Short throw shifter or alarm and...????
Allllright...here's my situation. Just bought a new 2003 wrx wagon and asked for the short throw shifter. They didn't install it yet, so I took my wrx home and actually didn't mind the throw on the standard transmission.
Problem is, I already paid the three hundred bucks for the shifter and getting them to cut me a check for the $300 seems like pulling teeth with the dealership. (Of course they don't want me to remove options...)
So I decided to get the security system upgrade instead. That leaves about $90 left for me to blow at the dealer, but I don't really see anything in that price range that I can add to the car that would make me happy.
What should I do? Keep the short throw? Get the alarm and try and ask for some $$ back? Get the alarm and get something else???
Recommondations would be greatly appreciated!

Personally, I would keep the Subaru short throw package and also get the security package if you want it. It keeps the stock shifter height, but shortens the throw by changing the linkages, so it doesn't require as much extra force to shift as a lot of the aftermarket ones that just change the shifter. If you're intent on swapping it for the security system, did you get the rubber floor mats? They're about $40 invoice and can hold an entire Big Gulp if need be. They're definitely a good buy if you get bad winters. Beyond that, I dunno.
