Detachable sticks to bite down on.

You guys are joking, but I know there's a whole lot of you going to trade in your '13s for the '14s.

[JOKING] They're going to remove the Subaru from the trunk so in 2015 they can put Turbo there. [/JOKING]

I would really like the knee pads...

PoWn3d_0704 · 07-02-2013, 02:17 AM

The knee pads are so trivial. The only real reason I would have to trade in my car would be for a significant upgrade in power that could be had under warranty.

Exactly, I can't remember the last time I had to kneel against my interior while driving. I have them and make no difference to my knees resting on these or the interior of my Corolla, they do look good though..

Joking aside, I'm hoping that we get the Aha firmware updated for free or for a very low cost for our 2013s, and I'm really curious as to whether the kneepads will be the same as the JDM ones, or something different. Either way, I'd hope that they would be nicer than our current ones, and hopefully readily available for 2013 owners, cheaper than the ~$250 it takes to get a full set of JDM ones with the speaker grilles. I was an idiot and I scuffed up the one on the right side of the center console in a couple places while disassembling the radio (I put something over the shift knob to protect it but completely forgot about the kneepad), so I'm putting my plans to replace it on the back burner in hopes of the 2014 bringing a good kneepad to the market.

I'm mildly curious about the new badging. The current badging is pretty standard Subaru - Pleaides clusters centered front and rear, with Subaru in small text to the left and the model to the right, same as every other Subaru available. I'm not sure if they intend to remove the word Subaru and possibly relocate BRZ to be in a similar spot to the FR-S, or if they've got a cool new BRZ badge, or if they want to put more crap on it (Really, Subaru? You needed a badge on my old Legacy GT to say that it was Symmetrical AWD?).

Either way, the tiny trunk lid is too cluttered with Subaru [Pleaides] BRZ, especially with the spoiler and the chrome tail lights, and I think my car looks far nicer debadged. I can't see myself rebadging unless they come out with something really cool in place of the Pleaides. I could see them doing a fancy Pleaides in a different color, but having GBS, the field of the Pleaides is a very nice match, so I wouldn't go to a red and black one or whatever ricey crap Subaru decides is cool, IF that's even the badge they decide to revise.

If that's the case I'm glad I got the 2013. Glowing badges are going to look so tacky and lame, IMO.

Couldn't agree more. Why is it that these things can't be consolidated into similar threads (like the "BRZ orders open" thread)??

OP, please check this link out:

Need knee pads?

JPM knee pads. Done and done. Wrapped in whatever fabric your little heart desires! Lol

As for the updates, I would hope that they would be available for the 2013 owners. Especially if it is something like software for the radio.
