The benefit of the JDM STi swap is the 2.0L closed or semi-closed deck engine, depending on the version. The drawback is the time and complexity of getting it shipped from Japan.

Oh yeah, I've look on there numerous times and have considered it, but If I got a USDM one, I would kind of want to do it myself. I can do a good majority of the work myself. The only things I'm not particularly experienced with is wiring and paint/body work.
I would just need the space and tools to do it.
