However, I did not trim down the 3 pins. Instead I made 3 holes with a 1/16 drill bit but did not finger drill all the way thru (I just turned the drill bit by hand, took a very long time to make it clean). Once done and badge installed, the left most pin will bulge the rubber a bit but hardly noticeable (facing towards the front of the car). Looks very clean!
Got them done at the shop. They said it was pretty easy. Whole install took about 2 hours.

Thanks

Thinking of the Recaro Sportster STI version... I know the non-STI branded one is a lot cheaper; but I'm a sucker when it comes to the "STI"...

You can just get it reupholstered. I'm planning to do that. I don't like how the seats are gray so I'll be picking up a used set of Sportsters and having a company redo the whole upholstery on it. They can emboss the STi logo on to it easily.

Hmm! Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all... I'm just wondering if the Sportsters would come with side airbags like the OE does... That could be the deal breaker.

I just want the STI Performance badge for my trunk. Maybe I will find it on rakuten by the time my car is old and rusted out lol!

I also emailed clubrz to see if I can get some clubreeze stickers but the JDM folks probably think I'm crazy.
