It will fit, the top edge may be obscured but who really gives a toss. I think you may have to dodgey up a bracket as well.

I forgot are you using GD loom for the car or GC8 with conversions to GD?

If its GC8 to GD dash loom, make me a harness while you are at it

Got any pix so far? Can't wait to see it!

I've done a JDM Mk3 digital dash into a Mk3 analogue Supra which had totally different connectors, see here

Was a LOT of work but well worth it in the end

Work out how to get the GD aircon controls to drive the GC8 aircon system and I'll give you a big hug

Worth the hard work if you have the Defi STI cluter, WRX one, not so much. If you can make it fit and get the wiring right, good work i say.

It seems the 03 STI JDM ones are the easiest to come across.

I put on in my bugeye, was obviously a direct fit, but people have different issues with the later model ones in terms of Rear Diff Light (Obviously will come on), Tempature sensor (mine works somehow?) RPM Shift buzzer etc.

Would like to see a pic of the STI one in a GC8, would look pretty nice.
