mine VIN ending is 0559

The VINs ending in 00001 and 00002 are Ice Silver Premiums, and 00003 and 00004 are Limited automatics (White and Blue, respectively).

Thanks! I figured it be cheaper then buying all the parts separately because they're sooooo expensive.

Here's a pic of mine after I got the windows tinted. Picked it up last week in College Station, TX. They didn't mark up the price at all, but my dealer installed "option package 2" or something like that with wheel locks, rear trunk plastic mat, rear bumper applique, and maybe 1 or 2 other small things. MSRP was $30,859.

Is anyone planning on lowering the suspension on their series blue? If so, how many inches? and does anyone have pictures? I've heard that the eibach pro kit is the best option from a ride quality perspective, lowing the car by approx 1 inch. The brz wheel gap is an eyesore in my opinion.

I'd go with Pro-Kit. I've seen many dealerships install a Pro-Kit on their show room BRZ's anyways. If you search the forums or Google you'll find a ton of pictures of FR-S' and BRZ' on a Pro-Kit. I think it's a perfect drop.

Dude, get the sti spring if u are getting a series blue.

I know TRD now offers lowering springs that should work on the BRZ. Haven't looked into it much however as I have to be careful not to hit the front lip on the roads around me as it is. I'm afraid if I lowered the front 1" it might make the car undriveable in my area.

I'll probably go to 18" rims when it's time to get new tires. TRD also released 18x7.0 and 18x7.5 wheels. They have a TRD center cap but it looks like you should be able to pop in the Subaru or STI cap instead of the TRD.

Thanks Ericmpena! I agree with you about the drop. I'm going with the pro kit as soon as i get my series blue (white) this Friday.

Does anyone have a side-by-side pic of SWP and CWP?

Omz.

They both look great, I like the white one actually reminds me of the old STI from 2006...did I already say this somewhere? LOL anyways hoping there be one I could see around here. Wish I could get one.

He doesn't like the big wheel gap, the pink springs won't solve that for him.

Hey guys. So like i said before i'm picking mine up (white) this Friday, however, the dealership received it today and i stopped by during lunch to take a sneak preview.

I'M SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED

First; the wheel gap is "sortof" an eyesore, but not that bad in person. Might have to rethink of lowering the car 1 inch because the front lip is already really low to the ground. I took a pic of my shoe under it, once i figure out how to post it i will. The car with the skirts is much lower to the ground than i anticipated. It looks great.

Second; the CWP. It was really sunny today and when the sun hits the CWP it looks awesome. Thank GOD. It looks much better than it does in pictures. In pictures the car just looks white and shapeless, but in person all the pearls come out; green, pinks, yellows. Its sparkly! All the curves of the car show in person. I must say i do like it very much. When i took pics (iphone) and looked at them then looked at the car it was so different. Its a must see in person to describe. There was no SWP around to compare it to. I took an up-close pic of the paint and will post.

Third; The interior. So i thought that the interior would look cheap and I was very indifferent about it when i bought the car. BUT now seeing it in person it actually looks very nice. The blue colour looks rich and not cheap and the stitching is very well done. I actually prefer this over last yrs model with the red stitching. The blue interior with the white exterior looks great. I was at first thinking i should get the WRB to match the interior, but im now glad i didnt. It pops with the white exterior and looks like a custom job. Well done Subaru. The brz stitching on the seat is just OK - i dont prefer it, but its well stichted so whatever. Subaru could have done without it.

Forth; frame less mirror - OK guys, this is prob the most insignificant thing on the car, but it has to be my favorite!! ITS LOOKS SICK. Such a simple idea goes along way with this car. Reminds me of an expensive Samsung TV. Again a must see in person.

Overall these are my initial impressions. I'll post pics once i figure it out...

I think it's also mildly noteworthy that all 2015 BRZ models come with an improved suspension setup. According to the Press Release, "Handling has been improved for 2015 with revised suspension dampers for smoother motion and absorption to help achieve optimum contact to uneven roads for a more enjoyable driving experience." ... whatever that means. It helps ease my conscious to justify purchasing the 2015 model over the previous...

Good description! It'd be great to see CWP compared to SWP, side-by-side. It's good to know there's some love for CWP and I'm glad it looks better in person with the sun and all. Damn, now I want one...
