Don’t use screws.

Shitty install. There is double sided tape, they did not clean the area correct or at all prior to installation. I would get it fixed under warranty. If they can not get good quality tape they can replace the kit with new.

You shouldn't have to drill at all for a BRZ's sideskirts. There are holes on the underside of the rocker panels with coated plugs that you pop out, and then the sideskirts have new hardware that pops in to hold the sideskirts on, plus the doublesided tape.

Amazing quality, looks great, feels awesome!

Been a few months now. How is the wheel holding up? Any concerns or complaints?

This morning I took tS to dealer and they were shocked to see how it was installed. Service Manager ordered a part, I don't know what part is and he will call me once the part is arrived. Awful.

Still looks and feels as good as new. No complaints or concerns.

I do like the shape of the ones for the '17 and '18 that are being sold through FT86SF better, but they're only available with carbon fiber and don't have an all-leather option...yet.

is there a way to get the controls on the wheel to work on the older models like a 14'?

I think it's possible but pretty cost prohibitive.

A while back someone looked into this and it requires a new clockspring (MY2017+) as that has a different harness for the controls, and the old and new airbag are different sizes so you would need an entirely new steering wheel assembly to do this.

You probably need to replace the clock spring in the column, since mine looked different than the pre-'17 version without the controls, along with whatever wiring and harness you need to run the radio controls.

But there's also buttons for the menu in the dash to the right of the speedo which would require the new dash as well for that to work.

Anyone tried this swap yet?

F all that.

Corsa installed!

Totally different sound from the UEL + V1 I had on my FR-S -- I've matured a bit since then.
