That was my biggest concern before we go the car. :P I even had to fix the garage entrance so we could get it in there… (it's an older rental and there has been some… settling…). It's good and flush now, so if we ever get the rest of the car, we'll be set…*

Good to know most aren't having troubles. It's not like we've got "high" cars otherwise, but they've got pretty decent clearance that there's never been a problem. I think we'll definitely have to shovel this winter if we want to take it out though as I'm sure it won't make it through the 5-6" guide we've tended to use…

*(our dealer traded to get our .blue for us, and is still arguing with the parts manager at the other dealer to get the rest of our car— their guy doesn't want to admit that the random '15 aero kit they got in actually goes to OUR CAR…)

MSRP, they weren't willing to negotiate on the price since it's a limited edition. I also walked in the day it came off the transport truck and asked to start the paperwork before they'd even installed the aero kit. So they knew I wanted it bad, but oh well. They did work with me on my trade however and gave me more than I expected to get.

Other after market wheel lock set doesn't quite fit on STI wheel, due to the short stubby of the STI wheel nuts.

I hope this help!

This. I have them installed on mine.
The dealer threw them in since my car was delayed more than once.

Awesome, I just contacted Heuberger to see if they have the wheel locks. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with any, as they are the standard lug nuts, but hopefully they respond soon!

I know my dealership had to play around with the screws because they had to drill the holes so maybe they didn't follow the template exactly.
Looks like it's just some adhesive holding it down.

They are installed at the dealership so I would start with them.
Let us know how it goes.

Here is what mine look like.

Service manager at Serramonte Subaru gave me the run around. Pretty much told me there isn't anything he could do because they are unable to order specific Series.Blue aero parts, but only the entire kit (Front lip, side skirts, and rear under spoilers all together) since the Series.Blue is so new. I thought that was total BS, so I emailed SOA about the situation. Will be going to Putnam Subaru in Burlingame on Wednesday to have their service department check it out while they install my rear bumper diffuser. ($95 for install labor at Putnam vs. $140 at Serramonte...)

I tried going to Serramonte Subaru and I found them rude and not very helpful. They also would not sell the car for MSRP.

That is why I got my car from Albany which offered me $700 under MSRP price.

Here are the part number in case you need. (it's also in the 2015 BRZ accessories brochure)
STI under spoiler, front reg.$399.99, E2410CA000
STI under spoiler, sides reg.$499.99, E2610CA000
STI under spoiler, rear sides reg.$335, E5610CA100

Good luck.
Let us know if Putnam is any better because I am looking for a good service center.

Google the part number and you will find it online for cheaper.

Did you buy these just as back ups? I've got floor mats from Target covering mine so they would probably stay in tip top shape for a long time.

nigeljdmparts has it for 89.99. It's "JDM Style", so probably not an OEM part.

For double the price you can get OEM from japanparts.com

Yep. I have all weather ones too but the Blue ones look a lot nicer.

Anybody else having problems with the navigation? mine is horrible...sometimes getting my bearings all wrong (facing north, south etc) and sometimes when im on the highway it tells me im off-roading! Any fixes? Should I bring it back to the dealer? I general prefer not to deal with dealerships as if find them all to be A**holes.

Navigation is going to depend on it's ability to communicate with the satellites, so if it's wonky it's probably that.

I don't ever use my nav though as I have a phone that's much faster to use and gives better directions and traffic updates.

Any suggestions for a cell phone mount? Picked up the car last weekend and already have given up on the stock nav.
