So does the plate mount just look better? I guess I need to decide on the no drill request when I order.

And people request not to have their car washed/detailed because some of the time they don't really put as much care into washing as you (the owner) would. Also after car car leaves the plant it sits outside before being loaded into a boat. Then it sits on a boat in the ocean for a month on it's way over to the US. Then it sits in the port, uncovered until it is loaded onto a truck where it gets transported for at least a week with all the salt/rain/bugs/road grime. Then the dealer just washes it and rubs all the crap and **** into your nice new paint leaving swirl marks up the @$$!!! I requested no wash/detail/tire shine, no plate holes, no dealer sticker and to leave the plastic that comes on the car on. I plan on picking mine up, bringing it home and wash, clay bar and wax...the way it should be done. |

I definitely can see why you wouldnt want a wash and detail but you would think that most all Subaru dealers would take great care with a new STI delivery. I wonder how good the factory wax is on the STIs? |

+1 I told the dealer to take these same exact steps when i bought my '13 WRX wrb hatch back in September and it saved me from 1) having to get rid of all the swirlmarks they would carelessly put in the paint job 2) Not have to have unnecessary front licence plate holes drilled 3) Didn't have to remove the dealership sticker that they would surely put on it. Small things some people wouldn't even notice but it gave me a piece of mind that I was getting the car just how I wanted. |

#1: you can mount plates on the front bumper without drilling or relocating by getting this: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2433617
#2: NEVER take a car without removing the plastic. it is imperative that you allow them to inspect the car and also that YOU inspect the car. they don't have to wash it, but allow them and yourself to inspect the finish, and preferably indoors...otherwise...if there was port paintwork or shoddy work from the factory, and you leave to do that on your own, you will have that much more of battle on your hands if you refuse them that part of the prep work. they don't have to wash it, just remove the plastic. TRUST ME ON THIS, PLEASE. |

I basically told the dealer once the car rolls off the truck to park it and don't do anything to it until I get there. That way I can remove the plastic myself and check for damage. |

Damn I really love the sedan and the hatch both the same.
I have decided on a sedan but man the hatch is AWESOME!!! Its the same with deciding on a color. I am going with white but everytime I see a pic of the Rally blue I want to change my mind. |

Received ETA of May from the dealer.
Order date 1/24 Hoping that the eta moves forward a few weeks as others have been seeing in this thread. Also its nice to see that PBP is not nearly as popular is SWP. |
