Of course they charge 2x "street" price but you keep all warranties etc. I already asked about oil cooler and such workshop refused to install oil cooler for me under warranty (since it's not officially allowed by manufacturer). I've got 5 years extended warranty, 3 years still to go.
Suspension and stuff is relatively low risk so I don't really care about warranty here and I don't have anything against handling mods but engine is sketchy, I wouldn't like to cover replacement on my own in case it blows up xD
Fun fact - you know how US user manual tells you where are jacking points to lift BRZ? We don't have that in EU manual at all. Because you're "not supposed to do that on your own". The same about replacing xenon light bulbs and few other bs things...
I think at some point I'll just decide to screw all of that anyways but well... not yet.

but you do get the explicit track warranty tho, right? I'd prob take that trade. lol
