I'm sure they'd be more than willing to sell you the parts for a hefty price, but I doubt they'll offer upgrade packages to existing owners.

Better come with tires for that price.

But did they fix the dip?

I wonder what the steering wheel update is. I don't see anything different on the one in the picture.
Maybe it's stitching? I added a little more info on the first post.

Isn't the ice silver paint the same silver that was offered on previous year model WRX's?

When I bought my BRZ the dealer had one sittingin the parking lot that belonged to one of the sales guys, I think was 2011 or 2012 and I asked what color it was and they said ice silver metallic. They said it had like a blue flake or hue to it instead of just a straight silver metallic.

if they switch to 5x114 hubs i'm driving mine off a cliff

jk jk. but i think that would be a step that they MIGHT take...who the fuck knows.

but i highly doubt they would mess with the platform so soon. especially since the STi is remored to have a mid model year engine transplant form EJ to FA...but who the fuck knows, subaru likes to be sneaky sneaky.

Well, so much for the 2015. Looks like it's time to start a MY 16 buyers' thread - mid-cycle refresh time.

Yes I believe so. Both the white and silver are on the '15 wrx too from what I know

$3000 extra for BBS forged rims + re-valved Sachs shocks == bargain. I've read Toyota tested this stuff over Europe and Australia for a long time so it wouldn't be JDM only.

I'll only buy the shocks if STI offers them, just worried they don't play well with the stuff off the STI performance catalog. I seem to remember there were limited edition STI springs and shocks cup kits for the older Legacy that went for $2000+. Ouch!

If they got rid of that cheez-o silver dash finish for the '15 that was at least a minor step in the right direction.

  • new keyfob

for the STi/special edition
  • Choice of: Crystal White Pearl or World Rally Blue.
  • only manual transmission
  • STi full lip kit
  • knee pads
  • black and blue alcantara
  • blue stitching
  • frameless mirror
  • red brake caliper
  • 17" STi black alloy rims
