3) naturally with "fan" knob at off position, does air still flow through the cabin?

I see the TPMS icon on the dash during startup. it is a standard feature on all subies I believe.

I financed the car and put down $5k, they did not have any special 1.99 financing, and I doubt they will have it at year 1 of the BRZ. I did 2.99 through my local credit union.

I personally don't fit my feet in teh back seat. The BRZ has better head clearance in teh back than the 2013 genesis, but only if you dont have feet (the passenger seat is so low my feet dont fit)

I have not noticed if the air flowed into the cabin with the fan off and the outside air open. I'll check it out tomorrow

TPMS is federally required in the US, so all cars sold in the US have it. Cars sold in other markets may not though.

bumper plugs.......................

The bumper plugs are cool and all, but really, they're a bit of a rip off. Hit up any auto parts tore and get some flat black plastic "christmas tree" fasteners for a few bucks. Leave them flat black for the BRZ or pre-paint them for the FR-S.

Body-matched paint can be had from the dealership or paintscratch.com.

Is it just me or do our members take better pics of their cars than professional mag photographers? It may be psychological but the pics posted by the few owners look better than most press pics and make me want this car even more. Nice job.

I think it's because the professionally taken photos all feel like the marketing photos we've all seen a million times whereas rougher smartphone photos make the car seem more real and tangible.

All I see is a Monster with Ohlins suspenders. Tasty! ... was there something else in that picture you wanted to share?

mechaghost · 05-14-2012, 12:17 AM

Here are the interior pics. It is a pain in the bottom to get the flash to work with the roof so low.. Sorry for the bad lighting

Very nice pics, still some of the best I've seen regardless of the flash issues.

Also, love the movie vehicle posters. I want the BTiLC one so bad, but I'm too lazy to make my own print.

Gaiakai · 05-14-2012, 12:47 AM

Grats OP!

Here's a weird request for ya: would you mind taking pics of the interior door panels, specifically the door handles? You know, the part where the silver plastic meets the rubber grip - is there still a sort of gap between the plastic and the rubber? Just curious

Awesome looking car!
