I think a team of us is going to have to infiltrate STI. Who's down for a heist?!

I'm sure the fender trim will be released. It's ez money for sti. That and the bbk I expect to be released (they're essentially the same as wrx sti brakes, so won't cost them as much to produce in mass numbers). Everything else I doubt well ever be released. The seats and wing for sure wont be.

I meant heist for tS badges. I'm hopeful for the fender trim, because, as you said, easy money.

That spoiler I can take or leave. I'm not the hugest fan of GT wings from all angles, only certain angles.

BBK, I don't see that one being much of a problem since Toyota already has their TRD BBK.

There are other suspension bits I noticed in pics that haven't been made available yet. Would be interesting to see those.

Pics:

We've already had the lateral link assy and trailing links available to us, but what about the third STI part? Sorry, I'm not super savvy with suspension...


Also we haven't seen STI struts yet...


I want the STI steering wheel center.


And, as evidence of my newb ignorance, I thought that these were replacements for the struts in the engine from the firewall to the fenders:


I was wrong...

Probably because the rough translation says that it's best to pair with the STI flexible strut tower bar. It does look a bit like it'd go on the firewall but when I really read the translation better and saw several pics of Japanese owners with them installed I got the true purpose.

@Trap63, did Japanparts get back to you on the availability of the other tS parts? I almost know what the answer will be but I've sub'd to this thread anyway just to see the confirmation.

..don't worry but chinese nowadays are able to produce high grade of Ferrari Badge....that seems better than Maranello's plant..... I saw this matter with Abarth....too.
Tributo Ferrari badge series for 500 Abarth @start up had with a consumer price of 400 Euro only for rear trunk, side 180 euro each,....Ebay was totally full of replica for a price of 1/4 of original.....one year later Abarth decide to sell as aftermarket spare parts...to everyone. Now you can buy with a VIN number by dealer....Business is Business everywhere...Italy or USA is the same....

I've never seen the tS badge, replica or not, sold anywhere. Not even on ebay.

Ha,ha!! Just spotted this and had a giggle - http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...ase=1&no=38850

I see it only as a matter of time though if you REALLY want it. There are so many Ts models now that it has to be available soon.

This is the same kinda talk that was goin around about the S203, S204, S401, R205 etc.. All of these badges are now available.

Yeah I came across that last week! "Impossible to order"! haha

Why you say "Ts" when you know it's "tS"?

[Beyer Subaru]

Well I can say at least that the red STI start button is a part available for order, I just installed mine last week.
