My idea of a "BRZ STI"

Par for course with Toyota (see the TRD/Panasonic Celica, with windshield spoilers, skirt kits, exhaust, big wing, but the same 180hp base powerplant), but a bit surprising from Subaru.

For the tS not entirely just bolt ons, it replaces essentially the entire rear assembly: new rear subframe, control arms, axles, etc. areas of it are reinforced with larger/longer bolts, collars, etc. the ECU is retuned for its sport setting, etc.
