As I understand it, all of the normal options for the WRX are "Port Installed
Options". The cars are built only one way in Japan, once they hit the docks
things are added on at that Subaru Of America distribution point.
I do not know how that fits in with our Stock rule against any "dealer
installed, no matter how common". But we will find out won't we :)
There aren't many "functional" options anyway, the short shifter is the only
one that comes to mind that should cause any concern. The 17x7 BBS wheels are
$3038 a set, NOT including tires, so you shouldn't see any of those...
See all the details at www.new-impreza.com.
(Any one who wants to protest the rear differential protector plate can just
jump onto my list of Candy-Assed Wussies, right now.)
The rest are upgraded audio and security systems, the rear wing, carbon fiber
trim, etc.
All the Subaru Performance brand components are sold pretty much as-is, no
warranty, you can put it the car if you want-we won't...

Thanks for the tip. This car will never see solo unless the ASP 911 is out
of service which makes the 17" wheels and short shift an option.
But that does bring up a question. The dealer told me that the short shift
is added before the car is shipped to them, and they showed me the memo from
Subaru stating such, so is it really a dealer option?

Looking forward to hearing about the WRX - but don't forget - the short
shifter is a "dealer option" and not permitted in the stock classes just as
the 17" wheels. The early Honda CRX's ran into the same problems, with
wheels and accessories.
