Those seats are awesome. Aren't they the S203/S204 Recaros that cost like 5K each?!

If so, hopefully they'll cost ALOT less now, and I'll be able to throw some in my 04.

OH MAN! I like it all...EXCEPT those clear taillights, but that is a simple red tint fix.

I think I see a few new items under the hood. Yep, I do. And I ain't happy about it. Looks like the air pump thingy that was present on the 06-07 WRX--I believe it's there for emissions.

The air intake looks really restrictive with all those bends.

I agree. Even less bolstering than usdm seats. The recaros will probably be a 2 grand option if anything.

Anyone notice that the first two cars don't have that sweet front lip? That had better be an option (or standard) for the North American market because it looks silly without it.

I wonder if those Recaros are the "optional" hardcore ones because according to AddSTi, there is supposed to be an option for true Recaro bucket seats in EU, AU, JP.
