No point for me to think about getting hood or roof if I can't color match it to the body.

Why not? You can paint dry and wet CF with the correct prep

Oops?

(for the record, I'm not American either - not that there's anything wrong with that)

[just86]

whats with that wing looks hideous, trying to be different fail, they could just put cf duckbill but nooo

[bungholio]

All I want to know is if the STI will come in 5x114 like its other counterparts.

Okay, I'm ready to share something what Mr. Karamatsu said today reg. my direct question of BRZ STI

"STI is working on finalizing creation of the special version of BRZ, which would be unveiled in "some time" (secret). Turbocharger is NOT in the concept of this greatly balanced FR sports car, so we would concentrate our developments on suspension, handling, performance improvements and sports styling. The turbocharged version of BRZ will remain only in GT300 Championship"

SORRY GUYS ( Don't kill me, ... Coz' I'm just a soul, who's intentions are good... Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood )



JDM Bless for y'all from Karamatsu-san

From what I've read, the right prep involves sanding down the epoxy layer. This reduces the structural rigidity of the part. Sure you can paint it, at the cost of having part that performs below par.

That's not true. Also, when it comes to true dry CF it can also be painted

[Mr86]

one question... Are they gonna bring this car over here in the USA? or is gonna be for sale in Japan and the UK market like the TRD Gt86

Karamatsu-san uses the Jedi Mind Trick on us:
"You don't need a turbo. Move along."

Cools, but the STi hood + roof aren't dry CF... they're wet CF which is a downer

Side note, it would be great to run CF hood, roof, front fenders and front bar (painted body color of course). Think of the modding philosophy of z-tune r34 gtr - complete CF front end.

wet is typically easier to paint compared to real dry cf

It will probably be a Japan only BRZ tS release like they have with the Impreza, Exiga, Legacy etc. I'd expect a turbo version, if any during the midyear refresh or at the end of the chassis lifecycle.

Just make the parts available at U.S. dealerships is all I ask! I can't afford the crazy-ass JDM tax and shipping they're asking right now!
