Premium. I wanted the limited but honestly I hate subaru leather. It's thin and ages really poorly usually.

It isn't a EJ motor dude perhaps you should know what you are talking about, it's the new DIT FA. Big difference. #4 piston is no longer next to the turbo. That should be history. That's an EJ motor problem, always has been. This isn't the same motor.
Congrats. Same color as my GR, DGM. It really shows the lines well and when I bought my STi it's the only color choice I wanted
I'll be buying one as soon as the 5 door is ready. Should be it 2 years at the latest. Subaru ack'd this week that it was a bone and it's now on the table for decisions. There are lots of folks not happy after 13 years straight of a 5 door offering and it's made its' way around the forums as well as the press and zines. They also didn't get the pre-order they thought they'd get. STi still has the EJ and no 5 door will do that.
I can't wait. Hopefully we'll see the FA in the STi at that point as well.

Questions for the OP
Did you inquire if any of the options that are on the website are actually options that they might order directly from the factory?
Like the STi alloy wheels, shifter, front and rear spoilers/undertrays?
The website points out that each option is "dealer prices may vary" so it doesn't really appear to be a factory option. Basic factory options are the added packages for premium and limited.
Are the 17" STi alloy wheels any wider than stock WRX?

When I bought my WRX back in 2002, virtually every option if not all were dealer installed.

The 17" STi wheels are the same size i think. But their expensive. $1600 i think. id rather get aftermarket wheels.

Thanks, just seeing how they are optioning these cars from the factory b/c nerd car knowledge and SCCA solo autoX classing.
If it's dealer installed, it's considered aftermarket in the eyes of SCCA. But if it's a factory option, it's not. Wider wheels, short shifter and so on are helpful mods. I definitely wouldn't want to buy those STi wheels for $1,600 if they are eact same size as regular WRX wheels.

Your engine is good to go, enjoy. For the first time the WRX engine is better than the STi.
