I've got a new-to-me 2006 Outback 2.5i Limited 5MT. I like quite a bit about this car. One thing I don't is the cramped space for my feet when I'm driving. The toes on my left foot are pushed up against the underside of the dash in certain positions. Has anyone struggled with the same issue? I've not looked closely, but can that panel be removed without it looking ridiculous?
Anyone else short on footroom? Solutions?

I'm only size 9, and it's something I start to notice with one pair of dress shoes.
Never driven a Viper eh? You'd have to take off your shoes! I have size 13 and some cars have given me problems.
The panel under the dash can be removed without much problem, it is just a sound control device. The OBD-II port mounts to it though, but it can hang there or you could zip tie it up out of the way.

Must have really long legs.
My problem is the opposite - short legs and long arms.
I was hugging the steering wheel until I added 2" hard rubber blocks to the pedals and footrest. Now I can sit back comfortably and just drive.

I was thinking it was a little tall on the gearing. 3k at 80, 27 mph/1k. IIRC LGT is like 22 mph/1K...
So.... as luck would have it, I was doing this fog light mod today and decided to leave the lower panel off. You have to zip tie the OBD port up but other than that it's a painless mod. There's maybe a hint more noise coming in without that panel, but my toes are happy.
