I plastidipped the two big dash pieces black. Looks much better, but the texture is a bit "grippy" - feels like I should throw on some sort of gloss or clearcoating. |

This seems like a cost cutting move, to consolidate paint and parts with the WRX.

Too lazy to read all 11 pages from the 86 post, not sure if people have posted this yet. The BRZ should be similar, I guess ?
The carbon look dash that people was wondering. Looks similar to tS version. The bolts that everyone was talking about Sachs Shock Absorber 18" BBS Wheels It would be nice if the BRZ gets the concept BBS. http://www.speedhunters.com/wp-conte...S-2013-111.jpg |

1. Body rigidity up - bolts for front suspension member - bolts for rear strut 2. Exterior changes - Ice Silver Metallic & Crystal White Pearl - Roof fin & shark fin (it's more for base & G model in Japan) - Install panel & steer wheel update 3. Genuine Parts - BBS 18's - Sachs struts hope that helps |

Is it just me or is the silver closer to the 10 Series' color?
I wonder what the steering wheel update is. I don't see anything different on the one in the picture.

I think 2.3 means instrument panel only and nothing mention about steering wheel update. |

Those Sachs shocks and BBS rims are the new Tada handling pack.
I wonder if the new bolts are to stiffen the subframe / suspension so to better handle the 18" wheels. |

I wonder how much more they'll charge for that if they even offer it here in NA? I'm guessing it will probably something stupid like $3000 extra.

I don't care *where* you put that button; I would *love* to see rev-matching on a MT in this car. Even after driving MTs for decades, I still mess it up from time to time. I've actually been tempted to buy an AT BRZ due to my occasional sloppiness - and also for the better MPG, which blows my mind.
