so i came back from the CES show.

I didn't find the BRZ indoors...just the on outdoors.

It looked good.

However, there is definitely a retarded look to it...as the REAR side panel goes. It doesn't match the car in my opinion.

The front looks good, it doesn't need no styling kit or whatever.

Key notes:
-There is an indentation in the Subaru badge. So if you remove it, you'll have to fill it with something else

-There is a unique texture pattern on the Front and rear end

-The side Fake Vent looks really Tacky.

-The lady at the booth kept mentioning $25,000

-This is the BRZ limited with the leather/alcantara

-As i am a short guy i can see myself scooting the seat forward, and there seems to be comfortable room in the back seat if i was the driver. Head room would depend on the passenger.

After looking at the BRZ in person, i'm leaning towards the FRS because
-the base model for Subaru is called premium which has 8 speaker audio, gps navigation, and a bunch of satellite radio and bluetooth shit i don't need. I would imagine this is the model that also has a bunch of buttons on the steering wheel.
-the forementioned tackyness of the certain areas of the car.

Awesome pics! It looks like they textured that front lip part and the rear diffuser. Did you get any detailed shots of the "side vents", this may end up being something that needs to be replaced with something that's a little more high quality. Was she saying $25k for the Limited? If so holy shit! If it's for the Premium I'm more than happy with that!

She just mentioned how nice the stitching was , and it was nice...

she wasn't talking with me, she was speaking with another person while i just overheard this info.

I posted all the pictures i took of the car.
Like i said, the fake side vent is really tacky.

The best part i like about the car is that it looks good from the front without any styling kit.

That would be epic if the Limited came in at $25k, that would put the Premium at $22-23k and the FRS probably close to $21k. Maybe the cryptic "carwhisperer" in the other thread was right about us being surprised by the price...
