Canada BRZ Radio Trim
 
Friends in the north, I was wondering if anyone would mind putting in a call to their local Subaru dealer and asking about the following head unit trim piece:

I prefer that kit over the one shown below, which as I understand it is what pretty much all of the aftermarket kits look like.

If someone wouldn't mind asking about a price, I would greatly appreciate it. Assuming that it isn't too expensive I might ask for a hand in ordering this piece. Thanks for any and all help!

I have the same question in at my local dealer. The parts guy is tracking this down for me. I will post as soon as I have the part numbers and / or how to order in Canada.

I am almost done wrapping all the interior silver parts with 3M 1080p in Anthracite (aka silver carbon fiber). The dash is my last part.

Yeah, that's the idea I had. I'm going to wrap the interior in my FR-S, so this trim kit will finish everything up and make it look much cleaner. Please let us know what you hear!

There's the color difference (but he's wrapping the interior pieces any way), but I believe the BRZ radio trim pieces are a little better fitting and more flush vs the aftermarket kits.

By the way, that top pic is my interior.

Correct, the aftermarket dash kits leave a bigger, more noticeable gap between the head unit and the dash trim. The stock one fills the space better because it's not a universal kit.

And sorry for borrowing the pic of your dash, it just happens to be such a perfect example of what I'm looking for.

Oh no worries at all. Use it as you need! :)

Still no word from the (Subaru) dealer. I will try to find a moment to ask Toyota / Scion this week.

Do you have a part number or anything for it? I figured it would only be available from Subaru in Canada.

MiniGuy 01-30-2013 03:10 AM

No part no. So far. I removed them from the head unit and no part number. Also noted that they are "made in Japan" - maybe japanparts can find them for us? If they do, they will be $100 landed.

I should have a moment on Friday to bug my dealer again - my weekly ritual.

Any word from the dealer? I'm tempted to try my luck contacting someone as well.

MiniGuy 02-06-2013 11:56 PM

Sorry, I checked in on Friday. - No luck. Time to start calling other dealers.
