CAC FASUBARUFORESTER200820127 Double DIN Fascia Kit for Subaru Forester/Impreza/WRX 2007-2014

Professional dashboard integration for third and fourth-generation Subaru Forester, Impreza, and WRX models.

Product Overview

The CAC FASUBARUFORESTER200820127 is a double DIN fascia kit engineered for multiple Subaru models sharing platform architecture: Forester (SH chassis, 2008-2012), Impreza (GE/GH/GR/GV chassis, 2007-2011), and WRX (GE/GR/GV chassis, 2007-2014). This adapter panel converts your factory head unit opening to accept standard aftermarket double DIN receivers while maintaining your dashboard's black aesthetic. Manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic, the kit includes the fascia panel, side mounting brackets, and installation hardware. Compatible across multiple generations and body styles within these model ranges. Minor adjustments may be required depending on specific trim level and installation requirements, which is normal for multi-model universal adapters.

Features & Benefits

Factory-Matched Black Finish - OEM-specification black ABS plastic construction blends seamlessly with Subaru dashboard designs from this generation. The finish matches factory trim materials across Forester SUV, Impreza sedan/hatch, and WRX performance variants, maintaining authentic Subaru interior aesthetics.

Multi-Model Platform Coverage - Engineered for compatibility across three popular Subaru model lines spanning seven years of production. This versatile design accommodates Forester third-generation (SH), Impreza third-generation (GE/GH/GR/GV), and WRX performance variants, streamlining inventory for installers working across multiple Subaru models.

Complete Installation Kit - Every essential component included: precision-cut black fascia panel, side mounting brackets for secure fitment, and all required installation screws. This complete solution eliminates the need for additional adapter purchases in most applications.

Universal Double DIN Compatibility - The standardised 173×98mm opening accepts virtually all aftermarket double DIN head units from Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, JVC, and other major manufacturers. Upgrade to modern Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems for navigation and smartphone integration across adventure-focused Forester and performance-oriented WRX applications.

Durable ABS Construction - High-grade automotive ABS plastic resists UV degradation, temperature extremes, and daily wear. The material maintains structural integrity across Australia's diverse driving conditions, from Forester outback touring to spirited WRX canyon driving, preventing warping or fading over the vehicle's lifetime.

Flexible Installation Design - Purpose-engineered to accommodate dashboard variations across trim levels and model years. While most installations are straightforward, the design allows for minor adjustments when needed to ensure proper fitment across different specifications within the compatible model range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit all three Subaru models without modification This fascia is designed for compatibility across Forester, Impreza, and WRX from the specified years. Most installations are straightforward, though minor adjustments may be required depending on specific trim levels or dashboard variations.

What does it mean that modification might be needed Some trim levels within these model ranges have dashboard variations that may require minor fascia adjustment for optimal fitment. This is normal for multi-model universal adapters and typically involves small trimming adjustments rather than major modifications.

Does this fit WRX STI models as well Yes, this fascia is compatible with WRX STI variants from 2007-2014, as they share the same dashboard architecture as standard WRX models from this generation.

Will I need additional mounting hardware This kit includes the fascia panel, side brackets, and installation screws. Most aftermarket head units include their own universal mounting cage system, which works with these components for complete installation.

What size head units does this accept This accepts standard double DIN (2-DIN) aftermarket head units with dimensions up to 173mm wide × 98mm high, which includes most major brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, and JVC.
