My digital calipers are broken, so we have to make do with crappy, manual, metric only calipers... Took the widest measurement on the oval, to nearest mm.

22 BRZ (Badge)
Front: 127mm
Rear: 119mm

21 WRX (Badge)
Front: 127mm
Rear: 119mm

20 BRZ (Decal - Subispeed)
Large: 119mm
Small: 106mm

So i'll order a set of WRX overlays and see how those work. Should fit quite nicely based on this.

Discoveries so far:
- Gen 1 badge overlays: the larger of them fits the rear badge pretty well, but the front badge on the Gen 2 is larger than any decals from Gen 1. Please excuse the crap installation and picture. Its cold outside and I had already spent a bunch of time pulling the rear seats out. Next I will have to measure the badges on our WRX to see if those overlays would fit better.
- Aftermarket anodized aluminum HVAC bezel covers for a 15-21 WRX are slightly too small to fit (it was a long shot - would have been cool if they fit).
- My car doesn't seem to have the small button in the glovebox for switching tire pressure sensors - AFAIK Subaru doesn't do these in Canada.

That red is so sexy! Can't wait for mine.

I parked next to a couple of Nissans yesterday. I also just crossed 800 miles!

I love this thing.

I decided to run like this for now - I quite like it. I have a gloss emblem decal coming that should fit better than this matte one.

De-badged - nice.

Here’s mine with the STI parts installed, thing of note was that the rear diffuser was silver (in Japan it’s black). Looks great though!

I might, but that fender vent accessory has my heart for the time being! It’s very nice in person.

If so, would love to hear some comparisons between the two cars. The silver looks great!

Yes, that's me.

I have only driven the car twice (about 50 total miles) since purchasing it, so I will need to drive it a little more before doing a good comparison. Plus, I am planning on keeping the rpm's at 4000 or below during break-in (as per the Owner's Manual).

I'll mention a few things of comparison that are not related to performance:

-I have a 2017 Focus ST2, which gives you Recaro seats and a pretty nice 450 watt Sony stereo system. The seating in my Limited BRZ is pretty comparable to the Recaro seats, but I believe the BRZ seats look nicer with the leather and Ultrasuede. The BRZ sound system is horrible in comparison to the Focus ST2 sound system.

-The shift feel is comparable between the two cars, and I have the stock shifter in both cars. I do have a really nice heavy WC Lathewerks shift knob in my Focus and plan on getting one for the BRZ.

-Tires: With 215/40-18 tires on the stock wheels on the BRZ, they seem really narrow and one could easily curb a wheel due to no tire protection. The car really needs 225/40-18's on the stock wheels. I plan on buying a nice set of OZ or Enkei wheels for the BRZ with larger tires (225's or 235's).

I will follow up once I have more seat time in the BRZ.
