AFAIK no one has done this Perrin shifter, but my recommendation is to use the Cobb 6mt Liberty/Legacy specific STS.
I believe there are some differences between STi and LGT 6mts, please correct me.

It looks like Perrin sell the adapter for WRX and a complete shifter (with modded lower part) for STi.
A member installed a Kartboy STi STS but is having reverse lockout issues, cable end too long.
I have seen a Lib 6mt specific adapter on a site in Japan... Not sure what is required to mount it though but I can look at my old shifter to get an idea..

The TB STI comes with a shortened throw from factory. Can't beat OEM.

What are you trying to achieve? Lower knob height or shorter throw?
