Default WRX to STI interior swap

What do you guys think? Is it ricey for me to have an STI interior with only a WRX? Is there any difference between the WRX and STI seats? The very few I have sat in had JDM STI seats which are more bolstered (sp) other than that I cant remember. I found someone on NASIOC that wants to trade, hopefully its straight up.

Is it rice to put an Sti wing on a Wrx? OEM BBS wheels? Sti hood scoop? The answer to all is no as long as you don't try to pass your car off as something more than it really is just by appearance.

That being said I think the Sti interior is nice, regardless of the car.

Appearance is nice but it is not everything. Rice = appearance is everything. Otherwise known as posin'.

im not a big fan of the blue in the interior. i like how brewpubeaver did his black with the new seats. just my opinion, and the sti seats are really comfortable. i say go for it if its straight up....

go for it bro. I have the usdm seats and I like them a lot better than my old crappy 02 Wrx seats. If you find a good deal go for it. I got the Front seats, backseats and all door cards for like $500, plus the guy drove from Atlanta to my house.

I did just the opposite, switching an STi interior out for the WRX interior. First off, I think the USDM STi seats aren't bolstered enough (feels like you're sitting on soft cardboard), and my STi was going to be all black.

I will say that the STi seats are a little bit lower to the floor than WRX seats, which is nice.

If you do switch out interior, be sure to stay with the same model year, as 2004 and 2005 door panels are different.
