HI,

I did read your build thread.

I did not find the detail related to "rear and lateral link assemblies".
What things did you install related to that?
Could you describe the different between the before and the after?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if the airbag in the Recaro is in the same position as the airbag in the standard/current seat?

They could've at least made new tail lights.

i think for the amount of money spent on these parts separate from the car itself it would be cheaper to buy the tS than a BRZ limited and add all the same parts. even in japan. it's great value for the parts according to subaru japan.

the fun of the car is making our own version of the tS. besides what a horrible name! ts? really?

Meh... most of our PDX drivers have better modded cars than this tS offers. Also, I'm sure u will pay dearly for this package when you can get better equipment and a more customized feel by doing this work yourself.

I can see this being neat for new buyers with some money burning a hole in their pocket, but this is definitely not a "sell my current FR-S and run out and buy the tS Brz" type of situation.

also.... those wheels are.... boring....

HI,

What's the color of the STI fender trim? Silver or Chrome?

It looks like silver for me. I am not sure.

How do you think?

Thanks.

It's silver. It matches the look and texture of the sti badges that they use for their lip kits

Did any people know how they mount the STI badge in the front?

I thought that they will release the new grille for that.


However, I did not see the new grille on the list.

Thanks.
