nope, the doors are VERY easy to take apart, as you can see i replaced my door handles with pull straps and also had the cards wrapped in perforated alcantara. its only a few screws and then a good tug (pull from under neath where the LED light is in the door)

headliner i do not have done, i'm going back and forth wit hit, i don't know if i should do it...because then i'd want to do all the A/B/C pillars and etc. i was thinking of diamond stitching the headliner but then i changed my mind.

I hate red in general. Exterior paint, interior stitching, gauges. It's like a car can't be a performance model with out a little red some where. So I've gotten used to it. The series blue it my dream interior for a twin.

When I was looking at buying a twin I wanted a WRB BRZ but the red stuck out too much for my taste in a blue car. I felt like I looked like Superman

Just get series blue Aozora, the blue interior looks lame in picture but in person is very nicely done. Blame the Photoshop for weird enhanced color on internet.

Agreed. Hated it in the photos. Love it in person.

Before placing my order last week, this very aspect of the WRB exterior in combination with the red stitching was bothering me, and I was thinking that the stitching only looked right on a red, black, or white exterior. And then I saw a '15 WRB Premium in person with the red stitching... It looks absolutely stunning and creates an excitement and unique vibrance to compliment the new WRB.

I'd have to agree, fellow '15 WRB Premium'er

Eh, it's still blue. It's a sports car, not a marine boat. God forbid I have to look at that blue on the steering wheel everyday.

Not sure if they did that on purpose, if so then that's a genetic trait that I wish they could get rid of. I stare at the clock more often than I think, and it irritates me. Reminds me of the old alarm clocks that I had plugged into the wall.

Dude, no shit. I've been on here since 2012. I've read through all the whining and bitching. Best thread so far? The huge cricket thread. Solution? Sell the car and get something else lol. Do people not test drive, check out the car, ask for other options, etc. anymore when car shopping?

A lot of things in this car remind me of my early years of driving. I kind of like it. Its a hit or a miss.

I wish they gave us a choice other than black, but it'll do. It was too expensive to do a full color change, but a few custom touches certainly help Next car I get can have a nice light-colored interior. That said, the ergonomics are fantastic, except for the clunky touchscreen head unit, which I'm dying to change out.
