Got my STi last night, Chicago IL
Will post pics later. Unfortunately I am at work and the STi is at home in the garage waiting for me to return. All I can say is that it is everything I expected and more. I think the wing and scoop look better in person and I would not change them, not that I ever planned on it. The scoop, wing, gold rims, all add to the overall package. So far at 55mph the scoop does not move. Will try to go a little faster tonight and see if it moves or if I notice the wing move. The 6spd is nice, glad I went with the armrest extension, it all lines up nicely and is nice to have a place to rest my arm. It sounds great, deep rumble but nothing crazy sounding. I can't wait to hear and feel it above 4k rpms. These first 1k are going to take a long time. Sux I am at work now and will be gone all weekend and wont have my STi. It will be a long weekend, might have to cut trip short so I can get back home.

I want one, I can afford one, but I too can't justify buying one a year after buying a WRX, modding it and making it exactly the way I like it. I'm not crazy about the big rear wing on a street car. I'm 34 and like having cheap insurance, don't want tickets. That rear wing will be a ticket magnet. I do plan on getting a take off cat back, wheels, side skirts, shocks from some of you crazy STi guys out there once you start modding. So hurry up and start souping up your darn cars will ya.

Is anyone else able to view the pictures off of this link? It looks like they may no longer be available. Probably used too much bandwidth...
