When you switch to boosters, I recommend the Clek line (ollie, ozzi), they are super compact, easy to hook in place, and memory foam keeps butts comfy.

If it's the same white as the WRX Sti I see on my daily commute it has a bluish hue to the white instead of the bronzy look the SWP has; makes sense if the stitching will be blue.

Nice pics...we haven't seen many drag pics with mostly stock 86's. It's usually just the big turbo builds.

I got my in August 2012 and I've got 12,600. I wish I had the time I did in my 20's where I could zip off every couple days on a long car-trip. When my Jeep was new I had 40k on it in the first year.
