What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

new to TW.

This is my whip. Mid wrap.

Hope you guys like it

 

Damn!!

 

I got them from Amazon from the supplier Subaru parts online I think. Plug and play. I’d advise to get the plastic trim tools also. Made the job a breeze.

 

Took me about 4hrs. The toughest and time consuming part was figuring out where to channel the wire. I had already installed the heating elements during the summer when I got my clazzio seat covers. I waited till it got cooler before I began the switches/wiring install. Make sure to remove the seats. On the driver side I ran the wiring under the carpet and along the under side of kick plate to the fuse box. On the passenger side, I ran the wiring alongside the seat airbag wiring to the center console under the QI charging pad. I pulled the radio out half way to remove and adjust the switches from the inside. This also allowed me to fish the seat heater switches and wiring. Fyi, I had to shave off some plastic from the QI switch so that it will fit in the empty slot that I moved it to. Removing the radio halfway is alot easier than to remove the whole bottom of the dashboard and center console which I've read it's time consuming and difficult to remove.

 

Finally upgraded to the Bilstien 6112/5160s. Didn't think I'd notice much of a difference in ride quality but they ride much nicer than stock especially out in the desert.
Eventually when the tires wear out I think I want to go with the Wildpeaks

 

Ok , thanks, seems like a PITA

Bolted up the TRD skid. Beefier for sure!

 

I hit a milestone today. I've enjoyed every mile and counting.

 

Yeah a little bit. I had my practice when I installed the OEM Audio Plus system several months back. They have a video on YouTube on how to remove the radio, seats and panels. It's only 15 mins long. That video pretty much walks you through the steps I took to wire the switches. Rostra also has a video that walks you through the install of the heater elements.

Makes it less PITA.

 

Thanks bud

 

Added a chrome TRD exhaust tip.

 

Gave her a wash and wax

 

@DubfromGA - You get any of the hurricane?

 

The 12v plug fits perfectly. Picked one up earlier today. Works great!

 

Painted Bumper caps flat black and TRD sport decal delete.

 

Some front end work

 

Looks like a transformer getting dental work.

 

So far 3" of rain, still pouring, and 15-20 mph winds. I'm in Newnan. It's going your way now. You'll probably get higher winds.

 

Added the brushed gold inlays
