Default I think you will laugh

Ever since my buddy bought his 07 Limited STI, I've really fallen in love with the Interior. So I decided to call Mastro only to get a quote. I believe it was Joe that answered, definetely not Manny. I tell him I'm looking to get Front and rear STI Limited Seats, and the trim for the center console. He says, "Quick estimate, $10,000." I laugh. I will just keep looking on Nasioc for a Part out car. But I know for a fact, that is a bullshit price. Even with the door panels and carpet, know way in hell its that expensive. He told me its because the seats have air bags in them. I laugh again. I'm pretty sure my STI seats did as well.

All USDM STi seats have airbags in them. You can call that guy and laugh your ass off at him on behalf of the entire subaru community.

lol I want to so bad. I called Rob and told him the story. First thing he asked was if the Parts guys' name was Joe. He laughed when I told him yes. He said that guy is an idiot and an asshole.

So what the hell is included in that price, anyway?

1 set of (average-grade) leather seats
1 hour of a Subaru tech installing them
20 minute circle-jerk...
...While enjoying a personal, in-shop U2 concert (guest starring Elton John of course)?

Shit, at least we can expect free reach arounds and juicy-juice.

that is the most outlandish price i have ever heard. you could go get your entire interior redone at an interior shop with better materials for cheaper

i would have guessed around $2k. Limited seats are also heated I believe

what you should do is see if you can just buy the leather seat covers... theyre only leather covers, all of our seat covers are removable
