Are the sti wheels the same from japanparts? should i just wait for these to be availble in states than buying from japanparts? saving in shipping?

The STI Performance package in Japan comes with the body kit, flexible tower bar, and flexible draw stiffener, and comes around 260k yen installed.

Short shifter itself is easy. What's harder is the rear shifter bushing, but that's not to bad either

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

I can't wait for this model to come out so people would stop asking me if my STI rims are fake, and thus I can stop pointing to my fake side vents as response.

This might be Subaru's effort to clear stock before the mid-cycle refresh/facelift. So wait for this or wait for the following model year with updates.

hmmm might be worth waiting for if it had the STI suspension upgrades. Although I question if the STI suspension would even be suitable for a daily driver.

But since it is just cosmetic I don't see the point.
