Then find out if you can get the JDM Headlights or order a set from Subaru. It won't be cheap of course.

Adding a turbo...for the cost, parts, lack of warranty etc. that would result it just simply would make more sense to move on to a Cayman. Anything else is up for grabs...I mean they're making new parts everyday for our cars so it's hard to say...

the color!!! i had to wait an extra month for WRB, and passed on a $500 dealer incentive to take the black they had in stock. totally worth it.

the other things would be the seats and the short throw shifter. just awesome

Headlights for sure. They really nailed the design, it's something that wouldn't look out of place on a car two or three times the price.

I've got to agree with every other BRZ owner...the headlights!

Oddly enough most of the car will not change. I'm very happy with the overall design. I've done a few cosmetic things and that's where it will stay. Only other thing I would like is a tune to get rid of the torque dip.
