Even though I do agree with you, I test drove one and saw one in the opposite laNe direction, it actually looks very good.
What I was surprised at though is that there is very minimal difference between Blue Series and Limited edition, either way it's still a cool vehicle.
Oh and the keyfob looked sweet, that right there makes the world difference lol.

Ya the fob and keyless entry are very nice. Makes me feel like I am starting up a (insert favorite scifi vehicle here) and its ready to blast off. I thought it looked really nice in white, but with the blue interior was almost off balance if that makes sense. The white/black exterior was spot on stormtrooper territory, if they had kept a white/black interior to match I might be driving a white one now. The blue on black ext and blue on black int won out for best look if you ask me.

In person the blue interior is really good even on white. Any blue series owner is gonna be really happy. Exterior only wise white/black brings out more contrast.

I actually received my Blue.Series BRZ two days ago! Been loving it. I'm really glad the Heuberger managed to ship it out early enough for me to take delivery before I left for vacation.

I did drive it for a day before having to leave it at home because of vacation, but once I get back, I am driving it every time I get the chance haha.

Really happy with everything, everything is flawless, and shipping from Colorado was excellent.

After a long process of waiting for the body kit to be installed, I finally drove it home. The dealership didn't realize it was a dealer install. First they couldn't even find them which had me worried.

Now waiting for the rearview camera that I ordered. Planning to do the install myself.

Next week I have an appointment with my clear bra and tint guy.

yeah the dealership I got mine at a month ago didnt know the body kit was standard either

post a review of the new camera or a DIY of how to install it. I'm thinking about getting one now. So hard to see anything behind you in this car.

Exactly the reason why I'm getting the camera. Will post a picture when done. Subaru really needs to re-think the rearview camera option. I thought it was a standard in CA for 2015 but guess not.

Just picked up my CWP on 7/31. The dark-grey w/ blue interior accents give the car a more upscale feel IMO, as opposed to the light-grey w/ red stitching, which I've always thought looks cheap.

To those who say the blue interior is weird on any color outside of blue exterior, that's like saying the light-grey w/ red stitching on the normal BRZ's is weird on colors outside of grey or red, and that's just complete nonsense. One thing that is weird though is the red illumination lights on the dash/gauges/etc., which should have been blue to complete the blue interior theme.

Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase. No regrets if a 1st-gen turbo comes out w/ the redesign, since I've had a history of bad luck in purchasing 1st-run models. I would however consider trading up for a 2nd or 3rd-gen turbo in 2018/2019. Till then, I'm all smiles like Jeremy Clarkson.

Anybody here installed the OEM-style rear diffuser as well? I want to see how it looks with the stock rear quadrant under spoilers and bigger exhaust tips that we got.

both of the WRB Series.Blue cars they had were the same price, so i either got it for free, or someone is paying for one and not getting it...
