He'll get back to us! I mentioned the embossed contour is slightly different as it's much sharper with the BRZ tS, and the colour is off.

I guess, now we just have to wait and see.

Im in for one if he can produce a close match!

I finally got a chance to try the Sportster CS seats today at the auto show (off a Nismo Juke RS) and the fit is absolutely amazing for a fat guy like me (I rank them right up there with old school Recaro Trophy seats), none of that slim fit uncomfortable bolstering of typical JDM Recaro seats.

Whoever manages to get the STI Recaros for the BRZ won't disappoint.

Night pic of the STI tS dayliner extensions. Some additional pics in my build thread if you care about how it looks when installing or on a SWP BRZ front end. Painted SWP STI front lip and STI skirt lip if you are looking for that as well.

@SPCorBUST looking nice! Did you change the LEDs (both boomerang and drl) or is it just the exposure?

Imagine how awesome it'd look if the drl led strip was the same width as the extension and of a single bar rather than individual led bulbs.

Thanks!

The picture is just some quick editing on the fly via phone.

I wish the drl led strip was more like the Porsche lines. I'd like to see what the light output is like when you frost the interior of the DRL, it may have a nice light bar effect, or, it could looks like frosted glass with 4 bright led bulbs behind it, lol.

I like this car. After all black is not so bad. It doesn't have the aero package which is strange, but I'm not a huge fan of bells and whistles:

That's pretty cool! Thanks for the photo, as I have a SWP and ordered the extensions as well. Now I know how they will look exactly like when they're on!

Cheers!

Yes. I have seen last week at least 2-3 different Ts' cars in Japan dealers booth's. It seems that they are very well thought cars. Trying to combine different performance improvements, but having also in mind the daily drive usability.

The service manager at Subaru, and the owner of the suspension specialist shop over the road that they use both told me the same story, so maybe that is the case, but I can't see why this would be the case. To be honest, I am yet to crawl under the car with the calipers and check for myself... was hoping to one day just get the tS rear subframe and reinstall all 4 into that and swap everything over.... Shitty AUD at the moment has put a bit of a halt to importing car goodies from foreign lands lol!
So yeah,it may be an idea to quickly double to check the sizes before pressing out all 4.
I was wondering what the differences were between the stock and tS rear subframes. Are you (or anyone, for that matter) aware of any other differences?

? Don't think so. The rear subframe upper stopper is different between the 1tS & current tS thou.
