I'm working with a company to get a plaque made like the STi Type RA has next to their shifter.

So would a heated seat switch cover be a good place for the numbers? Rough Paint idea...but the company Im working with likes the location.

Did it snap into place or is the housing removable to replace?

Should have got the one with the STi logo.





You might try one of the on-line dry transfer products. They will take your design and make one (or as many as you'd like)

They easier to apply than say individual Letraset letters.

That's from Jersey Village, I remember you bought it from Gillman (BW8 and I-59)? How is your driving so far? I have already 1,500 miles in a month. Good news is that I don't stall my car anymore, must have stalled about 10 times. Little bit of jerk in between shifts, but driving on freeway, streets, stops, traffic, does make a difference.

I went to Superior Subaru on 290 to sit in one to make sure I'd fit (6 foot 235 lbs) and was originally thinking about the white but I saw the blue and fell in love. Fast forward to July and I accidentally requested pricing (long story) from around town and got contacted by Gillman. We arrived at a price and they brought over the same car from Superior that I sat in back in March. I guess it was meant to be!

Driving has gotten much better. I don't remember the last time I stalled it. Occasionally I have a jerky shift, but overall it's pretty smooth. Downshifting and rev matching is better but I have yet to work on heel/toe. I'll get to that once I'm really comfortable. I find surface streets to be more enjoyable than freeway, even in traffic.

Just wanted to give you all an update on the plaques. The company is still finishing the design, But they are finishing up the CAD dimensions!
