Comes with the headlight sprayers which must be a requirement there. STi badge on the back but doesnt have the aero kit...weird...sweet color though!

First thing I noticed too. But I'm pretty sure the zenki wing also isn't standard and most likely a port accessory there. There was a picture of a HyperBlue BRZ in an Australia dealer for sale with the wing back in 2016.

I did some sneaking around on Subaru's website and changed some numbers in the URL and found this: https://www.subaru.com/guides/brz/my18/

Nice find. Been wondering when Subaru would get their website updated for the 2018 models (not that it's live yet).

2018 Live on Subaru's website

Edit:

I noticed when you add the Performance Pack in the builder, the wheels get darker. Are the 2018 PP wheels getting a darker finish than the 2017 PP wheels?

No the image of the wheel just has weird contrast.

Do you happen to know what happens if a dealer declines their tS allocation? Will that be allocated to another dealer based on performance, or will they see if there’s any orders in the system for a tS?

(I’ve already contacted a few dealers further away from me requesting notification if they get a tS, but it’s be super nice to stick with my local dealer, although I’m 99% sure they're not getting one lol)

IIRC, starting in MY18 all PPs come with black wheels, like on the series.yellow, not gunmetal like the MY17s

When is the tS hitting dealerships?

airjonny · 01-15-2018, 08:50 PM

It should be in black, but they did have BRZ pics on the website with the black wheels last year. We'll probably need to wait and see.

Are the 2018s at the Detroit Auto Show?

I sat in an '18 pre-pro PP at the port of Baltimore and it had the same gunmetal wheels as the '17. This was in October, so maybe it got changed? But I doubt it. Anyways, from what I understand, it's the non-PP cars that are getting black wheels apparently. That's just what I've been told internally, but I usually take even internal word with a grain of salt haha.

Here's a review of the Aussie-spec tS.
Although missing the US-spec aero, it gets the fender vents, and STI-badged airbag from the JDM STI Sport. I also have noticed that while the AUS and US tS have the same interior as the STI-sport (minus the embossed headrests) the JDM model lacks the red seatbelts.

From what I’ve seen the US version doesn’t have the STI fender vents, so does anyone know where to get them?

Any part number on the red trim piece ?

trippinbillies40 · 01-18-2018, 10:56 AM

Parts catalog is updated with tS parts now. Looked up the pricing on the wing, just about fell out of my chair lol. MSRP $3867!

What red trim piece were you looking for? The red striping on the bumpers are integrated it looks like.
