If weight (rice) is added without a power increase , then it will be slower.
Instead of adding rice , make a lighter and more power full STI version.

Most importantly, No STI gauges?

Consider as a poor man's tS... Too bad it took so long for the aero parts to come stateside, I would've at least gotten the front lip upon delivery.

I can easily do all of that for less than $500! (Except the blue stitching)
For anybody who has a WR blue BRZ, just purchase the bayson r body kit, paint the calipers red with VHT paint and plastidip the stock rims black and boom!!! You have the 2015 series blue STI BRZ!

Unpainted body kid and questionable aesthetic mods come stock now?

Thanks for listening to your customers, Subaru, this is exactly what nobody wanted.

Drebin252 · 05-30-2014, 08:00 AM

The blue interior, that is all I need.

Subaru probably saw all the 16 year old's cars who bought knock-off lip kits and couldn't afford to have them painted, but installed it anyways.

They are listening to their customers. The wrong ones.

Just because it isn't body colored doesn't make it "unfinished" or "unpainted"... or a bad thing for that matter.

I think the car looks great except for the exhaust tips and all the STI logos. I'm not a fan of all the STI stuff. I wasn't a hardcore Subi fan before the BRZ, so I guess I fail to understand the importance of having STI badges.
The blue stitching looks great. I also like how they changed up the dash panel from silver to black. If they had offered blue stitching in 2013 then I probably would've gotten a WRB over SWP.

You wouldn't have had to pick WRB over SWP as half of the Series "Blue" come in Crystal White Pearl which is basically SWP.

Shared this with my wife, as she's not a fan of the red interior stitching in my car ("makes the shifter look phallic").

Her response?

"it looks like cookie monster's car"

I'm with her. Not amused.
