Maybe it's the WRB colour that hides it well?

That shows 58.4 mph according to google, but he does have RPMs left
That however is very good news for the autoxers as long as it has enough grunt to use it, which I believe it does

Can I get one with the FRS front bumper? I admit the plastic doesn't look as bad now, but still

I'm a little surprised by the similarities of the interior. Definitely going to be more difficult to decide on DGM or WRB for my BRZ after seeing the 1st impression video though...

No doubt! Black and blue will probably be the colours to get for the BRZ.

even in white, it didnt look that bad. it was the picture that everyone saw which made it look too rounded in the front. maybe if subaru offered their own lip kits for the brz then the front might end up looking more aggressive

Ohhh I like the 3/4 Halos


Edit: ok I am official admitting that I was wrong, what I thought was just an led strip on the top of lights, shows clearly in the video as the Halo/DRLs and Daddy likes a LOT
