This is a dream car to me. Start from nothing. Do it exactly how you want. Its a good thing you have amazing taste! Great job man

Car is off to my tint shop to get 15% on side and rear windows, 50% on windshield. Roof wrapped gloss black, and tail lights tinted. Also ready for install:

OEM Eurospec Center console.
BRZ Trunk liner
Whiteline KCA326 Rear Upper Inner bushings (camber correction)
BC toe arms (Think thats what they are. cant find any info on them)
SPC Camber front bottom O.E. strut/spindle bolts

STS-V · 07-08-2014, 08:19 PM

Updates for today:

Had 3rd brake light and antenna removed, for new tint and roof wrap. Tail lights light tint.

New wheels have arrived. Traklite Trak-K Concave wheels - 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. Bridgestone 235/35/18 and 255/35/18 tires. My, they are pretty.

Pulled entire interior apart. Getting rid of stupid honey comb, fake carbon fiber, and silver. Having all hydrodipped in real carbon fiber.

Bought the JDM leather & red stitch door speaker/kick panels, center stack knee panels, and alacantra speedometer hood. Should be here in a week or two.

Here are all the parts that are getting hydrodipped (plus my rear GT86 badge)

@STS-V where did you get the Traklite wheels from and was it a good experience? I am looking to getting a set and just looking for some feedback.

Thanks,
Carlos

I am a Traklite dealer. They are excellent wheels, have sold quite a few sets.

As requested, here are the pictures of the finished Hydrodipped plastics. I had all them removed, and hydrodipped carbon fiber. it came out awesome. Totally worth the price of admission. if anyone has any questions, I have a guy that does it for half the price I found online - and way faster and better quality.

Alacantra speedometer hood from JPM Coachworks:

Gloss black small hexagon mesh to replace all my other mesh:

Rear 4" kickers sounded like SHIT. So I decided to stick with rockford components for everything. Here is the Punch T152 for the rear:

Wheels all mounted - looks sick:

And I had the roof wrapped black, and 15% tint with 50% windshield.

VERY NICE build and love the way the carbon fiber dipping came out but for the love of god will you put those wheels on already Lol. @STS-V
