The port of entry is NOT a dealer. You cannot buy the car from them. Since
it's an official part of Subaru's network, it's still the "factory". It
remains the "factory" until it arrives at the point of sale. THAT is the
dealer.
I think the intent of that rule was to keep limited edition, dealer
specific, options from being legal. Port installed options are available to
anyone who orders the car, so the intent of that rule doesn't apply here.

> 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...

just jump onto my list of Candy-Assed Wussies, right now.)

fiber trim, etc.

warranty, you can put it the car if you want-we won't...
