I heavily debated either going with or with out the bumper cover. At my work, there are about 18 or so dealers all in the circle. 4 newer STI's and WRX's. Coincidentally, 2 have the cover and two don't. I went with it.

Personally, I would cancel the spt short throw its one of the biggest waste of money. It's practically the exact same length as the stock throw. My current 06 has it and my buddy's stock 08 does not.. It's the exact same throw distance. Just take it off and buy yourself an aftermarket one. Check rallysportdirect.com they have good prices and you can get your mud flaps from there too!

Thanks for the info! But wouldnt it be a little late to cancel now? Plus, I dont have a clue how to put in a short throw myself, or the confidence in many others. lol. I'll have to look into it.

No it's not too late, you can contact the dealer and let them know which parts you want to add or remove and they'll send it over right away. And a short throw definitely isn't easy. Just purchase one and see if a local shop can do it for you for cheap! Also don't forget the bushings with it!!

More importantly though, is that STi shifter felt more precise over stock which felt kinda rubbery in comparison. It's probably the bushing more than anything else. Considering my last car was FWD with a cable actuated shifter, anything with a proper linkage feels amazing in comparison. The car I bought came with it, but I don't think I would have optioned it if it didn't and instead would have went with a Kartboy, because I know Tom and he's a great guy. |

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, is the spt short throw with bushings worth the $450? I don't think so.

However, if it means living with it to get a good deal on a car that is available inventory it's not so bad. I effectively did not pay much if at all for mine based on the lease offer I got compared to a car I'd have to order without it. |

Well I most definitely agree with you if it's currently on the car because like I said my current 06 came with it so negotiating a deal and having the available option is one thing. But ordering it aside on your own, probably wouldn't be the smartest decision.

Yay!!!!! My dealer just called me to inform me that we got a VIN!!! He gave me a tentative ETA of late April early May. Just as a reminder, I ordered on December nineteenth, and assuming I receive the car the last week of April at the earliest, it's gonna make it an approximate 19 week wait, going on 20 21 22 if I'm waiting into May.

I'm surprised yours took that long. It is usually the white sti's with NAVI that take a hot minute. What if yours was sitting at the port from 2 months waiting on wheel locks |

With my luck, it was probably something silly like that, so maybe it'll come in faster than expected, wishful thinking and happy waiting.

Another update today! So I broke my word and emailed my dealer after getting my VIN about a month ago...
Order placed in SNE (VIN # not provided until car lands stateside):1/5/13 1st ETA: Late April 2013 2nd ETA (days after order, I made February allocation): 2/15/13?!? MY CAR HIT PORT "a few days ago" and "should be at the dealer soon". So this means I should have it within 2 week! Current ETA: April 10th, 2013 |

Yes it is a dealer installed option. At least that is what my dealer told me.

So I have a VON and order sheet says March allocation and estimated ETA of March 2013. I'm seeing some of the posts above say February allocation with April 2013 ETA. Does that make sense or should I be worrying about this dealer with a March ETA?
