Yeah it's going to have to be a USDM part for a direct replacement, 86321CA610 is the best thing I can think of based on the post earlier but I can't seem to find anything with that part number via Google. It especially sucks for us SWP and classic WRB owners as we're going to have to get it custom painted for an exact color match as they aren't 2015MY colors. They probably don't even come unpainted either.

Went to Subaru and they gave me this part number. 86321CA610W6, its unpainted and retails for 186.45 but I found it for cheaper online. I hope to get one soon.

If you don't mind, please keep us posted. I was hoping it would be painted, but I am interested to see some pics when you get it and to hear if it is a direct plug-and-play swap for you.

OK. . found a link for all the antenna stays. . no clue on which color each one is though.

I sent an email to ask them if they could tell me which one was DGM at least. Will post back if I get a response.

Well based on what we got so far:

86321CA610W6 - Unpainted
86321CA610V2 - Crystal Black Silica (D4S)
86321CA610B5 - ???
86321CA610E4 - ???
86321CA610EN - ???
86321CA610RL - ???
86321CA610TQ - ???

I'll see if I can match it up with any color codes and update this post.

Since MY2015 has 6 colors and there are 7 options, it makes sense for one of them to be unpainted.

Unmatched are:
WR Blue Pearl
Crystal White Pearl
Dark Gray Metallic
Lightning Red
Ice Silver Metallic

We have Modellista one C7P (Painted version) in stock.

Found this is off the Retail Accessory Guide effective May 14, 2014 for the Australian market. Link here: http://www.subarutoowong.com.au/broc...ccessories.pdf

WU - Satin White Pearl
V2 - Crystal Black Silica
B5 - Galaxy Blue Silica
S3 - Sterling Silver Metallic
EN - Dark Gray Metallic
RL - Lightning Red
PG - WR Blue Mica
TQ - Ice Silver Metallic
E4 - WR Blue Pearl


So the updated list looks like this:


86321CA610W6 - Unpainted
86321CA610V2 - Crystal Black Silica (D4S)
86321CA610B5 - Galaxy Blue Silica
86321CA610E4 - WR Blue Pearl
86321CA610EN - Dark Gray Metallic
86321CA610RL - Lightning Red
86321CA610TQ - Ice Silver Metalli

If that's the case, W6 has to be Crystal White Pearl then. I thought Galaxy Blue Silica was discontinued? But I do trust the that the B5 paint code is in fact GBS but then it makes me wonder why there's no antenna for Satin White Pearl (WU)... Anyways, I guess the final result is:

86321CA610W6 - Crystal White Pearl (K1X)
86321CA610V2 - Crystal Black Silica (D4S)
86321CA610B5 - Galaxy Blue Silica (Now known as Galaxy Blue Pearl) (E8H)
86321CA610E4 - World Rally Blue Pearl (K7X)
86321CA610EN - Dark Gray Metallic (61K)
86321CA610RL - Lightning Red (C7P)
86321CA610TQ - Ice Silver Metallic (G1U)

EDIT: Just realized that all of the 7 colors above are available for the 2015 WRX, which leads me to believe that the color options are specific to the WRX. This is why GBS is available even on a 2015MY part versus SWP. I believe the WRX and BRZ share a common part number for the antennas, so for those who have a GBS BRZ wanting to have a factory paint matched shark fin antenna, you guys lucked out.

I should have mentioned in my original post that in order to get the part number I had to take the VIN number from a Crystal White Pearl BRZ, Blue series to be exact. The parts guy told me its unpainted but it could also very well be White like you suggest.

Also, what did it cost?

Yes it was plug and play. Simply pull the roof liner, use a 22mm wrench and take the lock nut off, unhook the harness and pull out from the top. Then the new one goes in.

I don't know the numbers for the other colors, I just told my parts department guy that I needed one for my black brz.

I ordered directly from my Subaru parts department. I use my SiriusXM daily because FM and HD radio reception sucks where I am stationed, NO stations I like.

No worries. If you read the rest of the thread, I identified the codes already.

These are pretty much all. One more would be TOM's.
