No problem man! I enjoy working on stuff like that... even with the 31 cuts I just counted on my hands... (see they're not countless!).
Actually, all 31 cuts added up[ are still not as bad as that 1 your got on yer finger... ow!
I was thinking about the A-pillar issues. Autometer is supposed to release an instrument cluster bezel soon... well soon's relative, it was supposed to be out a year ago... Anyway, the bezel fits around the existing instruments adding 2 pods on either side for gauges. If that part ever comes out, it'd be a nice alternative to the A-pillar pod that doesn't quite fit. You'd have to order a new a-pillar trim piece. I ordered one from SubieGal on NASIOC... it was about $20 shipped.
Man, what's up with Subaru making two different sized a-pillars? Any why doesn't Autometer make a pod for the wagon... that doesn't sound like good engineering.
