On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

You can get them for less from Tire Rack I think is because PSS is probably Made in USA. Not sure if the Michelin USA factory does Primacy HP but PSS here locally in Toronto isn't exactly cheap (stock size PSS is $760CAD per set and stock size PSAS3 is $590 per set, + 13% tax + $100 labor).

Can't see how Michelin would charge Subaru less to put a higher performance tire on at the factory.

Unpossible! Everyone knows there are no girls on the internets... :p


In all seriousness though I do like the dark silver sti rims. What I really want to know is when are the 15 models going to be announced. >_<

I guess that means no knee pads for 2015? At least the letter didn't mention it...

The knee pads are here for 2015. It's mentioned under the 8th bullet point.

"Interior highlighted with blue stitching on manual transmission shift boot, door trim panels, parking brake lever, steering wheel and newly added knee pads on doors and center console."

That's just for the Series.Blue, I don't think 2015 standard BRZ will come with knee pads. It was supposedly added to the 2014 but it never happened (it went to the FRS instead).

[SennaFan]

Yeah. But the Letter was more detailed on the Series.Blue and not on the Premium and Limited models. Maybe some of these updates will make it to the Limited too. Let's hope for the best.

Well if you think about the cost of the Alcantara seats in Japan (73500yen) and rear wing (52500yen) which are optional on their S-trim, but we get standard on the Limited, I'll gladly buy and retrofit the frameless mirror, stitched knee pads / speaker grills, and aero underbody panels myself (which I have done and much easier than pulling seat covers and drilling trunk I think).

Yeah, I've got a list of GT86 "oem plus" mods that I'd want to install if/when I get a brz lmt. Kneepads, front console, rear seat armrest (from frz monogram), underbody panels, etc.

I don't think there will be, seen nothing about it.

The order sheet I posted only lists the knee pads for Series.Blue
