I went for a cruise today! My sister was riding her Ninja 250, so we weren't going real fast, but it was fun. The car definitely feels a little sad though when you're not pushing it at all.

Made an "OEM" Trunk Cargo Net for my tripod


I used my fiancé's cargo net from her Z4 that she doesn't use. Also about $7 worth of screws, bolts, washers, nylon spacers and two strips of plastic for $2 from Taps Plastics.


And here are the results

I found that Valenti's lights during the day is very dim looking compared to OE or Tom's. I had to return my set and got Tom's instead. To each of his own though

The black housing stock lights look really good. I'm trying to see how well it would be with a black brz.

Nope, nothing wrong with the Valenti's. I just realized it didn't really go with the way the rest of the car is looking. It looked great in the beginning, until I wrapped the roof black, and put on the STI gurney flap. Wanted to jump on Clear Tom's, but didn't want to drop the money on it = /

I know what you mean, I went back and forth for weeks after watching youtube videos. One of the main reasons I didn't get the tinted lights. I remember on my old car I bought aftermarket led bulbs, and the brake lights were dimmer than my stock running lights. So I threw them out and bought the best lights from vled's.

As long as I don't get that, I'm cool with it
