Wish it came with better tires and some STI suspension components. It's basically a stock BRZ limited with some STI pieces and blue stitching and upholstery.

Heated seats, foglights, and dual climate control. It's not ALL about racecar. And the spoiler looks nice.

If I'm paying for an STI badge, I should get some STI performance. I'll just take the limited since it has all the options I want. I swear BMW opened a can of worms with their M Sport nonsense. All the car companies are diluting their performance lines.

Remember the jump to remote unlocking doors? The jump to auto unlock and push button start is a bigger. Its so nice to put keys in pocket and never touch them again throughout the day

It looks like flat black plastic in the photos. To me that says "I got the shipment from the Ebay seller, and bolted it on in my driveway."

I think it would look better painted.

And that is my point. Some people enjoy the looks of a lip kit, the black wheels, the painted calipers, and the blue interior. Just because the special editions don't fit what some people want doesn't make them useless, stupid, or a waste of resources. Sure, you could replicate this car with a replica kit, aftermarket wheels, self painted calipers, and some katskins seat covers, but OEM does it better. If they can offer this for a small price upgrade over the Limited, why not? It is a nice looking package, IMO.

There isn't an STI badge on the car that wasn't already on the parts that they added. You aren't paying for an STI badge or STI edition. You are paying for a BRZ limited with some STI dress up parts.

I think the F sport package on the IS is a great option. You get some handling and aesthetic goodies without having to jump up to the $60k IS-F. It is a reasonable middle ground between the IS and the IS-F (same goes for the 3xx and the M3... cost of brakes, tires, etc go up astronomically when you go to an IS-F or an M3 over the more mainstream cars).

I suppose you could get another 911 for your daily driver and keep the BRZ for a weekend/track car.

All I gathered from this is I should be able to buy an OEM shark fin from a 2015 to put on my 2013
