Are BRZ .Blue Edition parts easily removable?
 

Hey guys. So I'm mulling the idea of getting a .Blue edition BRZ. Trouble is, while I personally like the blue interior, I am not a fan of the black wheels or the side skirts. Obviously the wheels are easily rectified down the road. My question is, are the side skirts and perhaps those rear spats simply stick-on parts that can be easily removed without any left-over... holes or whatnot? Or are they actually screwed into the body and irreversible? I know they are installed at the dealership after delivery, so that makes me think they are probably just "stickers" that can be removed, but I don't know.

You could just ask the dealer to not install them.

the rear spats have 2 screws, 1 plastic clip, and some double sided tape holding them on. the side skirts look to have a couple of screws and tape holding them but have not looked underneath yet.

Gah. (This is in reference to a vehicle already assembled on the lot.)

Well you could ask the dealer to remove them as a condition of the sale

Ya, I wouldn't ask the dealer to remove them upon sale UNLESS of course they give me the parts... They better not keep that. Those OEM pieces are worth a bit, even the wheels.

Yeah that's what I meant

If you take them off I would be very interested in buying them.....

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a Limited on discount, and buy the blue seats from the dealer?

But you wouldn't have the blue steering wheel or blue stitched interior

So I looked at the car. Also confirmed with the tech who installed them. Was told they are easily removable. Looks like they screw in underneath and on the ends and have adhesive behind them. Doesn't look like anything that affects the sheet metal. This is good.

Sell me the rims and I'll give you the stockers D:

Why not just buy a Premium? and forget about a Series.Blue? The price difference is essentially the price of the skirts and rims...

There are lots of other nice touches to the Series Blue... the entire interior, for example. The only things I might be getting rid of are the side skirts and spats. Everything else is staying. Even the wheels will be used for my winter tires. In fact, I might just leave everything. It's growing on me :P

There are a couple members who painted the top half of the sti parts body color and left the bottom edge black. Looks 100X better IMO.

Can't find the thread but, here are some of the pictures.

That looks so nice. IMHO they should have come painted to match from the factory!

that's a great idea on partially painting them. I just might do that. :highfive:

Or keep them and trade them with rims he likes. I've had multiple trade offers of great looking rims for my STI's haha. As for the STI skirt, that's an easy couple hundred if he sold that as well.
