According to the 2018 BRZ Accessory catalog, the tS can have fog lights

And it's a different part number. I wonder if it includes a foglight surround with the honeycomb pattern that the tS uses. How rare would that specific part end up being 20 years from now....

From the installation instructions it appears to be the normal foglight surround.

What I don't like about the install is the toggle switch for the fogs...have been trying to find out if the ts comes with the limited or premium style headlight stalk. From the ones from the first shows to now looks like the one at subifest had the limited style and the ones in the autoshows have the premium style. I know it's cheap to buy the stalk but can you swap it easily without having to remove the steering wheel?

It looks like the difference in the tS and non tS kits is the tS kit includes the outboard grille inserts too, since the tS inserts don't match up.

So yet another "upgrade" that replaces a tS-specific part with standard pieces.

I actually think the BRZ looks way better without fog lights. The fog lights themselves look awkward with the slightly recessed look.

Does anyone have the part number for the 2018 nav radio?

Also I'll be adding news articles and videos. Eventually those will be transferred to the future owner's registry if I'm able to start it first, nbd though haha.

ALSO as of now I can only track 405 VON's for the tS. Either one Subaru region hasn't gotten their distribution yet, or Canada's 100 units were being considered in the 500-unit count. Reserved and Sold Order vehicles aren't counted, but really does anyone really think 95 people have already reserved a tS?

Just heard that Subaru of New England has not received any allocations yet, so that may explain the other 95.

Although US dealers are all saying the cars will be coming in April, multiple Canadian dealers are confirming the delivery of Canadian units are in February.
So it looks like the following, from what I've been seeing;

Japan STI sport and Australian tS; January
Canadian tS; February
US tS; April

A Canadian Dealership already posted theirs on Instagram.

No VINs yet for the U.S. bound cars either. If a VIN appeared tomorrow that would still mean it wouldn’t hit retailers until the 3rd week of Feb at the earliest.

That’s what I thought. New England has a different allocation/distribution system compared to other regions.

And so the dream remains alive... haha. I guess this means NE dealers get ~95 tS, and there are 64 dealers, so hopefully each one gets at least one.

Hi guys, first post on here, long time reader though and massive BRZ86 fan.

Just wanted to share some pictures of the Australian tS which arrived here December 2017.

Available in 8 colours, manual or automatic transmission.

What differences can you spot compared to your upcoming tS?

Random tS goodness...






















^^^?


Just guessing, but numbers look to be limited to around 100, similar to the 2015 BRZ 'Special Edition'....
