2018 Dash Piece in 2015 Model

Has anyone tried fitting a 2018 one piece dash/radio facia in a 2015 model.

Im keen to try the New Suede GTS 86 piece in my BRZ but its 400 bucks and want to know if anyone has tried it before i buy it.

Really? I think that part of the car looks unfinished, like something my mom made.

I love race stuff, the often cobbled together, function over form look. And I hate fancy interiors, but that suede piece looks like it came out of a 1974 van.

It would be easier to just wrap your existing dash trim in suede.

Sorry to hijack your thread but will the 2018 two-piece dash fit into 2015 with the oem head unit?

If your 2015 has the trapezoid shaped Starlink radio, yes it should.

I have the older rectangular one. Will that fit? Would it be too big or too small?

If your radio looks like this, you can't use the 2018 two piece. You can use the one piece dash though.

Thanks guys all personal choice i suppose. Personally i dont like carbon fibre. Ive got the plastic imitation stuff on mine. Ive considered wrapping it myself was interested in the one piece.

The new 2018 toyota radio piece appears to be the same as the subaru 2015 radio piece. The same cant be said about the 2018 suabru radio piece which looks much bigger.
