And now the good news regarding those seats...... The brochure/pamphlet type thing I brought home from the dealer says that, on FQ300 and 'regular' Evo 8 models, the leather/alcantara is a "dealer fit option" in choice of color/logo. In other words they've designed it as a kit to add to/replace your standard Recaro material finish. I'll ask my guy at the dealer what $$ it would take; be nice if a U.S. dealer had ordering information on the kit though. With no legal certification to deal with, there would seem to be little reason not to offer this in The States.

I think if you had a right hand drive evo, 330bhp, AYC and ACD then you could put the FQ330 badge on...otherwise it'll look a bit fake in my opinion.
hope that helps,

cars are so much more expensive over here than they are in the US though....that is considered cheap for such performance...considering you'd be paying the equivalent of ~$150000 for a porsche 911 turbo with similar performance to that of the 330
The subaru impreza Sti is even cheaper than the FQ300 by about $7k (equivalent),

yeah, but it's more like the standard GSR i.e. 276bhp. You can get the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) which is simialr to the FQ series, but that only takes it up to about 290-300. The only problem is that they are so common in the UK. on a normal day you could see about 10-20 imprezas on the road...wheras you'd see about that many evos a year!

Now if I can somehow verify perfect fitment of this exhaust..
I don't think you can gte that rear bumper becuase of the liscense plate area...it's wide for the euro style plate. But I don't know for sure, perhaps they make a bumper with a slot for US spec plates too.
