I don't want red. I am trying to get rid of all the exterior colours that are not green, black or bronze. No red, amber or chrome allowed.

Ya reckon that will be enough?

No, "old school" speed-o-meters had a cable that ran from the transmission to the speed-o-meter head.

What year is this? Why am I still here at home?

My '17 AT does have a gear indicator on the dash and it seemed to work fine when I took it out today for the first time with the 4.30s. I didn't notice any issues with the swap and it did exactly what I installed it to do, which was to improve pick up after a low throttle shift and up my highway cruise rpm slightly. It really compliments the e-force by bringing up the engine rpm out of the bog range.

Yeah, I remember my old school days of swapping gears in fox mustangs back in the early 90's and messing around with those stupid speedo cable gears. Never could get them to seal up trans fluid once taken apart. Went through more gear sets and transmissions in those days than I can count. Split a couple blocks in half too pushing lots of boost. My 86 takes me back to those days being so fun and rewarding to modify.

How about fluorescent, metallic, lime green?

Seriously, think about it - set your car off from the rest -

Then all you would need is a brush and paint.

It was cheaper for me to order directly from the distributor over Amazon.

Don’t fool yourself. You have half Subaru, half Toyota car. lol

K fine, you can put this in there. It’s a direct bolt on


Joke a side, if you gonna repaint it to different color, you can go to Rock Auto & get these in blank (no paint) for dirty cheap. Just look up ‘07 Subaru Impreza 2.5L turbo section. Nugeon sell em blank iirc

Half Toyota? Bet those Toyota badges have Subaru stamped underneath.

Yeah it’s everywhere! Grill mesh is “T” mesh. Even some of BRZ interior uses that design... til Subaru found out what it means then they took it off & put fake cf over it lol

Nope, they only have red, silver & blank. Recommend, getting bland & get it painted in green you want. I have seen some ppl do it & looks hella nice! I was going to do red without Subaru on it... but found a deal that I had to get, so went w that route

If painting I will just paint the calipers. Keep the winter gunk from building up in a cover.

Don’t they make caliper designed paint? Or it’s same damn thing?

I suspect high heat paint isn't quite good enough. But if he's not racing then maybe
