Mmmm...marginal. I wouldn't put anything bigger than 12 oz. in it (probably wouldn't fit anyway). I just stuck an upside down spray paint cap in it to throw spare change in...

You don't have to pull it out, but it will slide one way or the other a little and have to be repositioned.

Yeah. Not as sturdy. Lame.

Sure!

You only get the core, though. So you'll have to transfer the silver trim, control buttons and airbag over. But it was easier than I thought. Only took me a little over an hour.

I’ve had them strip 10/20 of my lugs. Every time I rotate my wheels I see the new gold lugs and it reminds me of gold teeth lol.

Hmmm, Now that would make an interesting armrest. Putting it on the driver-side then adding a cushion to the top. Sort of like a black mouse wrist support gel.

something like this.

I have been eyeing these for a while... the exchange rate is just too brutal right now to pull the trigger.

Curious to know how it holds up over time compared to the stock one.

Looks awesome, thanks for the pic

Same here.

Starting to think once my wheels/tires are here this month the next mod I'll be saving up for is this.

I honestly hate the 2017 wheel, and I don't know why Subaru/Toyota thought they should switch from the texture on the earlier MY.

I have a question on releasing clutches. I release slowly for 2nd and 3rd, bit faster for 4, 5, and 6. However, I always bring clutch to biting point for all gears with little gas and release completely. Am I doing right? Some guys told me that 4, 5, and 6, I don't have to hold at biting point just release it fast (not dumping). Thanks.

You’re doing it wrong. It’s more to do with properly synchronizing clutch/throttle inputs and less to do with how quickly you release the clutch pedal. The longer that you hold the clutch pedal, the more revs drop and the more you’ll need to apply the throttle to have a smooth shift. The “biting point” isn’t even something that should be felt except when starting from a standstill. Don’t overthink things, it will be second nature after a few months of driving.
