White looks really slick. I just went for the WRB because it's a Subaru "exclusive" color. Plus, white is one of the most common colors on both the FRS/BRZ.

Although, you can't go wrong with either one. Excited to see more pics.

I'm still trying to figure out what makes the wheels look so tiny in certain shots; is it the wheel gap, or the side skirts, or the Primacy HP sidewalls, or the combination of all three?

Combination, especially if the USDM wheels are truly 17x7 instead of 17x7.5. I remember thinking the exact same thing and that was with the STI springs already on my car. Why I changed to the 18s.

So I popped by my local dealership yesterday and luckily...I saw one in the wild! I was gonna ask a few questions to the salesman but the dealership was closed for Canada Day yesterday.

I have to say, I'm impressed! The STI parts look really good. The STI rims look awesome with the red calipers. The sharkfin looks good too. It's a simple design than Beatsonic's and half the size so size-wise and shape, I think it's perfect. The interior looks pretty good with the faux carbon fiber trim on the dash and the blue trim/stitching looks pretty good. It's a bit on the darker shade so it didn't look too vibrant and tacky. As for the Aozora WRB color, call me crazy, but it looks 98.5% the same as the stock WRB tonally. Mind you, this was in the afternoon on a really bright sunny day. Oh and they still can't get the exhaust tips right..it's way too short. Oh and yet again. This car is a magnet for bird poo. Luckily it hit mostly on the white cover but there's a line next to the left headlight. Hope the lot boy washes it out today or it will etch on the paint so it will suck for whoever purchase this...

Took pics for your viewing pleasure! (this was with my HTC one...brought my DSLR but forgot to put the battery in...rookie mistake. )

I still think it's a bit on the pricey side but I'm tempted now...

Not sure, the Subaru dealership was closed for Canada Day so I couldn't ask any questions. I'll pop by again sometime this week and see if my salesman is working so I can harass him.

MSRP on the two I have is USD $30,433.00.

Not sure how that will translate to the Canadian market.

3 different shades of the same WRB color name being sold in 2014 can confuse people. The discontinued 02C WRB of 2013-2014 might become somewhat of a rare color for the twins (rarer than SWP since it's shared w/ the FR-S). Not sure this new darker blue would match against gold wheels like the traditionally lighter WRB+gold of the past two decades. I'd like to see someone try it out ASAP.

It works haha. I didn't take pictures but there was a '15 WRX in WRB on gold prodrive GT1s at S3 and it looked amazing. And the color was definitely darker than our WRB. At least Subaru is providing different color codes for the different shades of WRB now. In the past theyd just change the shade but keep it the same 02C code. THAT really threw people off.
