Very similar to this guy's video

Didnt have this issue on my 2015.

You can check endlinks by just turning your wheel to the side and pulling them to see if there’s any slack.

But that sounds like a loose strut center nut. Mine sometimes back out a bit too over time. Check that out and make sure not to spin the strut shaft (Allen key hole) and check to see if it’s loose.

Picked it up today! I'll edit with a photo when I have access to my laptop.

Edit: photo now included

It's all about patience. I'm tempted to think about trading mine in, but I want to wait and see if some of these dealers get desperate.

It doesn't help that every year there has been a 'new' special edition released either...

tS is the best special edition ever. So fucking cool! I'm not 100% sold on the spoiler yet because I haven't seen it in person, but I'm guessing it looks even better up close.

Congrats man!!! It's definitely an exciting feeling looking in the rear view mirror and seeing that wing, huh? Does your navigation work properly?! I went in today and they are ordering me a new head unit because they couldn't get it to locate the correct location but it still knows movement. Really weird situation for a GPS...They also ordered me a new bezel around the head unit because I found a defect in the finish in that as well. They also scuffed the hell out of my door sill with their shoes so they are ordering me a new one of those too. Have you noticed people don't know how to get into the BRZ without scraping their feet on something? hahah.

1. I get a kick out of the wing every time I see it!
2. My navigation worked just fine considering it had to get us through a six hour drive.
3. Might just be the professionalism of each dealership, my salesman made sure to pick up his feat each time he got in.

A bit funny that so many users realise the existence of the wing now. All these parts were available for years and if I recall correctly all the other aero parts were available in the series blue edition.

I don't think a lot of people would have added the wing if it didn't come with the car stock.

After a few lessons in a parking lot on Friday and Saturday, I graduated to public roads today. My shifts aren't the greatest, but I'm getting there!

If you have a wing (not a short spoiler) like that, you cannot use a car cover (unless you cut the car cover… or somehow have one specially made cut out for the wing. Something to think about

nikitopo · 03-12-2018, 07:53 AM

... and you need to hand wash. I don't think an automatic car laundry will be possible anymore ...

Automatic car washes are for savages.

Good work! Just take it slow and ignore people who get annoyed with you for stalling if/when you do.
