Most likey did on purpose. There are TRD parts that look better than the STI counter parts or parts that STI simply did not put out for the BRZ that TRD did. I personally like the TRD strut bar better than the STI one, the shift knob looks better, the wheel, why did STI not come up with a wheel. Obviously the lip kit will not fit the BRZ from TRD, well all but the front would but the STI lip IMO looks better. Yeah it is odd, but this car as much as it is a Subaru, it is a Toyota.

On purpose. And not for show (that pic was my first show ever; I'm not huge on shows) as much as for thoughtful OEM engineering. I made a diagram about this earlier in this thread:



There are some exceptions like I felt the fatter TRD shift knob needed the fat TRD wheel (which has no STI variant) to complement the feel. Also look at all the Subaru stamped body panels on the FR-S or the valve cover that says both "Subaru" and "Toyota." I'm continuing the lack of continuity.

Perfect explanation.

Yes, I would like to call this OEM+ Addiction meeting to order. Our Speaker @switchlanez will start us off and then we will go into our meeting minutes from last week pertaining to Tom's, STi, TRD, SAA, Modellista, Subaru, Toytoa and the overseas variants.
