Worst part? Engine is still stock.

Stock engine but $20k in mods?
What do you have exactly?

You could get there with body kits and painting alone. Then there's exhaust, seats, suspension, wheels, taillights. I feel like my car doesn't look like much, but I have about $10k in parts invested in it. *shrug* Of course... some parts still haven't made it onto the car...

Just did the shifter surround, not bad.

Grip your fingers underneathe the inside of the shift boot and pull upwards, near the front left or front right.

There are 4 philips that hold on the shift boot. Don't let them fall. unless you have a magnet. Detach the cable that connects the traction control buttons. Once the piece is off, you can remove the traction buttons.

I just did the vent circles, though I may take them back off. Not sure if I like it yet.

Carbon Fiber Blue/White Center Plate from @Diode Dynamics .

Great quality and fits mats perfectly

B-R-Z · 11-18-2014, 02:17 PM

The plate I ordered for my Limited came in today, I'll post a pic later. I went with black CF and red BRZ lettering to go with red stitching.

Got the tail light replaced under warranty and the rearview mirror fixed so it doesn't jiggle and rattle anymore. Good thing on the light because when it froze last night the condensation expanded and spiderwebbed the lens. They also reset the front bumper so it lines up properly.
