A lot of the turbo Subaru guys (including myself) use Rotella t6 5w40 with really great results. Not sure if that would be too think for the FA engines or not but if you're pushing boost, I would...

Looks excellent with the cutout for the signals left alone. Covering the whole entire light in red/dark tint is cheap looking and rice IMO.

US regulations don't require cars to have rear fog lights, so the USDM version of the BRZ/FRS gets a reflector piece in its place. In Europe and other countries that require a rear fog light, the car...
