It's electric and it closes by itself... *rolls eyes*

It's got 20% reflective on it....at the right angle, you can't see in at all

I used to have 5% gold reflective, done it once and won't be going that illegal again. It's dangerous!

In regards to Betty STI...

Tighter, Smoother, Quieter and way more low end torque compared to my MY04

Cornering is OK but I see improvements to be had for my liking.

the Sports # mode is great but have to turn on everytime you get in the car which is tedious.

Stereo sounds ok but not loud enough and not enough bass - Ipod input is great, loaded 250 songs onto my mobile and play them instead of the radio.

cant see the front of the car as well as the old one - gaging where it is seems harder.

Overall I wouldnt go back to the 04, the 2.5 is much better around town motor I think. (Flamesuite now probably required)

The last time I drove a GC8 was in 1994 so cant remember to compare but compared to MY04 it is better.

What turbo does it run? And i'm assuming this can be replaced easily with other units on the market currently.

Verso compatible with the 08's also ..?

VF48 turbo on 08 STI - slightly larger than VF43 is what I'm hearing but no stats yet. Also 01 - 05 dump pipes do not bolt on to 08's so possibly some issues??

only ecutek available now - no verso, autronic, motec (not far away)

Perrin intake pipe for 01 -07 's is a direct fit.

that's all I know atm.
