That's pretty trick man! Where did you find these parts?

Subtle is awesome.

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)

Ya, does seem pricey for... some Al.

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.

ahh... now i see. thanks for clearing that up.

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.
