questions about new BRZ (2017)

[Somerandom18]

My 17 premium has it. Makes transmission fluid changes annoying.

This wasn't the case with the pre-facelift and only the Series.Blue had it.

Yep, just checked on my 17 Limited with Performance Package, has full underbody panels for Aero

As people have already mentioned the stock exhaust is already a dual exhaust but it's very quiet. The TRD exhaust is a loud, more free flowing dual exhaust. The good thing about Toyota is you can get TRD lowering springs, rims, air filter, exhaust and then include all that in your financing.

But if you don't need the financing, the better value is getting the Subaru BRZ with performance package to get Brembo brakes and Sachs dampers. Then you pay cash for any brand you want for lowering springs, rims, air filter/exhaust, and whatever else you are looking for.

2015+ BRZ had it, I bought some for my 2014 BRZ Limited.
It was cheap, got it for $180 shipped form a vendor on the forums. Vendor shut down though.

Thin black plastic. Kind of like fender liners, but for under the car. Actually, I think at least one panel is metal. I could be wrong though?


I really want a set, but it's hard spending $200 on plastic. I'm waiting for a used set to pop up on the classifieds.

I think fiberglass, I had a few weird splinters in my gloves, didn't know if it came from my friends garage, my car, or the aero parts underneath. They looked like fiberglass.
No metal on mine.

I think the lowest I seen it is $175.

Yea it's nice that was one of the first things I bought for the car, had to import from Japanparts back in the day.

It's ABS plastic I think. Funny how my grandma used to tell me how plastic goods used to be quite expensive back in her day, just like how carbon fiber is today.

Thank you all for your suggestions and support. Now I have the information need to make my choices.

Just wish North America had the auto folding side mirrors like Japan.
That would have been ultimate on urban city streets.

Eu doesn't have it either. You turn off the engine and realise you didn't fold the mirror. Either start it up again or press start button twice->fold mirrors->press start button once. A bit annoying.
