If they had white with the tan interior....I would get it. I am a sucker for tan interiors in white cars

bayson r sti lip kit $349.99
sti ehaust tip $ 94.08 japanparts
knee pads $272.44 japanparts
Total $716.51

Subaru BRZ Premium MSRP $25,595 + $716.51 = $26311.51
Subaru BRZ Limited MSRP $27,595 + 716.51 = $27,595

Still cheaper then the Blue Version minus the blue interior. not adding the $10 caliper paint to red.

You neglected red start button, rims...
Just saying... I'm not sure about the blue interior, but good value if you are into blue interior

Well, in the press photos it looks the same, but we won't be sure until we see the cars side by side in one shot.


Now is only this wasn't limited to 1000 units, I have a feeling my insurance would be higher with a rarer car...

It likely won't. Most insurance companies don't divide a car into every single trim level, unless it has something different about it that makes it truly different. But even some of the AMG cars with the performance packs don't always get rated differently either.

Some insurance comps will. I called in for quote at State Farm for my Prius and they asked what package I have. Package 1 cost less and package 5 cost a bit more. Glad my current insurance comp dont care lol.

It depends though, especially if the VIN is totally different. For example, I have an Evo IX SE, and most insurance companies only classify the IX and the RS, so obviously the MR and the SE fall within the IX. I worked at an insurance agency for six years and could quote with multiple companies, and it was always the same. Contrasting to that, my girlfriend has a Corolla LE, and the rates for the same car varies depending on the VIN. For some reason the ones starting with a J (meaning they were assembled in Japan) were a tad more to insure than the ones starting with a number (meaning they were assembled stateside).

I have one, too. For now. My wife and I decided we didn't need 2 vehicles that would fit the whole family, so my 4runner was swapped for a Rav and our Prius is getting swapped for an FR-S.

Any best guesses as to when we can order these parts from the dealer? I've been wanting an STi start button for a while but I'm wondering if I can save a bit of money buying the domestic market version. I realize they're slightly different with the text layout, but I'm fine with either.
