Is Japanparts obsessed with STI stuff? I'm still scrolling thru their facebook page and almost everything they post is about Subaru/STI lol!

Just got the Subaru magazine today in the mail, it says the new WRX will have this wheel design as option too in matte black but I wonder what's the width.
I wouldn't be surprised... They always find a way to screw us over.

Exactly my thought hahaha; I guess the STI folks are more willing to spend...

Would totally buy if it didn't cost that much.
Not worth it for me.

The (genuine) Recaro seat without the STI stitching is a lot cheaper. These STIs look a lot like the Sportster CS : http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-21...port-seat.aspx

(not sure about the airbag situation though)

Was the side skirts hard to install?

Okay for the gurney flap I find that after many car washes the sticker seems to be coming off. So with the advice of this thread I have replaced it with the STI spoiler badge.

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!

EDIT: I cut down the pins length to half, then remove the 3M neoprene double side tape and replace it with thin double side tape. Now the badge looks very flush to the rubber and no more bulges at the back. I might just order another gurney flap and go back to the sticker. I know, I'm too obsessed with OEM.
