I thought I did, but there are so many posts to this thread that I think it might have gotten buried somewhere.
So, yes, I did buy a 2018 BRZ, base model, back in November. It was new old stock and I was able to get a pretty good deal on it I think. |

Nice choice! Love the new BRZ bumper! Have you deleted the sound tube yet? It makes the cabin 3db quieter, and IMO, is one of the best free mods.

Although if there was an option to get the BRZ without the spoiler I would have done that. I think the back of the car looks beautiful without a spoiler. The second day I had the car, I took the cap off the glovebox 12V port and stuck it on the sound tube, which is what a lot of people do I guess. It made the car quieter for a while but then it seemed to go back to being loud, so I checked and the cap had fallen off. I couldn't seem to get it to stay very well so I decided to revisit the issue later. But in the meantime, I've gotten used to the engine noise and I kinda like it, and it's pretty funny that half the people I drive around will start making "brrrrrrr BBRRRRRR" noises along with the engine and they say it sounds cool. Road noise definitely seems to be a much bigger problem than engine noise in the cabin... depending on what kind of asphalt or concrete I'm driving on, I won't be able to hear my podcasts... but I can always hear my podcasts regardless of what the engine is doing... so I'm probably just going to keep the port unplugged. |

Took me a minute to figure out what you were describing. This DIY describes what I meant by "sound tube delete"... http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72263

Congrats on the purchase! Very happy to see another person buying a sports car instead of an economy car!
