Ok so I got this steering wheel a while back for a fair price from a wreckers. Honestly I have no idea why subaru didn't put steering wheel controls on the gen4 pre-face. Only the spec-B's got them
(and auto GT's as well but they're shift buttons)
Anyway the lack of buttons was really pissing me off with the touch screen stereo. I just found it difficult to change tracks and volume while moving. Anyway, seeing as I had a wheel off the car I decided to re-skin it (DIY). It was in pretty good condition when I got it but I'm wrapping it in nappa (really smooth) leather with red stitch from redlinegoods.com
To accompany it I'm also getting a red stitch shift boot, handbrake boot, and console cover. Normally I would think this is a little ricey but as the car is themed with red accessory lighting it just seems work. Well in theory anyway. Waiting on arrival of the parts. I'll do a write up when they get here.
Anyways I got this recently. It's the start of my red stitch them. It's nice not having the plastic shifting pattern thing. It feels better on the hand.
