This, sadly, should be everyone thus far. The Regional service manager came out and told me and the sales manager i worked with it was a known issue. My dealership re-ordered the aero kit painted properly in Diamond White for me.
Anyways ...
and VOLK ZE40 waiting for no salt weather.
After looking at the difference in white from the aero pics, the diamond white paint is darker than I expected. Is that from the metallic paint? The wicked white aero kit looks brighter. The diamond kinda reminds me of an eggshell color with sparkles.
I see lots of '15 guys swap out their front seats for the OEM Recaros from '14 and down. I'm just wondering why not just go for aftermarket seats like Bride or Sparco? I hate my stock FE seats too but not sure which is better options, go look for OEM Recaros or just go with aftermarket. Any suggestions?

The main reasons that people look for the OEM Recaros are the airbags and weight sensors..
Aftermarket seats don't have airbags, and you would have to trick the car into thinking it still has airbags using the resistor trick, or you will have a CEL thrown. The trick is very easy, but a lot of people who aren't racing their car, want to have airbags for safety.
The weight sensors are arguably the larger issue, as there are no good/easy ways to trick them. If you don't have the weight sensors under the passenger seat, you will have a light on, and the passenger will have no airbags (seat or otherwise). The car will think that there is no passenger, and it will disable ALL passenger airbags.
I'm sure people will have other reasons for going with the OEM seats over aftermarket, but I'm assuming that most reasons beyond those will fall into the "personal preference/opinion" category (prefer the look, more comfortable, etc).
I've been a lurker for quit sometime. Went through a horrid experience after buying a 08 mr (trans let go after 7 miles of delivery) so I vowed to buy new. So after 16 years of dreaming, finally accomplished my goal.
