I was surprised that the sills seem to be the only bit not colour coded. Is that to help differentiate the STI? Luckily my car is black, so its not THAT noticable

Do they actually paint the current strips for that price, or replace them with painted ones? The surface doesn't seem the sort that you'd paint - certainly not if you want a smooth finish.

eddie h: about a day or two before I was able to pick it up, not sure on the price, it was dead cheep, because it was done from new.
I will kook the cost out later, and post it.

Ralf Paris: Its an MY03 in WR Blue (Mica), the colour shifts and changes in the light from deep blue to pale blue, in strong sun light.

Photo was taken in the evening, and flattens the depth of colour
