If it was all that for under 40k from dealer I might actually consider it. Agreed that they should try to do a limtied run.

Although the STi forester is really bad *** and I'd love to have one, it's hardly a new concept and has been around in Japan for a number of years... It's not even that new here in the states, it's an "easy" swap and other shops have done it. What's so special about PIA? (I read it as "Pain in ***", lol )

$40k for a true STi forester would be GREAT. You get a lot more "car" for your money with the performance of an STi drivetrain (engine, tranny, brakes, DCCD, etc)... That would be SICK and I could see myself buying one of those way before I bought a new STi for $40 (or anywhere near $40k. Paul (db) gave me a new appreciation for awesome *** automobile at the last BAM. Those foresters that rolled in were friggin SICK. I'd love to have a factory tuned STi forester.

They're one of the bigger shops up there. I'll hold my opinion of their work to myself. I've had direct dealings with said work.
