Had to go look again, looks like Sewell has 2 WRB's in stock still. Weird that I didn't notice them. Also curious is that several other dealers are listing some as in transit still, so maybe they're not all in the wild yet.


I went to look at it out of curiosity and decided in person the blue interior and the paint looks great (they had a 2014 WRB to compare). Had to bite the bullet after that cause the car was too sexy to pass up

Got my car tinted today and guess what I saw. Another BRZ in my neighborhood getting a matte bra from the same place I got my clear bra done. I was told it cost $4k to do the entire car.
This is the third Series.Blue he has worked on within two month.

Hello, just bought my 2015 Series Blue in white and love it. The community on the other hand is terrible. I've been an STI owner since it's introduction to the US market and it's been awesome. I have been a member of Shelby GT 500 forums and have the same feeling about that community. Strange that I hated the car (build quality). My favorite is the GTR community.. Loved my 2012 Nissan GTR.

How is the community terrible? Every toyotbaru owner I've met is pretty awesome. Maybe just your area?

Except one on the ft86 subreddit. He's a twatwaffle.

Actually I have local owners/friends that are awesome. Should have been more specific...online community. I posted on here because I used the wheel directory for ideas. I couldn't find the wheels that met my needs/wants...never the less pics helped. I did post the wheels I bought to return the favor. Seems like there are many tool bags on here though. People that just want to post to post in even if they have no actual interest. I was thinking it's the lower cost of entry. Anyway probably way off topic. Speaking of cost of entry.

Looks like many people got the car for a good price. I was 30000 and change OTD

Really dumb question guys, but for the series blue, what kind of tires are those?

I'm assuming summer tires, which should be good with the rain also?

Can anyone provide a link from michelin website?
There's no 2015 BRZ option on their website

Thanks in advance

For those of you who are thinking of installing the Subaru homelink rearview mirror. It only took 20 minutes and that includes using a torque screw driver.

Having a LED mirror helped with finding the wire (white connector wrapped in grey form).

Here is the post I used and a picture of where the connector is located since it seems to be hidden and taped down. Don't be afraid to grab the connector and wire and pull as it's taped down.

I know, right? If I didn't have tint, I'd want the auto-dimming feature badly.


Kinda off topic, but anyone have a part number for the floor mats? I know the normal floor mats are known for wearing out fast, and I'd like to see if I can get a replacement set of the blue stitched ones to keep on hand. I don't plan on ever selling the car, but if I do I'd like to have stuff like this...

I love the convenience of the homelink so that was really the reason I got it.
