Looking for something to change that's not too expensive.

Anyone change their side marker yet?
Lol you're doing the same things I did. What spacers and springs did you get?

Pics later in the morning.

I meant, I'm going to wait on the spacer and shocks/springs for now.

Here is what I've done so far...
1. Xpel
2. Tint
3. Exhaust Tips
4. Rearview Mirror with Homelink
5. Rearview Camera
6. Wheel Locks
7. SPT oil cap and battery hold down
8. Skene front license plate holder

Go Giants!!! Beat LA!

The clutch is fairly forgiving, but I've noticed the engine will stall out at the drop of a hat if you don't give it enough gas. Don't worry, though; you'll get used to it fast.

Just confirming, but the kit on the .blue is the same as the OEM that will be available for '15, right? I only ask as we've had some drama with ours as our [awesome] dealer traded with another [ultimately not so awesome] dealer for us to get our .blue, and then had to argue with them that the kit actually belongs to our car… After some back and forth between our guy and their guy, they at least now admit that they *do* owe us the rest of our car (ie, the aero kit), but now it seems they have lied about having it around (apparently they sold it or something, who knows) and have it on order from Japan now…

VERY glad we went with our guy as at least he's making sure we get the rest of our car and glad that we didn't deal with the place not to far away who had it (we actually looked at it in person there, and they didn't realize it was a .blue… it turned out to be the one that our dealer traded for). But I'm just wanting a little more reassurance that the kit, when it finally gets here, will be the same one the .blue is supposed to have. Since the .blue is essentially a "highly accessorized" Limited, I'm thinking it is.

Luckily our dealer's service guy has been installing stuff for decades, and we already have a great history with them with our WRX, so that's not a concern… And we've been able to get our break-in done in the 3.5 weeks we've had most of our car (so it's now a blast to drive around not worrying about 4k). It'd be nice to just have the whole thing!

btw-- if anybody goes to Subaru in Moline-- know what you're supposed to have ahead of time, and make sure you've got everything before doing anything with them… Not sure if they're actually shady or just a bit uneducated on their cars or what…

After doing all my research I'll say yes series blue is a limited with blue accents inside and outside accessories.

I guess I was lucky when I bought my Blue last week. Walked into the dealer and the only BRZ they had had been offloaded from the truck that morning and it was a White Series.Blue. Snatched it up before they even had the plastic off it or the body kit installed.

Did you replace the factory bulb with LED? If so, which color LED?

I was thinking of getting the JDM side markers but with Amber LED bulbs.

@BRZ.SeriesBlue28

I just ordered a pair of the clear side markers. I will be putting in amber LED's inlace of amber bulbs. The removal of the stock yellow and installation is incredibly easy. They just snap out and snap in.

Here is a video of the install.

Yes, the pieces are the same. I'm unsure of everything that gets installed at the dealer on the Series.Blue though. I don't think the underbody panels are part of the dealer install but I'd check.
