Yes it is a scam considering they don't even have an option for 2013 FRS or BRZ

If you think it's a scam, chances are it's a scam. "Too good to be true" and all that jazz.

Just get it off the trusted vendor sites known around the forum community or Amazon. I mean, you are in need of a "deal" for a drop in air filter? If your dilemma is a drop in filter cost, then why did you buy this car?

Autoanything is a reputable website. You need to make sure that this is the correct filter though. The filter that our cars require is the K&N 33-2300, IIRC.

The prices shown are a RANGE for a variety of different filters. And no filter is shown for the FR-S / BRZ.
I've done business with AutoAnything for years, top shelf customer service and prices comparable (or perhaps a little better on sale) with most others. So what's your question?

Another +1 for AutoAnything. Sometimes their prices appear to be higher, but that's because it includes shipping.
When I bought my car cover from them the price was identical(well, 1 cent apart) to everywhere else once shipping was factored. |

Don't listen to idiots suggesting that you buy only from "trusted vendors around the forum community". You'll get the same filter regardless of who you buy it from so why pay more?
The best price today is $26.30 shipped and that is a steal! This filter typically costs ~$40 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/370831059443?lpid=82 |

I bought a borla cat-back from them once. Had an issue with the resonator on it being damaged. They helped me with a shipping label to get it sent back and a new one sent my way. autoanything is legit. with that being said, their website can be a little tough to navigate considering how much merchandise they offer. |
