I had 2 weeks of hoops to jump through to get a warranty fix of my SEATS approved on a 100% stock car. They took pictures of everything from the bottom of car/engine bay down to the tread of my tires.

Note: They eventually decided to cover it, but insisted they needed to keep my car for 2 weeks to have it shipped (and by this I'm sure they meant "driven") to an upholstery repair company. This for a 45 minute job. I ended up doing it myself.

Now I think the cost of a vehicle in Britian vs here is ~25-30% more (due to volume sales and other factors); so we are talking somewhere around $57.5-$61.6K equivalency. Now if one takes the base GSR in the US with suspension, basic bolt ons (CAI, TBE) and tune we are talking about ~$41K. This means you can obtain the same performance EVO X in the US for between $16.5-$20.6K less. My point, you ask? Our aftermarket vendors are ten's of thousands dollar less than the aquisition of same through a dealership in Great Britain although they have a warranty for the FQ's. That said, the USA is still a steal when it comes to enhansing the performance window of ur car.

Look at the H-pattern on the shifter and the e-brake cover has FQ-400 #003.
