Shouldn't be any more difficult than a retrofit. Open headlights, disassemble front half of projector from reflector bowl, remove and replace lens (and do any color modding here), reassemble, close headlights. For someone who has done a retrofit before, it shouldn't take more than a couple hours to do this.

Awesome. Can't remember if you can bake the brz housings but would love to switch to these and a phillips bulb from trs but saw we use a different type than normal

You can most definitely bake the BRZ headlights. They use the soft sealant.

The BRZ uses D4S bulbs and ballasts, so switching bulbs isn't as easy (D4S isn't nearly as common in the aftermarket) as with, say, the STI, which uses D2S bulbs and ballasts.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Definitely don't want to switch to aftermarket ballasts to run d2s but I'll definitely be doing the lens. The Fxr were awesome on the m3

I'm guessing you had Bosch bixenons on your M3 to start with? Those were actually pretty decent with a clear lens upgrade. The ZKWs, on the other hand...

[deliroast]

No lol. Mine was an 02 with halogens. Still night and day compared to friends that had Bosch and the zkw

Took it to the best alignment shop in my area (notice the track prepped z06 and f360 on the shop's lot).

went to my local muffler shop. Got a muffler delete made (copied the Berk) for 150 out the door. Double walled 4 inch tips fit the opening much better. Sounds great. Very quite at idle and in sixth. Good deep rumble when going through the gears. I'm happy with the results.

Isn't it really loud?

All of the track pipe set up I have heard in person was like SUPER loud. haha

So, I just added my JDM exhaust tips over the weekend.

Does this change the tone of the sound at all?

It seems like it's a little different now with them on for some reason. I thought the tips don't change any sound.

Just curious.

Yes, the JDM tips change the sound just a little. I didn't notice until someone else pointed it out right away.

Ah, okay. haha

I noticed it when I was entering the freeway this morning. It sounded a little different when shifting at higher RPM.

Time to blast through the gears. This car loves going high on RPM.

I just bought the Diode Dynamics mirror covers...because $50 off sale and tax return came in on Friday. Good timing...I am surprised Steam does not have a sale at the same time taxes are repaid.
