08+ WRX will use 2004 STI fronts and 2008+ rears re-drilled; just the same as this car. All Subarus now have the STI 190mm parking brake so there's no need for conversion rotors (hence 2008 STI re-drilled rotors).

Anyone planning to a DIY for the stainless steel clutch line? If no one else does I may end up having to do it but I am certainly not the best person for this. Not even top 100.
I would love it if you put one together.

Want to remove the dash speaker grill.

Tried looking up a DIY for this (including this forums DIY library) but cant seem to find anything regarding removing the dash speaker grill.

I can't seem to remove it without forcefully wedging a flathead in there and scratching the dash trim. There is no space between the grill and the dash. There does seem to be enough space between the pillar but positioning a tool in there seems awkward.

Do i need a special tool or can someone advise a simple technique for

Can anyone post a DYI for the CUSCO Oil Catch Can. It would seem the Instruction Manual is incomplete.
