    It's the Rocker Switch from AccuAir. You can't remove the arrows.

    This^^. I would look into different paddle switches to keep a clean look. Other than that it looks great.

    Thanks! I've ordered a set of 18 x 9.5 Rota T2R Hyperblacks for the time being (they should be here today/tomorrow), but I've got my eye's on a set of Rotiform 3pc super concave NUE's somewhere down the road Maybe next year sometime... Oh, and for tires I'll be stretchin on 215x40's.

    can't wait to see how this turns out! please don't be like others and tuck 8 inch wide wheels, put some real wheels under there!
    Thanks a lot man! I've got a couple other exterior mods in line to try and give the wagon a little bit more of an aggressive look, as well as some interior mods to add to the feel of the car. I'll be sure to update the thread with how those go and see what you think! Don't worry, the wheels will be 9.5's

    Day 2 - A bit more Management

    Day 2 started with finding a good place for the AccuAir manifold and ECU. We decided on this positioning, which leaves ample room for sensors to come off the back of the manifold and provides a nice straight path for the air lines to avoid any tight bends.



    I decided to go with the rocker switch system, I like the simplicity and the ability to tuck the button where I want, rather than have an extra device (i.e. touch pad) somewhere in the car. The rocker switch sits perfectly in one of the OEM slots located to the left of the steering wheel. I decided against installing the rocker switch where seat heater switches would go, as I feared one day I may accidently bump it with a coffee cup or a curious/unaware passenger may hit it and result in massive smashing on the highway. This location is out of the way of those risks but also easily accessible! I'm diggin the OEM Plus look.



    I ran the wiring harness for the rocker switch and 12volt wire along the driver side inside the paneling, I plan on using the passenger side for the front air lines and sensor arm lines. It is quite spacious in there if you move a couple wires around!



    With only a small notch in the styrofoam in the trunk both wires tucked in there real nice!


    The ECU and manifold aren't bolted down yet in this picture, but here is where we left off at the end of Day 2. Next up is a bit more wiring, then getting started on air lines!

    Sub'd. I like the fact that the only two bagged Subies (that i'm aware of) will be parked in the same parking lot next to one another
