I am on my third winter in my BRZ, my front bumber has taken a beating in Ohio, I has got a dozen paint chips that have used touch up paint on. Think more do the all the construction near me than the actually winters. The rest of the car's paint is in good shape.

Easiest thing in the world to do. Head-in parking against a concrete stop is the worst. I now stop two feet out (you'll never stick out in the back, our car is so tiny) and save up my scrapes for a big touchup job instead of doing them one by one.

Oh yea, and installed a sharkfin antenna. Where will it end!!

I like to say my changes are minimal, not even noticeable. But there are only two things on your list I have not done, and there are plenty more! This car is too easy to work on, that's the trouble!

The temperature finally went above freezing so I gave it a quick wash today in my driveway. The hose was not usable but few buckets of rinse water water left better results than if I had driven to the car wash and back. Neighbors probably think I'm nuts.

Huge shout out to WC Lathe Werks for doing a stunning job.

New project mu pads front and rear, holding off on the fluid swap out until I get steel braided line.

Beautiful.

Can I ask how much and where you got that?

Also, what happens to the reverse lockout?

Manufacturer was mentioned in the post. All pricing and info can be found on their website.

I'm running this on an AT with a boot retainer so no reverse lockout.

I keep a fold away hose inside just for such days. My neighbours do not think I am nuts they KNOW it!

it's an automatic shift knob...he has paddle shifters on his steering column...one of the most useless mods you can get for an automatic in my opinion

Correction: one of the most useless mod for an automatic in my opinion is a driver..

hot take: Unless you drive a brz, a Porsche, M series or car manufactured before 1980 self driving cars should be required by law.
