Dechroming the rear is the best first cosmetic mod you can do, nice work.

Car looks tidy, welcome to p-wrx. What are your plans for the car?

Regarding the Cobb Access Port, last time I checked there is no support for it Perth and it doesn't work on Australian ECUs.

Beat me to it.
There isn't any official support for the Australian market, plus with local tuners just around the corner you would be foolish to not use a product that offers local support should any issue arise.

The Perth Workshops thread will list some of the tuners based in Perth who can deal with the WRX.

Depends on what you call expensive and who does it.
I would rather have a proper tune done by some one locally than purchasing an e-tune or online tune for a couple of hundred.

Best bet would be to contact any of the tuners listed in that thread, explain your situation to them, what outcomes you are chasing and then see what they quote.
