Gorgeous! The shine is so brilliant!

Took her to her first Cars and Coffee!

Met a guy that used to own a BRZ that still has his OFT he's gonna sell me for dirt cheap. Looks like I'll eventually be getting headers too after hearing the rumble coming from some of the other 86 guys. Anyone have recommendations for UEL headers?

I was looking at the Gruppe-S header since it seems to be a good design and relatively cheap. But CSG_Mike has me contemplating the ACE header

If you haven't figured out the Perrin issue yet, it's likely the mid-pipe that comes directly after the muffler. Because it is v-band on both sides, it can actually be twisted a few degrees in either direction. This will change the angle that the muffler sits, thus changing your tip locations.

To OP, lovely car, you're making the wait for mine much harder! Can't wait to see how some of these mods turn out!
There was some light rain in my area and the side markers held up fine.

There was also a sprinkler head that decided the lawn had enough water and started spraying my car instead, the side markers have zero moisture in them, even after 15 minutes of direct water spray onto that area of the car.

The opticoat made wiping it down so easy, i love it.

AYYYYYYYYY he's basically my role model haha, at least 20% of the reason I got a BRZ after driving his when he got it. He drove mine and loved it.


More updates on the car, replaced the dome, trunk, and license plate lights with LEDs, will eventually do the door puddle lights and reverse lights

OFT and suspension will be two great mods for the car that will really make a big difference. One of our most popular item for the FRS is the OFT, flies off the shelf!

Seems like that's a recurring theme for some people. Same issue and I have a Injen SES catback.
