None. Paint match it at local paint shop

For the BRZ version, my local dealer quoted me 186 +tax. I've otherwise found it on some websites of questionable reliability for $140.

Has anyone purchased one, and at what price?

Edit: Just found the other thread, and Japan Parts has it @ ~154 + shipping, so a little cheaper. https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/42987

Just fyi before you buy, the japanparts antenna is not the same as the OEM 2015 antenna. It was an optional accessory that Subaru released for the 2013-2014 models. It has a different curve and is a little taller in height.

To each his own. I like the look of the Beat Sonic antenna on my FRS. The color is a perfect match, and so easy to install. Radio reception has not changed. Got it off ebay. Vendor accepted an offer for <$100. with free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beat-Sonic-S...4adc4c&vxp=mtr

I do also. With a short black cf stick, or a long white cb antenna.

(By the way, c.b. radios are now illegal in loony left Ontario Kanada !).

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I do like the beatsonic antenna, just not on my FR-S, hence why I mounted it on my Impreza instead.

How much was the respray?

Trap63 · 12-11-2014, 03:43 PM

this is the WRB BRZ model, you see the plug with dual connection.
About colour....in comparison to 02C , the new one is closer similar than the new white. No need to re-paint.
$181.50 to Italy and $35 of custom fees in Italy. A good price.

Tempting...

Thanks, @Trap63.

So this is confirmed to be part number 86321CA610E4?

Seems like a great price at extremevwparts. Anybody dealt with them before?
