Thank you for the extra antenna pics! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!

My only complaint with the antenna is that it is not color matched to the base.

Congrats and good luck on the 2nd BRZ.
What do you think on the AT vs MT BRZ? |

The MT has more aggressive gearing; if the AT was similarly geared and had launch control I'd say the AT was better. I enjoyed the shit out of the AT and would not regret buying an AT even after driving the MT. The gearing is easily solved with swapping the FD (an untested by me opinion).

Christmas update:
I have a couple cosmetic mods on order for C'thulhu II, although they won't arrive until at the earliest beginning of next week. C'thulhu understands that the little boys and girls should get their presents first and why stress about rushing the inevitable? On order: Perrin 4" exhaust tips & a few LED bulbs from @Diode Dynamics Also, tonight I updated the color of my nav load screen to be more in theme.

Phase 1 of LED bulbs from @Diode Dynamics are almost here, this will be side marker bulbs, dome light bulbs, trunk light bulbs, and license plate bulbs.
Perrin 4" exhaust tips ordered from @FT-86 SpeedFactory should hopefully be shipping fairly soon(???) And then just a few minutes ago I pulled the trigger on phase 2 of LED bulbs, this time reverse light bulbs and fog light bulbs. Stage 2 white for both. This leaves just the blinkers for an LED swap and possibly the head lights, it will depend on how much the OEM headlight bulbs coordinate with the rest.

Also, in the next couple of days I will be setting up appointments to have the oem spoiler and oem fog lights installed and to have the windows tinted with Carbon 35. I had the Carbon 35 tint on my prior BRZ and it was perfect in my opinion.

So for those of y'all paying attention to this thread, I am in the near to semi-near future I think I might do the blacked out headlight diy and I am considering a few color options for the ring around the projector and the plastic surrounding the led boomerang (I will be not touching the reflector part of the boomerang to keep brightness level the same).
Original idea: red ring / black boomerang New idea 1: blue ring / blue boomerang New idea 2: cherry blossum ring (STI pink) / black boomerang New idea 3: cherry blossum ring / cherry blossum boomerang Ultimately I'll be making the decision, but I figured if you guys like my build enough to follow this thread, I would like to take into consideration y'alls input. If at all possible, I would like to avoid being in that R.I.C.E. thread....

Well, I think tomorrow during the split in my split shift at work I am going to debadge the "Subaru" badge. Last time I did both "Subaru" and "BRZ". I think I will see if I like it "JDM style", I can always remove the "BRZ" badge later if I don't like it. Or I might just stay up late (and sleep through my meeting in the am) and do it tonight
