That sucks. I can't understand why they wouldn't take it back... they could just install it on one of the cars on the lot then sell it as a $400 markup, right?
It's the whole linkage STi shifter right? I might be interested if the price is right. I've got the old non-adjustable Cobb shifter, which is real nice, but if the price is right I might be willing to give the real deal a shot, especially if I can toss the Cobb shifter on it too! How much you want for it?
BTW: Don't worry about one of us test driving the EVO... Sergio's already bought one!
