Get the digital fit weathertechs, not the more universal-like that the dealer offers. They are very nice

Those digital mats, part #444821, front only, from WeatherTech or Amazon are about $128. including shipping...USA dollars...so that's about $170. Canadian. Seems best to order directly from WeatherTech, as price is the same once shipping added, regardless of who is selling them.

Congrats on the purchase! Now just make sure that you never, ever mod it if you plan on selling it sometime in the future.

lol no mods planned so far, maybe a few years down the road, but why would you say not to mod it? just for the usualy reason that it doesn't add value? or is there something more specific to it being the series yellow? also if the dealership is offering the front 2 digital mats for 170 cad then should i just grab it from them? seems the price would be about the same. thanks again for all the advise guys!

If its the digital then yeah just get it from them. And dont mod since this car stock will teach you a lot. Learn what you dislike or want to imrove from factory and only then start to mod. And driver mod is the #1

But screw resale. The car isnt rare enough to be a classic for many many many years if ever

It won't rise in value, but it'll definitely hold it's value a lot better than a normal BRZ or 86.

What I should've said is that you can mod it, but don't do anything that isn't reversible.

I would be surprised if a Series.Yellow is worth notably more than a BRZ with PP in the future.


But seeing how Canada doesn't get the PP, you might be right.

honestly i was set on the wrb but just so happened the dealership i went to had the series yellow available and the yellow in person looks really good. Plus the upgrades were nice since no pp in Canada unfortunately. I'm also looking into 3m wrapping the car, do you guys think it'd be worth it to wrap the doors as well? and if anyone could comment on what would be fair prices that would be greatly appreciated thanks!
