This weekend I installed my SAFC-2. Thought I'd show off a few pics. I used an aluminum cut-out center vent delete and overlaid it in *real* carbon fiber. I epoxied metal brackets in place in the back to hold the SAFC-2 in place. I think it came out real nice and matches my guage cluster which is also carbon fiber (can't see in the picture). I wanted a clean look.
As far as the wiring goes, I did something a little different. Instead of just hardwiring the harness end right into the ECU, I went scavengering at the junk yard and found the green clip below. Here's the cool part .... all of the colors match the SAFC-2 harness except for grey. Total luck. It's a Subaru HVAC connector. If you pull out the center vent in a Subby, it should sit right on top above the HVAC controllers. Wire cut it out and bring it home. I wired the green end of the harness to the ECU, and the white end to the SAFC-2 cable. The whole thing is plug-n-play now and could be totally removed in less than 5 if need be. The best part - it's looks clean and it's hard to tell something aftermarket has been done.
