Little teaser

This Saturday marks 1 year of ownership on the BRZ, so I decided to pick up a couple things for the car. Picked up some JDM Spec Buddy Club tail lights from fteightysix, and a Motiv Overpipe and Tomei 60S from FT86SpeedFactory. I'll post up some pics of the Tomei installed this weekend after the overpipe gets delivered on Friday. Can't wait

This is a future DIY question: does anyone know how to blackout the inside of the stock tail lights so that it'll have a blackout housing?

I think that would look pretty nice.

It's been done quite a few times... seems like a challenging endeavor unless you have all the proper tools/experience, but I agree it does look mad sweet.

They fit the same as the stock markers. I just made sure that I kept pressure on the housing when I installed the markers so that I got a good seat. Seems to have done the job.

I would be beside myself with anger, especially after having the tires mounted.

The fitment on the Helix is great - they have a slightly different design than stock though. There's a small kink out in the plastic lens so the markers are visible from the front of the car. IIRC, my stock side markers were flat.

Take a look at this thread:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12489

I've been researching for a while. Be sure to read all relevant links and responses because some good advice is hidden in these threads and this is not something you want to dive into unprepared.

Installed a set of Weathertech mats, along with ordering a proper plate frame to replace the one the dealership provided with the car.

Hope my BRZ appreciates it.
Any methods you'd like to share? Mine's starting to look a little second-hand. How do you clean all the annoying little crevices and other hard to reach spots in there? Looks good!
