Options: Foglights, STi Short Throw Shifter, LED dome, and red footwell lighting

You went with Foglights? The tS comes with an exclusive fog light delete mesh panels that were originally only on the 2018 tS. I’d be interested to see pictures.

Has anyone ordered with the STI Lip Kit? I feel like that should have been standard and really sets off the white nicely. I was quite surprised to see it missing when they decided to bring it back for 2020.

Have you driven the car with both the standard shifter and the STI short throw? What kind of reduction in throw are you experiencing. It’s quite an expensive short throw option for an alleged 10-15% reduction in throw vs the 50-60% reduction from the IRP. It’s surprisingly to hear some folks now saying it’s a very noticeable difference, so I was looking for additional feedback.

Also - I see you are new here and likely new to platform, so, welcome. But if you looked, I own an built 2018 tS, been on here for quite some time, and have a pretty good knowledge of the platform. Welcome to FT86, but let’s try not to be so, for lack of a better word, “man-splainy” on topics rather rudimentary.

I'll admit I am new to the BRZ world (not just the site) and I was not looking for much more than a fun to drive car.

I spoke extensively with the dealer about the factory shifter and if it was any different because all of the reviews and first looks had a short throw in it. I was told all tSes come with a short throw but the STi upgrade is definitely a different shifter. My window sticker also reflects it as a port-installed option. From what I saw in print the standard shifter comes with a leather knob on the tS.

I cannot really say if it feels any different than the factory shifter but it is worlds apart from my tC. That said, my decision to order the STI Short Throw was not really a matter of function, but rather what options would be
difficult for me to install down the line.

Here is an outside pic of the foglights in the daytime. Not the best picture but it's the first time I laid eyes on her.

I love the footwell lighting. It adds something to the car that I can't quite put my finger on. I think it's that most cosmetic features are under the hood or outside the car, and this is one you can enjoy as the driver.

Is that the stock badging? "BRZtS" in the grill?

[2020BRZtS]

Yes, the badging is stock.

A bit different than my 18' tS... also noticed that the seats said "BRZtS". Mine just say "tS". What else is different on the 2020's?

A few more pics for your viewing pleasure.

Just signed the papers on mine.

I'm having the STI Aero Kit and Fog Lights installed.

Hoping it will be ready for pick-up on Friday.


Future plans include Toyota Sliding Center Arm Rest, MTEC Clutch Spring, STI Short Shifter and CORSA Catback.

Yes - only 300 in the US. I tried to do some research but not having much luck. I think it's too early in the year to compile a list. My VIN ends in 0484 and took delivery in December a week before Christmas. What are the last four digits of your VIN?
