Don't forget that the Monogram FRS comes with those soft plush squishy knee pads and the BRZ does not :/ unfortunately...

You are correct, they have the same feel and "squishyness" as the side door pieces by the window that are faux-leather with red-stitching. I wouldn't say it adds a ton more comfort as its very thin, but something is better than nothing.

Much better. I was going to order some, but I felt them in person and for the same price I can get JPM Coachworks with more padding.

13' sport tech with pioneer HU, I'm guessing they all have it in the dash, maybe not the 14' because it's a different head unit.

Ps sorry for crappy iphone night pic

I though US spec BRZ had that Futjisunencktm shit navi but Canadian spec came with Pioneer ?

It does. I have a Canadian BRZ Limited, called Sport-Tech here. It has a Pioneer head unit (http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/POC...n/AVIC-X9310BT) and the usb aux port is in the glovebox. It also has an external microphone mounted near the rearview mirror for the hands free bluetooth.

It also has red stitching on everything. It has padded leather on the top of the door which I don't think is on any regular model.

That padded faux leather on the door is on every model, including base BRZ premium and FR-S. The BR-Z in fact, at least in NA, has the least overall padding, lacking stitched knee pads and speaker door pads.

Interesting. I read somewhere, probably on here, that only the Limited had it.

I ended up getting the monogram.

After buying the car I found out that I could've grabbed the BRZ Limited for $25,600. I ended up paying $29,040 for the white monogram with fog lights.

So $3,440 premium. The headlights and front-end of the monogram won me over. The drl led integrated into the headlight assembly really makes the car look much more expensive.

And the fact that I'm getting the car 2 years after I could've got a BRZ limited, so I went with the monogram.

I gotta change my username now. lol
