Can the series.yellow paint be swapped over to my 13 brz?(sarcasm)

At least we know now from the document that this is a new yellow, not the sunrise yellow from the rs 1.0.

It's a "Charlesite yellow."

Oh, I wasn't debating the validity of your statement. I was just hoping you might have more insight as to what will and won't swap over offhand :P

Haha, I know some info... but not all. I think, outside of Toyota & Subaru, Moto-san knows most about the update.

Isn't it cheaper to just repaint it? Or you mean parts? Again, most of exterior & few drivetrain parts can be swappable...

The first report of 17MY changes seemed dismal, this, like others have mentioned, has a lot of small enhancements that lead to a big difference.

I really prefer the original bumper and interior, otherwise I'd be tempted to trade up.
This gives me a high amount of anticipation for a true Gen 2 BRZ.

Aw, I was hoping to see a glimpse of some pricing and newer accessories (new lip possibly?) Oh well, July is right around the corner...

Oh boy, people won't have to plasti-dip their intake manifolds red, because they're already be red! Since the same red is used on the WRX STI's, that basically qualifies it for STI badging everywhere. That's worth trading to a new one already.

Yet still no pricing. That's the real question at this point, and I have a feeling if it's anywhere near that converted Japanese price, there will be a lot of trade ins and new purchases!

C'mon Subaru, out with it already!
