Ok so I'm stuck up here on site until next week when I can go home and start playing with my beloved STi. Until then the wife is driving it around Perth below 4000rpm for the first 1600kms (at least I hope she is anyway!).

I've tried searching on here, but nothing seems to come up with my specific query, so here goes with my questions for the greater collective knowledge of P-WRX (please point me to any threads I've been unable to search for if they exist, and please excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject - this is my first ever Subaru, let alone STi):

Mods - The general consensus seems to be handling first. Does the MY11 STi need anything in this department? During the short drive I did in it from the dealer to home, everything felt very good. I presume I've already got sway bars, but I guess going thicker is better? What else should I do?

Stereo - It appears the premium Shat Nav version that came in my car (Spec R) does not link to the iPhone for anything other than making calls. Does the iPhone to Composite lead (RCA) sort this out? Will I still be able to run apps like Trapster and have it come over the stero while playing music from the iPhone? Does it show the iPhone screen up on the Shat Nav display? I gather I'll also need to ground the handbrake wire to allow certain features while moving

Body - I'm looking at getting the Venture Sheild stuff put on by Perth Graphics Centre. Anyone done this already? Any comments?

Anything Else? After spending a fair bit on mods for my bike, the wife is keeping a very keen eye on me with regard to the STi, so suggestions along the lines of things she won't notice and things that won't be so obvious on the credit card would be appreciated! But if there are certain 'Must Do' mods, then please fire away.
