2004 WRX automatic - Pedals, and questions: autoadjusting mirror w/compass, armrest extension.

[Sam Soltan]

Hooray, just picked up my 'ru today, beautiful drive....

but.... isn't it supposed to have the aluminum alloy pedals? I have plain
black rubber floor pedals.

Does anyone have the auto-adjusting mirror and can comment on it?

Any comments on the armrest extension? I found that the bin under the
armrest is a tad small, I prpbably will put it in the first time I bring it
in for service.

Only the manual-transmission WRX has the aluminum pedals. The automatic has
standard rubber-covered ones.

No, but the same question had occurred to me - I'll defer to someone else's
expertise.

It is nice to have - kind of expensive for what's basically a piece of
plastic, though.

I guess it depends what country you are in but in the US, they do come
with alloy sport pedals.

I had a bone stock subaru and later added the factory turbo gauge,
armrest and autodimming mirror. I love all 3! The rearview is a
piece of work--it adjusts the dimming perfectly! The armrest
initially interfered a little with my shifting but I since have
altered how I shift so it isn't a problem and the added storage space
is definitely welcome. It is even two tiered which is extra nice.

only come with regular rubber ones.

I think the alloy pedals only come with the manual tranny, not with the
granny tranny.
