Well, as I'm in the market for a BRZ Limited and was looking into having JPM Coachworks re-trim the entire interior in blue stitching, this seems right up my alley.
Was looking at SWP anyways, maybe the Crystal White Pearl will be even nicer.

For:
* Blue Stitching (Series.Blue only)
* Floor Mats (blue piping, silver "BRZ")(Series.Blue only)
* Underbody panels (Series.Blue only)
* Shark fin (all 2015s)
* Larger exhaust tips (all 2015s)
* Re-tuned dampers (all 2015s)

Against:
* "Carbon-look" interior texture (all 2015s?)
* 6MT ONLY (Was shopping 6AT due to joint/ankle issues)(Series.Blue only)

Take or Leave:
* STi skirting (don't like the sides, prefer not to come up the side of the car)(Series.Blue only)
* STi illuminated start button (prefer blue)(Series.Blue only)
* Wheels (easy fix)(Series.Blue only)
* Calipers (easy fix)(Series.Blue only)
* 1/2 blue steering wheel and seats (Series.Blue only)

Not quite the slam-dunk when you lay it out this way.
In the end it will come down to, would it be easier to fix the stuff I don't like in the Series.Blue, or to re-stitch a non-Series.Blue in blue?
Starting with this series may just make like easier then I can take the rest one step at a time.
The only real pitfall will be those side skirts, I'm sure there's tape helping those stay on and that could be difficult to remove.
