Hi Everyone! I finally got the BRZ Series.Blue Yesterday! Here are some of the pictures of the car in WRB in Sunlight/Part shade to give you an idea of the way it looks in different lighting conditions. Also, the dealer is going to apply a coating to the paint to prevent fade/minor scratches from occurring and there won't be any change to the appearance. Will post pictures once it has been applied too! More pictures coming soon!

The Car is great and the knee pads are good add-ons to it. The ride still ins't harsh given the more tightened suspension.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is just a cosmetic package, there's no suspension or power upgrades so the ride shouldn't be any different than a base BRZ

Oh no. I meant the suspension upgrade to the ones on 2015 models compared to the 2014's. Sorry for the confusion.

DON'T LET THEM TOUCH IT! They will fuck it up guaranteed and you'll have to go to a professional detailer to fix something that shouldn't have been messed up to begin with.

NEVER EVER trust a dealer to touch the paint.

I have been a little skeptical about it too. I will reconsider it. Thanks AznBRZer

FRS got revised suspension settings but not sure about BRZ. There are larger flange bolts for the engine mount and lower rear shock bolts to improve handling in which the 2014 models already have since October running change.

You also have better aero than the standard model which will be apparent on the hwy at high speeds (the undercover panels and body kit are wind tunnel tested), and lighter rims which you may notice with handling. I wouldn't exactly call this trim just a cosmetic package. Not sure how extensive you've driven the standard model before.

Depends, most of the good dealerships will apply clear bra, but in fact they get someone to come in to do it for them.


Make sure first though!

How'd you get yours so early?! My dealer said sometime in late July that they'll receive it.

Where is this???

The dealer gave me an estimate of July 9 as the ETA. But on Friday I received an email from him saying that the car is here and they are working on fitting all the body kit (this is done for all the Series.Blue vehicles). This is the first car in Texas . The dealer is Brandon Tomes Subaru in McKinney, Texas.

Yeah agreed on the aerodynamic performance over the Premium & Limited versions. I think you will realize the handling more clearly if we drive both versions one after the other. I haven't driven the 2014's much as the chances I got were during multiple test drives and once through a friend who had got one.

I'm waiting patiently along with others from Colorado! I can't wait any longer...especially after seeing pictures from you guys who have already seen and gotten yours already!

I only realized this when I got the underbody panels installed (highway straights) and then two weeks later the STI front under spoiler (highway interchange ramps), and did some commutes on days with high crosswinds. I was quite impress with the subtle improvements on running stability. However I don't have the side skirts and rear spats, only the gurney flap.
