and Like I said in another post.
There is nothing keeping someone else from recreating what you did. You are not unique.

While it may only apply to handful of people, if you think about it, it's kind of the same between the wrx and wrx sti. You can buy a wrx for like 8k cheaper than an sti and with that money, you can build something pretty cool, or basically build an sti. However, by spending the extra on the upgraded version (sti) from the get go, you end up not having/wanting to adress a lot of things.
For instance, the sti has the better transmission, better overall drivetrain, better brakes, better wheels etc etc etc.
The BRZ Ts is basically a BRZ limited with some of the extra boxes checked. So for somebody who wanted a BRZ with better brakes and better or additional interior/exterior accesories, the Ts offers that. All that would be left is maybe a set of wheels and more power if they chose.
If the BRZ Ts was offered here and I chose to get one, I would simply get a set of 18" Advans, KW Coilovers, and the JR CARB legal supercharger kit and be done with it. Where as right now with a current BRZ limited, I would want those pieces in addition to: Brembo brakes, STI lip kit, gunrey flap, STI interior pieces, etc etc and the list goes on.
To some people, it's worth it to spend the extra up front and less in parts, while others would rather spend less up front and spend more making it something very specific to their liking.
Neither way is wrong though.
