Completly agree - not sure why Subaru didn't # the cars

Also anyway to tell by the VIN # maybe which one out of the 1,000 we each have?

There are a few post out there that state all the Series.Blue have a continuous VIN number so if you can find the first one then you can do the math. That's one theory.

Do a google search using "BRZ series.blue numbered VIN site:www.ft86club.com".

Here are some pics of the LED conversion.

First is the clear side marker with an amber LED bulb.

Close up of the tach to show the real color of the blue led conversion.

Rear and front blinkers after the LED conversion.

And the gage cluster after the blue led conversion.

All that is left is to change the less in the buttons on the door panels. Stopped by the dealership to see if my plates had come in yet and the salesman wanted to see what I had done with the car and he really liked the looks of the clear side marker and led blinker bulbs.

The film was starting to lift on the sharp corners on the spoiler and the door handles. I actually just got it fixed today.

Ahhhhh, yeah, you really have to lock the edges down but once you get them locked in, they're LOCKED in.

Anybody else having issues with the navigation? My GPS often loses its bearings and thinks Im driving down roads that I am not. Anybody know if updates to the SD car will fix this issue? Im using my phone for nav at the moment but it really pisses me off that I have a brand new navigation thats useless!

It is kind of annoying that it seems like an afterthought, but in all honesty I didn't buy the car for the navi / entertainment system...

Still can't believe I got a car with such low numbers and it's so much fun to drive!

Also got a question for all you series owners. I don't have a garage or even a driveway. Where do you guys wash the car? Do you take it to a hand wash?

Just gave my baby her first wash today in the driveway. Waiting for the sun to get to the other side of the house to do the wax.

If I did not have a driveway I would take it to a wash place or to a carwash. Definately wouldn't want to wash it on the lawn or gravel.
