Question: i know the # of people with the 17+ models is limited due to super low sales in north america. Anyone know if with this final iteration of the generation all kinks and issues have been ironed out and the car does not have many glaring mechanical issues? (kinda wanna jump the gun and slap a header + tune on it right off the bat after break-in but maybe i should drive for a month before doing that to make sure nothing pops up?)
No glaring issues and no more problems than any other model of car beyond the first run 13s. In fact very high reliability ratings.

anyone know for jdm trd parts how long they continue to produce stuff after the car itself is no longer manufactured? since i plan to pick up a few jdm trd aero pieces production availability would likely decide whether I add rice before tweaking brakes and suspension
Many of the true JDM TRD parts can only be ordered with an approved VIN number from a car that had them originally. The add on parts of course are not covered by that. I would think that they will be available for a while at least. If you wantta pay the price that is.
