Yes I know its a BRZ but it is still news about special versions of our car.

To sum it up:
The moniker is still being debated for use in America, but in Japan, tS meant a BRZ that received a long list of hardware tweaks that read like standard tuner upgrades, including a cat-back exhaust, carbon-fiber rear spoiler, front chin spoiler, and 18-inch Enkei alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Brakes were upgraded to larger-diameter rotors and four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers, all by Brembo but branded STI. Also branded STI: a whole bunch of interior upgrades, including aluminum sill plates, a red ignition button, Recaro sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a special shift knob.

No power upgrades
Estimated cost: $36k base |
So basically, nothing I can't do myself.
36k for a modded BRZ, I don't even get to pick the mods, and a bunch of other people will have the exact same thing, and no significant power gains...
Yeah, let me just get out my checkbook.
