no problem! i looked around for a while for a good spot. i have an aftermarket alarm so i couldn't install it next to the trunk switch. then i thought about putting it in that little spot next to the ebrake (where the BRZ has it's heated seat switches) but decided that'd be a pain in the ass. then i just tried this on a whim and loved how perfectly it fit. very happy with it.

Yeah i'm planning to wire up my fogs in the next two weeks but i've been debating on a great spot to locate it, since i have an aftermarket radio now i have already disconnected the usb and aux located on this panel, but didnt want to get rid of it cause a hole there would be dumb, but now with the fog light switch there it's perfect! did you have to cut or do anything to modify the location or did it fit perfectly?

OE Style Diffuser Install & Wash/Wax (6/23/13):

bought for an unbeatable price from @Advan-Emotion. great seller, got the item to me within a week. i didn't follow the install instructions exactly as i didn't want to drill any holes.



i didn't remove the bumper, didn't jack up the car and didn't make any holes. i followed the instructions on all of the blue check marks and used doublesided tape for the one's marked with the blue T. i put some tape on the inside of the bumper where the flap goes over and then i just pushed the flap in. locked right in place and is very secure.







also i messed around in photoshop a bit and made a new sig that i think looks great:

Driver's Side USB Port for Charging (6/27/13):

routed a usb extension cord from the 12V socket hidden in the glove box to the driver's side trunk & dimmer panel. gotta find a better way to fix it in the panel, but for the time being it works perfect:




Cleaner Install of Driver's Side USB Port for Charging (7/3/13):

used the existing dummy switch that was in this slot originally. cut off the end that projects out of the opening. the USB extension fit very tightly inside the opening on the back of this dummy switch, enough that i was able to push it all the way in and reinstall the switch making the usb port completely fixed. cut a piece of plastic to clean it up a bit.

Grimmspeed Strut Bar (8/31/13):

installed this on thursday when it came in. it's pretty good. you definitely notice a difference, but it's not as drastic as i had started to believe based on other reviews. still well worth it though. pics below depicting both, the strut bar and my embarrassingly messy engine bay.

FI is the way to go if your looking for power. I did the whole N/A thing, didn't like it.

Clear Red Valenti Taillights (1/31/14):

ordered these from @pansontw for a great price. came packed perfectly and very quickly for being shipped from china. they look pretty great at night, but i can't be bothered to take a proper picture with a real camera haha. they're extremely bright as well. the brake and turn signal are very easily visible during the day. the taillight itself looks great in the daytime as well.

Perrin Shift Knob (2/27/14):

got it for a great price from @Harlow777 who had to sell because of unfortunate circumstances.
