Depends on what parts. Pretty much everything should be the same back to 2017 (refresh). A lot should be the same back to 2015 (suspension update I think). A little less should be the same back to 2013.

Aftermarket parts should fit all years with some exceptions for engine bits, wiring for lights and such, and interior parts.

Hi everyone! Joined the family a little over a week ago with a 2020 BRZ and I already love it just as much as I did my RX-8 that I had to get rid of about 8 years ago. This car is so much fun! Got my windows tinted 2 days after I drove it off of the showroom floor at the dealer, replaced the orange side markers, and just had new wheels and tires put on this morning. I jumped right in on starting to make this car my own and am constantly looking for a reason to put work down and go for a drive lol.

Been an owner and lurker on the boards for a couple years. Had a 2013 BRZ limited, asphalt. Did alot to it but traded in today for a 2018 BRZ TS in black with almost no miles on it. Looking forward to sharing my adventure with this dream car. Figured it's time to start posting and get to know the community.

I'm Official!

Bought mine yesterday. 2020 6spd Base Limited with only floor mat option.
My first true sports car, and she is a lovely pocket rocket.

Other than possible window tint & clear bra, the only Demon Tweaks I'm considering are going to 7.5 wheels; 225 tires, better brake pads, and the Erc Yellow/Bilstein suspension combo. Mixed with a some AutoX and light track.

I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Hey Y'all! Figured I'd finally say hi. I've owned my 2014 BRZ since well, 2014. It was the first and only car (and probably will be the last) I've ever bought brand new from a dealership. I managed to keep it stock for almost a year before adding fun stuff. Right now it's got a Perrin catback, Gruppe S UEL headers, Vortech supercharger kit (I was a pretty early adopter of the system), catch cans, etc..
I love this car and it's been both a dead-reliable daily as well as a fun autocross/track toy. Thanks for having me!
