A couple of things man, first of all, that is a seriously LOVELY machine, inside and out. Really amazing how much time and money and effort that you have invested in it.
Second, thanks a ton for the write up, having the pricing and everything on there is SUPER helpful. I know that i want to do a good amount of stuff to my Sti so this is just serving as a great barometer for a lot of the nitty gritty details. Really amazing write-up and i look forward to seeing and hearing more from the build, PEACE!
