Authentic Subaru OEM S207 JDM Console Hood
Here's another part that we just didn't get in the US of A. The US hood that goes over the factory gauges is smaller and made out of bare plastic. The JDM hood is actually longer which should improve visibility of the gauges in direct light and has a leather like finish. There's also Silver stitching on the front.
Removal of the OEM hood is not difficult and the replacement is a direct fit.
NOTE: Some pictures in this product listing may show the red stitching for reference. The installation and use of this item is the same, but the stitching is SILVER.

JDM vs OEM
This pictures illustrates the differences in sizes and finishes. The hood kit includes two pieces. The actual hood cover with its padded, leather like finish with silver stitching and the larger mount which goes around display.

It should've came this way!
By Anne January 24, 2018My 2015 Forester 2.5i's interior looks much more put-together with the JDM console hood in place. It's amazing how something as small as this can make such a difference. With that being said, installation was actually a bit harder than expected--nothing that can't be handled though. Just have patience when you do the install. Also, I highly recommend having some car trim tools on hand. Final note: installation is slightly different than depicted in the video (at least for my specific vehicle). I had no need to remove the trim piece around the radio. Also, my gauge was screwed into the USDM hood. Hopefully this information helps someone!

This is a great finishing touch!
By Menel June 19, 2017Shame Subaru didn't include it for the USDM, at least on the Touring spec vehicles. Matches the silver stitching on my steering wheel perfectly. Looks OEM. Installation was a breeze.

Should have came this way!
By Kimsey47 March 8, 2017This part is a nice touch to the interior of the vehicle and really enhances the very plain dash on the US spec WRX. I WILL be getting one for my Forester ASAP as like the previous review says it adds class! I knocked the ease of installation down because the flat plastic piece that lays in front of the screen was such a PITA to take off! I could not pry my fingers underneath it so I could give it a good pull... That being said I did find a much easier solution that worked great for removing it: Take a sturdy piece of string like a shoe lace and lace it through some of the holes that are exposed after taking off the vents. It takes some effort to "lace" it through; however, I was easily able to get leverage at that point and pulled the piece out like it was nothing... If only I had thought of that 30-45 minutes earlier! Lastly, props to SubiSpeed for their great customer support as my first dash piece had some damage. I sent pics of the piece and the next day they'd already shipped out a replacement! Great customer service! Thank you!

Adds class to the interior
By David February 23, 2017Great fit, easy installation. Stops the MFD screen reflecting in the windscreen at night. Much nicer finish than the stock plastic hood too!
