The pictures of the cup holders, pillars, and speakers are pretty unique. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen angles like you got before so it's much appreciated!

This WRB BRZ that I saw had some serious Orange peel...

It's the waviness and rough texture you see in the paint. It usually occurs because of a poor painting process...

Thanks. Now that's a proper lookaround!

So there are tray-covers under the middle of the car? Couldn't make it out from the pics.

P.S. you might want to blur your address though.

Awesome...thanks so much for posting.

It didn't look like there were any plastic tray covers, but the car did appear to be very flat underneath besides the exhaust and the drive shaft cut out.

Thanks for reminding me about that pic. I forgot to delete it from the upload.

Grimlock, thanks for sharing these photos... man that car was dirty btw!

Great pics, cant wait. Exhaust had a litte more rumble to it, than I thought. Did you push in the clutch at all?

I want to Rock plastic on ma wheels.

thanks for the pictures.

Hey Grimlock what did you think of the build quality? I presume the car's been touched by hundreds of people. Anything seem a little off?

Subaruwrxfan · 02-27-2012, 08:32 PM

Wow, really in depth pics, those are awesome! I feel almost like I saw it in person now! So many detailed pics. The video is nice too, it actually sounds better and louder than I thought it was based on the other videos we've seen.

A couple of things I noticed. THe trim on the driver's door handle was a bit misaligned:

and the driver's seat bolster was starting to show the first signs of creasing:

To be honest though, I don't think many people had crawled through the car before I got to it. When I arrived at the dealer, it still had all of its packaging material - white vinyl covering the hood/roof/trunk, plastic seat covers, etc. The odometer did say that it had 138 miles on it though. Everything else looked pretty good, but I didn't check for things like panel gaps in the exterior.

Thanks!

Oh, and one feature I didn't see mentioned anywhere else: Automatic headlights.

Longhorn248 · 02-27-2012, 08:58 PM

I noticed the auto headlights! I'm glad they're there as I've gotten used to having them after a while.

You're welcome. Yeah, I did try the clutch (though only a couple of times now that you mention it). It wasn't linear in it's effort. When the pedal was closer to being fully out the action was easier, then it got harder towards the bottom. It seems like the clutch will engage right off the floor.
