There is little incentive for the dealer to settle this if OP does not get a lawyer involved. All lawyers are not "bloodsucking parasites," many are problem solvers who are willing to work with you on rates.
What blows my mind is that someone above said don't get laywers involved, and then went on to say that OP should put more "pressure" on the dealer.
Oh yeah? What is a lawyer going to do if not apply "pressure?" OP can do it on his own but it always helps to gave a legal eagle watching your back.
I am just concerned for OPs wellbeing and hope he gets everything replaced without too much of a hassle. No one wants to see a BRZ burned to a crisp because of some shop's apparent goof.

Right. Because it's a good idea to back the dealership into a corner before all other non-legal avenues have been exhausted.
"Lawyer-ing up" is just about the most inflammatory thing you can do. It immediately sets an adversarial tone to the situation. To our knowledge the dealer hasn't outright told him to pound sand.
Until that critical moment, "lawyer up" - aside from being a term on the same level as YOLO - would be a stupid thing to do.
