all good suggestions, and hopefully your dealer doesn't forget your requests.

to make it simpler, maybe tell them that you want the minimal amount of work done to your car to make it derivable. this usually just involves installing the 2 rubber grommets near the wheel wells, filling premium gas, checking tire pressure, and a quick underbody inspection.

if you don't want them to drill the front plates, make sure you stress to them that's the most important thing you want. everything else can be fixed post-delivery, but once the bumper has been drilled, there's no going back.

good luck!

Good point. I mentioned this to my sales rep, who said "the BRZ needs premium?"

Just got my BRZ!!! and the dealer honored my requests and all they did was vacuum the inside.

I plan on getting it detailed and opticoated from another place. The dealer wanted to put something called purel coating which i have no idea what it is but i said no

No drilled holes in the bumper is a priority.

-dont mean to thread jack, but is it possible to request no spoiler on the limited? Asked the salesperson at the dealer and he said no, but you know how that goes. never trust their word.

The limited includes the spoiler. It's not a port installed item and comes installed from the factory.
