I just sold my 2005 M3 for this. If, you owned an SMG M3 you'll understand why I did it. I had 3 BMW's in the past and always wanted to try a Subaru. It was a toss up between this and a pearl white WRX 4 door premium. I really like driving the BRZ, it's fun and unassuming.

Hello new to the forum. Drove my Impreza 2.5i throughout high school and college. Been wanting a BRZ/FRS since its conception. Two at my dealer and they offered me a year end steal so I drove off the lot with it yesterday.


1) Louis S
2) Warner Robins, GA
3) 746
4) Daily Driver.... for now


The weather has been so bad lately. Will post pictures when the HyperBlue can really be shown off.

It aint moving and you know all dealers want to sell everything at the end of the year so they dont get taxed. what do you think I have excellent credit and can go through Subaru or go through my bank USAA


In my situation they were trying to offload 1 of the 2 they had. They marked it 2505 off the listed 28,495, and wouldn't budge after that. So out the door with tax, title, etc it ended up being ~28K. So IMO not a lowball

I'm really glad you posted those STI badge photos ... I thought it might look weird but I'm definitely doing it to my HyperBlue

I love how it turned out. A couple things to keep in mind:

The front badge can be a pain to install. Many people said to remove the front bumper. No need for that, you can remove the underpanels below the bumper and get to everything you need.

Also the rear badge is made for the BRZ and on the tS in Japan it replaces the 'Subaru' wording. This means the badge has a a very specific curve to it and must be applied to that area of the trunk. There is no way to flatten it with snapping it in half and it doesn't conform to the other side of the trunk under the 'BRZ' logo.

Just a little heads up, hope you enjoy!

Very cool, looks great. I was fortunate to get the STi lip kit from the dealer and I just did the STi badges as well as the push start button. Also ordered all the STI tS BRZ interior pieces from JapanParts and the Shift Knob. Did you notice any real difference with the strut bar?

Also nice choice in tails

The steering feels a little more responsive. And the brake pedal feels better. I'll see if it improves anymore once I install the rear bar.
