At the risk of pooing in everyone's pie here...

1. The areo parts are nice... mixed feelings on the pointless dual tips... love the duck bill spoiler, but surprised to see no park bench.

2. Door sill spacer/stabilizer...? Um. Okay.

3. High flow panel filter and axle back exhaust... um, yeah, thanks for nothing Toyota. So much for a TRD blower, at least for now.

4. All the suspension parts are kinda nice, but they will be overpriced (and in all probablity, less sporty) relative to the plethora of similar aftermarket items that will become available. I'm all for factory tuned springs and shocks, because they already did all the testing (theoretically) to make sure it suits the car, but those coilovers will be expensive as hell and just a relabled set made by someone else anyway.

It's not a bad list for starters, but nothing requiring a fresh pair of underpants.

When I see FI options with factory reflashes, then I may soil myself... at the moment I am underwhelmed... sigh.

What do headers test pipes/high flow cats and better intakes usually make on these subaru motors? Someone will probably make things like that at some point...

Can we hope for more than another 10-15 whp without a tune?

Also, newer Toyota ECUs tend to be less tuner friendly... hopefully a proper tuning solution will be available thanks to platforms used for Subaru (Cobb?)...
