The suede dash is pretty hot, though.

Rather than the added cost of the carbon roof, gimme a retune with 50 more hp/tq. Then leave the cost remainder in $1 bills in the hatch area.

I'll keep it "green" by recycling the $$ at the local strip joint.

Thanks for that Paul...next time I see you I'm going to kick your shin...
OR better yet I'll call your girlfriend and have her do it!!

I am going to disagree with the praise for the suede dash. I don't really like it...

Automatic =
I love my manual...when I want to drive an automatic I drive my truck. I wouldn't have like the STI if it was an automatic, to me the tranny is part of the appeal [in a weird way]...just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Drive at 9/10ths down a road with the sun blaring off the dash and you'll change your mind about that.
