So what are folks for the turn signals, high/low beams, etc.? using steering stalk or are you going with custom switch panel? How about the gauges, going with stock gauge pod from WRX/Sti or putting in an AIM display ?

818R Build in progress
Both my cars are 818S.
I plan on using everything on the steering column.
My son age 16 wants it like a race car. We are planning on using on of these switches.

The AIM MXL Pista gives you all the dash functions as well as lap timing, G loads and with the GPS module it gives you track mapping and speed display.

I'm going stock all around. I'll be adding heat to whatever seats I go with, so aftermarket switches for those.
Everything stock around the steering column plus the VW MFA function (displays various info like time, oil temp, trip A, trip B, fuel consumption...) which I am unsure yet where the trigger will be located (it's on the right steering arm on the VW but I'll use the Subaru's arms).
As for gauge pod, I'll use the one of my VW, will be easier to wire up that gauge with m VW engine rather than the Subaru's pod with my VW engine.

Those switches look nice Bob. To be able to customize the labels is great. The marine cockpit is one we could take a few notes from with the open roadster 818 (for now).
