If you are like me you will do everything you can to keep the paint looking as new as possible which means you'll invest into a polisher and DIY. As far as the holes in the bumper go. Either they're there or you spend ~$70 for a side mount which doesn't look as good imo If they are try to get the dealer to discount a little for the hoes. And Finally YOU WONT HAVE TO WAIT for the 13 in the color YOU want.

Lifetime warranty...have you got any experience with them? It's aftermarket (not through Subaru) and says all work has to be done at a certified mechanic...personally I'll be changing my own oil and modifying my car (first few months will bring an intake, exhaust and tune and after Subarus warranty expires it's getting FI). I just don't know that it's actually anything to get excited about if I'm just going to do stuff with my car that will get all my claims denied by the company that runs the warranty program.
I have done 3 test drives in a BRZ and one in an FR-S and I'm not part of the demographic that screams "I'm going to buy your car today" so I was actually shocked how easy it was to take one out, in my search I've also driven a WRX, a Miata, Focus ST, Hyundai Veloster Turbo, GTI, Forester, Forester XT, Crosstrek XV, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some other cars. The ONLY car/dealer I could not test drive was...a Fiat 500 Abarth because "The people who buy these cars don't like having miles on them" at which point the salesmen gave me his business card (printed on printer paper mind you) and went back to his desk. He was the only person at the dealer and as I left I went by ~15 Abarth models on the way out...I highly doubt none of them had miles on them.
As for the dealer wash...I was unaware of the polish fix, I'm just still skeptical as I've never detailed my car or anything so I don't know what works or what doesn't. It probably isn't a huge deal since fairly soon it'll be winter here and doing my own washes is impossible when its 15 degrees out and the water freezes on the ground. I'll just take it through the touchless wash a lot I guess...but I've also heard the touchless wash isn't good? I'll be doing a full detail in the spring though!
As for the holes...I am not going to run a front plate most likely so I just don't want any holes in the bumper. I agree the side mount option doesn't look that great but still I'd rather just not run any plate.
