you can buy all the cosmetic parts from the series.blue at your dealer.
It wasn't ridiculously expensive either.

I know that, but it's much cheaper to buy the series.Blue than to buy them from the dealer.

The 2016 compared to the 2014:
-Retuned suspension.
-GPS Nav unit replaced with Subaru Starlink unit.

I'm fairly new so I'll leave it to the other members to elaborate.

Exhaust tips

2015+ has larger tips that protrude out more.

Backup camera also...

Also, the 2016 has the padded inner knee pads.

The 2015+ also has a shark fin antenna and a nicer key fob than the 2014s.

Forgot about the knee pads and the pads around the door speaker. 2015's have them also.

I thought the 2015s only have the padded door speaker. Many I have seen don't have the inner knee pads.

14 FRS has them. It was the biggest change for 14. Not sure when the BRZs got them though.

The FRS got them in 14 up. These guys are talking BRZs which may not have got them until 16. I don't know but sure the BRZ crowd does.

Learn something new every day. Thought it was more or less, the same with both cars.

Local buddy showed me his 2014 brz and stated he was envious the 2015's got it..

But disregard everything I've said so far.
