Just joined the WRX family and I'm looking to upgrade the cabin. Iām already considering a weighted shift knob and some solid all-weather floor mats, but I want to know what else is essential. What are your favorite interior accessories for improving the daily driving experience? Any specific brands that fit the interior perfectly?
For your situation, i'd say focus on protection cuz i've had issues with how fragile the interior feels. honestly, i was disappointed that my dash scratched so fast... it's not as good as expected for the price. i'm still kinda new to this, but i've learned the hard way about keeping things mint. Here is what I recommend:
* Vantrue N4 Pro 3 Channel Dash Cam - u need this for safety, but unfortunately, wiring it is tricky so maybe consult a pro so u dont mess up the airbags.
* ScreenPro Subaru WRX 11.6-inch Screen Protector - the screen is basically a fingerprint magnet and scratches way too easily.
* Subaru OEM Center Console Armrest Extension - the base one is way too low for daily driving. idk but i'd be careful with any mods that might mess with ur electronics. gl with the new ride! 👍
Just sharing my experience: i grabbed a SubieBros Fuse Box Coin Holder for $15 cuz the stock door is flimsy. in my experience, it's the best cheap storage mod i've found yet...
Seconding the recommendation above! Tbh, the WRX interior uses soft plastics that scratch easily, so protection is vital for resale value. Since youre looking at mats, compare TuxMat Floor Mats vs WeatherTech FloorLiner DigitalFit. - TuxMat Floor Mats: 3-layer design helps dampen road noise.
- WeatherTech FloorLiner DigitalFit: High-density tri-extruded material but gets slippery. I'd suggest TuxMat cuz the cabin is lowkey loud. Maybe check those out? Just be careful with the clips!
Helpful thread 👍
Welcome to the fam. Stumbled upon this and figured id weigh in. I have had my WRX for about five years and i am really satisfied with how the interior has held up with the right mods. Since you mentioned knobs, ive gone through a couple:
