No mods for me. I will use the Subaru/Toyota designers and engineers hard work on the car and leave it the way they wanted it.

I don't want to void my extended warranty, my dealer said I could only add stuff stamped by subaru or something like that...
But I definitely am doing Exhaust, Intake, and maybe headers- hope to gain 20~hp.

The stuff by Perrin looks real good so far!

Bigger exhaust tips, tints. That's it for the first 5 yrs.

Tint and clear corners, and that's probably it. If I actually get involved with AutoX like I keep saying I will, then it's an entirely different ballgame, and who knows what I might end up doing.

Mine will remain bone stock. The car was made the way it is for a reason IMO.

Definitely staying stock!!! I already "retired" one car which I enjoyed so much as a fun daily driver by modding it heavily. Now it sits in the garage and being driven to the track and on the track only. Reason I wanted a BRZ so I can enjoy my daily driving!

Same. If the car is as great as everyone says, I probably won't want to change anything. At least I hope not.

It was made the way it was because they intended people to modify it

Plan is to keep it stock for as long as I can. May eventually change the springs, rims, and/or stereo if required, but will keep all other stock parts in storage just in case. My B4's original springs are sitting in boxes under the living room table!

Stock for life, for now. I don't know jack about turning my own wrench and can't find any classes to take if you already have a day job, nor have I ever found anyone willing to show me the ropes. Wife's too scared of the car falling on me if I try learning things on my own lol.

Mine is gonna be stock for a good year or two. Then, and only then, the mods begin. I wanna enjoy the "stockness" of it for a while, find the limits, and see which limits I want extended.

Mine will remain stock just as my 10 year old Miata is stock.
