I was told $2,000 refundable. I've considered looking out of state for a car, but ultimately, it's a pain in the ass to try and find a car exactly the way I want it without a bunch of extra accessories I don't need. I've decided I'll just wait it out because I still need to trade in my current car.

That was absolutely the first thing I asked before handing over my deposit - I didn't want to get stuck with a car I might not want when it finally shows up. They told me it could be refundable because if I were to back out, they'd be able to find someone to replace me. It sounds like maybe you ordered yours so early on, they didn't know how high the demand would be?

My buddy got his WRX from DW a little while back and didn't have any issues, so this may just be a BRZ thing.

The waiting game sucks, but you've waited this long...what's a few more days? At least you don't have to wait until December like I do! :happy0180:

Stars, I could be wrong, but unless BeatSonic offers two styles now, the sharkfin antenna is too small to fit over the BRZ's antenna equipped with satellite radio. The FR-S antenna is smaller due to not having satellite. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. I know there's another company out there making sharkfin antenna covers, can't remember the name though.
