The dealership close to me apparently has a white Blue Series in stock. I'm going there Friday to get my 22,500 service. I'll try to snap some pictures next to my car. The dealership website says they're getting 3 WRB and 3 CWP...so that's cool. I'm curious what they would charge to throw on the STI lip kit on my car. I'm guessing somewhere around $1,500ish...but I want to ask just out of curiosity.

First; the wheel gap is "sortof" an eyesore, but not that bad in person. Might have to rethink of lowering the car 1 inch because the front lip is already really low to the ground. I took a pic of my shoe under it, once i figure out how to post it i will. The car with the skirts is much lower to the ground than i anticipated. It looks great.

The gap is annoying, but the unevenness of the gap when it's only lowered 1" bothers me even more, the side gap is only enhanced. But I can't go lower than that because my driveway will destroy the car if I do.

Serious catch 22. Cannot decide. :x

I'M SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED

Second; the CWP. It was really sunny today and when the sun hits the CWP it looks awesome. Thank GOD. It looks much better than it does in pictures. In pictures the car just looks white and shapeless, but in person all the pearls come out; green, pinks, yellows. Its sparkly! All the curves of the car show in person. I must say i do like it very much. When i took pics (iphone) and looked at them then looked at the car it was so different. Its a must see in person to describe. There was no SWP around to compare it to. I took an up-close pic of the paint and will post.

Third; The interior. So i thought that the interior would look cheap and I was very indifferent about it when i bought the car. BUT now seeing it in person it actually looks very nice. The blue colour looks rich and not cheap and the stitching is very well done. I actually prefer this over last yrs model with the red stitching. The blue interior with the white exterior looks great. I was at first thinking i should get the WRB to match the interior, but im now glad i didnt. It pops with the white exterior and looks like a custom job. Well done Subaru. The brz stitching on the seat is just OK - i dont prefer it, but its well stichted so whatever. Subaru could have done without it.

Forth; frame less mirror - OK guys, this is prob the most insignificant thing on the car, but it has to be my favorite!! ITS LOOKS SICK. Such a simple idea goes along way with this car. Reminds me of an expensive Samsung TV. Again a must see in person.

Overall these are my initial impressions. I'll post pics once i figure it out...

Excellent review! can't wait for some pix!

i agree with Skeet. Serious catch 22 with this model.

The car's stock ground clearance should be 4.9 inches == 125.46mm.

The front lip gives you 40mm less clearance. I have STI pink springs which loses another 15mm. It's not bad just gotta be careful. I haven't rub yet. You can install the STI rubber skirt lip (which loses another 20mm) onto the front lip if you are worried about rub (I haven't got around doing this yet, it's a lot of tailoring and drilling).

You should bring the car to the next Go For Tea meet to show us.

I cordially invite you and anyone else to 7/11/2014 FRS Fridays w/ a hint of BRZ. Some of us plan to pre-meet at the 7-Eleven a few blocks down on Clairemont Mesa Blvd at 6:45pm for some free slurpees since it's 7-Eleven Day.
