Sorry for the late reply. I was in Sac all day yesterday. I did buy a blue 05 STI. I got it for $29,651. It came with the security system, auto dim mirrors and the standard stereo. My plan is to strip my car with Nate next Sunday which is when I will get my car. They had 4 sti's at this price and all of them sold while I was there........Nuts!
I'll try to answer the questions here in reverse order:
1. Ryan: I believe it is a US Spec. I got if from Rennick. It does seem wider than the air splitter though. I bought it brand new and used it for maybe 1500 miles.
2. Tyson, As long as I can get a stock bar, I'll happily sell you the sway bar alone at a great price. It is the Cusco 22-24 bar. Also the ECU (everyone is correct) it would need to be reflashed to stock which Nate will do on Sunday. I would nee to swap with your ecu. Yes it would save you $400. The hard part is you would be without an ecu for a couple of days.
3. Dean: Yes they fit over the stoptechs. They are 17x7's w/ 225/45/17 M2's. The color of the wheels is silver. Again this also includes a fifth wheel still in the box. Franz PM'd before I checked this email, so dibs goes to either one of you. Sorry about that.
Unless someone can tell me otherwise, I sadly must also sell my 17x8 bronze rota torques with falken azenis st-115's (bought in May this year). I was planning on these as a second set for the new sti, but it turns out that for '05 they changed the wheels to a 17x8 width with a different bolt pattern. I found this out while shootin' the shit with the salesman after we closed the deal (not that I would have passed on this deal).
I also remembered that I have a Whiteline anti-lift kit - $110. Also installed this summer.
I am around most of the day today at my house if any of you want to call

Thanks for all the interest, Hopefully I can reasonably close the gap further.
