Finally made some time to wash the BRZ and being in California with the constant drought, I decided to try out the Turtle Wax Rinseless stuff. It's definitely nice to save a good bit of water by not needing to rinse. Also nice being able to do it in the sun since you dry the sections as you wash. I will pick up some ONR when I run out of the Turtle Wax, I think I've read that it works better. It's nice that Turtle Wax is at Walmart for so cheap though.

Also, finally got around to making a hole in the front tow hook cover and adding a grommet for the plate relocator:



And finally, debadged "Subaru" from the trunk. I think I like it with just "BRZ" and the Subaru logo. The letters just peeled off using my fingers, no heat gun or fishing line/dental floss, and they didn't even leave any residue. All I had to do after was hit it with some quick detailer/wax.

With all that red, you should have at least +500kW more

What did you use for that dash area? It looks almost like a metallic black?

Took her along for my first autocross. I'm hooked. It's probably the most fun I've had driving a car, ever. Stock Primacys kept it interesting.

Corvette Club organized the event. Friendly people, I managed to do better than several Z06s!

Yes sir, they look so much better and the sound of the catback is intoxicating. I have a new addiction to tunnels and parking garages.

It's addictive. Give it another couple of events, and you'll be pining for new tires (like me).

3M brushed black. Gives it a very classy look. I do want alcantara pieces, so those will be in the future.
@ToyoburuBRZ and @Khazzy thanks!

I like the look of the painted sti side skirts! Was thinking about doing that having it paint matched on top but leave the skirt part untouched. Wasn't a huge fan of having the original side skirt all black so there's a future idea...

Jealous of all you guys with all the upgrades and such. haha I miss my brz so much after my collision which totaled my car. I'll get it back soon enough...don't know when but definitely before this gets discontinued according to the rumors.
