The only problem with the ASP trim is that it is wider than the sti trim. When it is installed there is very little console visible to the left and the right of the trim. IMHO it changed the whole look of the sti trim, and does not look as good because of it. That is why I went with the sti trim.

 

Looks good rhk118! I'm having trouble resisting the urge... it can only be a matter of time before I break down and order one.

Bonkers. :banana:

Personally I think it looks great. I've seen the real STi one installed (not one of the knock-offs) as well and I like the brushed aluminum look of the ASP plate better myself (the STi one has a flat aluminum-colored finish)...just a preference thing. I don't think it leaves too little plastic to be seen, there's enough in there already...I also got the dead pedal plate with the rubber ***** to match the WRX pedals from ASP and that is a nice addition as well (installs in 15 seconds...), very high-quality piece as well...

I have another pic of the shift trim in my gallery (was my desktop for a while, I'm a geek I admit it! well, more like a geeky-dweeb ):

(did someone say gallery ho?! )

BTW Nigel, like the red backlighting...I still have to get to doing that!

 

I actually wasn't keen on the ASP dead pedal, I went for the one from Kastle's Korner instead.

Been too busy running around to put it in yet - not that it takes long, just making excuses - but when I do (probably this weekend) I'll get a pic and post it. Looks as good in real life as it does in the pic, to me at least.

Bonkers.
