You mind taking a pic of your tire tread? Seems like a Potenza I have never seen before.

I've heard tell that it's a tire designed specifically for the STi. WOW.

Will do tomorrow. When I was trying to swap the Advans we were all looking at the Potenzas thinking, what a shame. Im sorta glad the Advans didnt work, but now Im stuck with wheels/tires that cost me $3k. Ugh!!!

Actually Richard, you are correct. The STi is the first production car to have them as standard equipment. They are 140 treadwear Bridgestone Potenza RE-730's (or something like that)...quite sticky when flying through the twisties, I must say.

Black STi

OK, I promised no more bandwidth abuse, but took some pics of the black so last time unless more are requested I promise. This car is sweet. Looks so much better in the sun, just wouldnt want to try and keep this thing clean...

FYI - The STi wing uses 12 bolts, 4 alignment pins and 1 hole for wires. Thats a total of 17 holes in the trunk lid.
Part numbers for the WRX trunk are the same 2002 - 2004, but the STi has a different number. SOA isn't sure but think the STi trunk comes with the holes pre-drilled.

Y'know I hadn't really paid attention, but the black color helps to understate the slightly gaudy STi bodywork and comes off very classy! I like!
