While I have made it worse, I bought the car with 80+k miles with a slight wear spot and dented/deconstructed airbag emblem (aren't they supposed to have the clear gel cover over the logo?), now at just under 90k, I'm thinking it's now or never to talk myself into replacng it. Found a deal on Nasioc, and it'll be here in a couple days.



On another note, I (think I) know all the '02-03 WRX had the four-spoke Momo wheels, but did all the '04-'05 have three spoke Momo wheels, or was it an option, and standard was the same leather three spoker as I have in my '07?
I think all the STi's and WRX's '04+ came with the smaller diameter 3 spoke wheels. The 4 spoke Momos were only on bugeye WRX's. But really they are the same large 4 spoke wheels that have been coming on all Subarus since the '90s. The 4 spoke wheel from my '94 SVX is identical to the Momo off my '02 WRX except it's brown and doesn't say "Momo" on it.

In short: the Momo's came only in '02 and '03 IIRC, but there's nothing special about the Momo wheels, they're just labels. I think the smaller wheels are nicer just for the quicker steering feel... though I like 4 spokes better in general just because you can hang a hand from the center of the wheel on long drives.
