Beautiful car. First impressions? Do you intend to modify anything?

you know those are just a turbo/intercooler/ECU away from being an STI?

but nice to know the motor is over-engineered for the power they put it out with

Thanks guys! My first impression is tons of torque from any gear down to 2K. It rides smoothly over any pavement, quiet inside. The handling is awesome even with the stock tires. I did get some 4 wheel drift coming up an on ramp the other day. (about 50mph+ tight corner)
I didn't notice any turbo lag but you can feel it kick in at about 2500-3000rpm. The M/T doesn't like to go into reverse too easy and the shifter feels a little rubbery, hopefully the short throw STI shifter I have on order will take care of that.
Here's an interior pic with the lights on, not the greatest.
