$225.98 for just the door kit, $109.99 for the center console knee pads, but I recommend buying the ENTIRE kit. Shipping is very reasonable. Worth every penny and follow this guide, read EVERYTHING, especially if you have a BRZ Limited:

Does the kit come with those silver chrome rings for the speakers? I just saw on the site, or did you just not use them?

It'll come with the rings. I almost didn't understand until I went to put on just the mesh guard within the circular door panel. You'll be left with a sizable gap all around that'll clue you in that you need the silver surround piece. hahaha

Over the course of the weekend because an old injury started acting up and I lost daylight on Saturday: Nameless Performance 1-piece over/downpipe, Whiteline trans mount insert, and Kartboy rear shifter stay.

Probably the aggressive offets, they don't want the hassle of people tearing up their fenders if they're too low.

Hmm, really hard to tell how well/badly they fit laterally with that stock wheel gap. The rears don't look too bad though. Any noticeable decrease in acceleration?

They look pretty flush front and rear, it's nice that they match up so well with both the front and rear fender. I have sportlines on order that will hopefully go in next week, then I'll post more pics. I think it will turn out pretty well though. It's more of a short term solution. If I end up not happy with the drop/leveling effect of the Eibach's, I'll most likely look into a set of KW v3's down the road.

No noticeable decrease in acceleration at all, I'd be surprised if the wheel and tire combination is actually lighter than stock overall. As for the diameter, I don't believe they're THAT much bigger than stock so I don't think much of a difference is made there either. Having the tire on a wider wheel does seem to aid in initial response though, if only a slight one.

I have an even more aggressive set up and there is no loss of acceleration and turning feels awesome. You don't throw the rear end out unless you want to now. Def can still do it with ease but a little gravel with a heavy foot doesn't catch you by suprise with 255's on the back.
