Yeah those keys are great. I've had one for about a year now. I in from ebay for 35 bucks. They are made out of solid titanium and are really thick. The ring hole is on the outside so the rest of the keys hang better and don't pull on the ignition. Hopefully the USA STI's come with them too.

 

yup

titanium

perfect for keying those dumb civics that park super close to me...

and those range rovers!!

 

The USDM STi will have one. There is a picture on the Impreza site of the key in the ignition. Pretty sweet indeed.

 

yea i saw that pic, and that key looks awesome!

 

but what about the transponder??? i hope it will have it since wrxs are so easy to steal... please give us an immobilizer system...

 

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm finding it exceedingly difficult to get excited over a key...

 

It's the little things in life...

 

Just to chime in, making the key teeth portion out of a very hard (and brittle) metal like Titanium would be an exceedingly bad idea. You want the key itself to be a softer metal, so it wears down during use rather than the lock's internals.

(Looks cool though, but I really hope they have an immobilizer for it.)

Offtopic, but as a lark I ran the Kanji on the key page though Systran. (Specifically the stuff next to the gauges).

"When ignition is turned to ON, four guides of meter point to one time
MAX first and return to zero rapidly (STi specC is excluded). Regardless of day and night can guarantee high visibility adopting the
regular luminous expression which to this meter panel. The illuminant with LED of the red which holds down the fatigue, made adjustment
possible with illuminational control. (The meter ring has administered the aluminum make whose material feeling is high.)"

Now all I need is an impossively buxom lady with blue hair and giant eyes to ride shotgun.
