the steering wheel controls - definitely a problem.

Installed Perrin intake tube, Perrin lightweight crank pulley, and the Invidia catless front pipe. The car definitely feels more alive especially after the pulley. Exhaust is now audible and sounds fairly good for having the stock cat-back and manifold. Also MPG went up..

Starting small and working up. OFT, Invidia overpipe, and the Invidia N1 cat-back will be next.

Some new 18" Enkei rims with Hankook rubber.

johan · 11-21-2016, 01:04 PM

Busy weekend, installed STi front lip, LED interior lights, sound deadening in doors (CLD/CCF/MLV/Thinsulate), and did some gloss black vinyl wrapping on center stack / door handles. I know the gloss black around the HU on the '17s has been controversial, I think this ties it all together nicely. I'd ultimately like to wrap the shifter surround and air vents, but I'm out of vinyl.

Sorry for the potato quality photos.
