The Subaru one is about ~50-60 USD if I recall correctly.

Installed OEM mudguards (well, Toyota/Scion OEM, since for some crazy reason Subaru doesn't have them yet) and ghetto rubber mats (since WeatherTech doesn't have Digital Fit options for us yet....

It does look the same. I had a covercraft for my STI. I think it was about $70 from the dealer.

I haven't spent a lot of time driving with them on the BRZ. They are good 'mild winter' tires. We don't get much snow here in Seattle so they work fine for that. Work great in the wet though.

They are a little more quiet than the Primacy's but a little more 'squishy' and a you lose a little feedback from the steering wheel.

That being said, they are great for all season tires.

Well, to be fair, anyone who can really fit back there will have really small feet!
