    Well its offical, got the paper work, and the car is being shipped as of today! Cant wait to get it. Here are some pics the owner took for me. I should have the car soon about 12 days. So far i have a 2.5rs hood from 95lwrx. And i also ordered a new shift boot to replace the hidous shifter currently on the car. And i am in the process of getting stock fogs for the front bumper.

    Vehicle Description
    * 1998 Impreza L Coupe 2.2L
    * Manual 5 Speed transmission
    * Current mileage is 106,000 miles

    Suspension
    * 06 WRX struts.
    * Tanabe lowering springs. (going to be replacing with my prodrive springs)

    Exterior
    * Complete brand new Java Black paint job. All door jams, seals, trunk, under hood, and even engine bay was painted.
    * 99-01 RS front new bumper.
    * 99-01 RS head lights.
    * New clear side markers.
    * New clear bumper lights.
    * New V5/6 grill.


    Interior
    * RS black front and rear seats.
    * RS black interior panels.
    * RS black door panels.
    * RS black center console.
    * Kartboy black shift knob.
    * Viper alarm.
    * Eclipse stereo.

    The last picture is of the new grill mocked up, and will fit when i get my new hood!

    yea i had orginally contacted the seller about it early january, and he backed out and decided to keep it. well he contacted me a couple weeks ago and said he had to sell it so i bought it. Are you saying people are looking for the stock shift boot? or aftermarket one?

    Congrats. It looks like a very nice car. That java black puts my paint to shame. Makes me wish I would have gone the L way. Would have left me with some extra moneys to play with
