It was a group buy on sf.org. I also picked up the custom TMIC/scoop splitter as well (notice that they look similar?) in one of his group buys. He makes good stuff for our rides

I love Subtle's stuff, but I just can't fork-over what they want for it.
Chimney Duct w/ Heatshield - BRUSHED: $199.99
Hood Scoop Splitter: $324.99
Radiator Shroud): $79.99
(I'm sure SirWilliam got it significantly less cost)

Yes, some of it is pricey but it is quality custom stuff. And, yes, I did get in on a group buy for the stuff

Digging this one up
But where did you get that alternator cover with the '2.5' on it?

^^ I'm pretty sure that the newer model Foresters came with it stock.

Actually, it is just a USDM '04-05 alternator cover with JDM 2.5 badge from the FSTi.

Actually, the new ones come with this giganto cover like on the legacy cars.

Hey no problem. Glad to get the info out.
Here is a dirty shot of my engine bay in stock form from the dealership:
Here is a more current shot of my engine bay now:
I am trying to be as faithful to the FSTi stock layout as possible...of course I am missing the nice red intake manifold. If I ever have to rebuild my engine I will either go with red or blue for coating the manifold.

oh ok cool. I found it over on Mach V's site actually for like $40 bucks. I just love underhood plaques that show off the engine. -> muscle car guys get roadrunners and '440 six pack' marking.
