Has anyone sourced the red A/C trim? It sure looks nice. I couldn't find it anywhere online.

Anyone happen to know or have a rough idea of what the dimensions are for the "tS" rear badge on the BRZ?

I'm going to attempt to make one

BRZ Ts parts

Once I got them, i was pleased to see that they were held on by only 3M tape and a single screw. So I simply removed the silver STI piece and bought new 3M tape and attached them on to my existing garnish on my car. Turned out MINT!






For those who are looking at the STI fender garnishes but worried about the paint code...

Yeap nothing has changed. That's why I posted this. It's just hilarious that a Subaru dealership would skew information so badly

You must not know dealerships then

Having worked at one, the salesmen are the worst... They take any minor rumor or internet photo and run with it. Its usually the parts department veterans and senior technicians that actually have a clue.

Heh, I have a feeling they might actually try and repaint it the same colour and just add accessories and call it just that with a huge price tag. Either that or their social media marketing person is drunk.

I don't deny the possibility that they could release a series.yellow eventually but this market a car now with false information (the 300 is a dead giveaway)...smh. I called them out on it and actually posed the question of simply why they were taking orders for a car that is a Japan only model. They deleted the whole post and reposted again LOL

Ah, the agony of OCD! Be strong! Think of the current state of your beautiful BRZ as unique and something to marvel over!

Somewhat seriously, though, I think your car is the classiest, most sophisticated looking BRZ I have seen. I think it's the wheels that do it for me, and the silent stealth nature of your mods. You could roll up to the Opera in that car and step out in your tuxedo and no one would take their eyes off you. How about a full page color ad for Rolex?

(I know I go over the top now and again, but I mean it about the car!)

But honestly... why would Subaru do yet ANOTHER special edition color? It's no wonder seeing a Subaru dealership pull this. Every time I go back to my dealership for service I get some bit of misinformation about the BRZ (and sometimes Subaru employees asking if it is all wheel drive). SMH.

Thanks for the head-on photo. I just couldn't understand all the dust being raised over these fog lamp surrounds, but now I see it. The black panel inboard of the lamp makes the bumper area next to the grille look like a strut. Very subtle and elegant; worth all your trouble, I'm sure!

Probably just to use their color palette. They've been doing it with the XV. Only car in their lineup where every Subaru paint code has been used, including the yellow (and now another red limited edition for that car)
