Swung by the Toyo/Scion dealer on the way home and they, after a week and a half of waiting, told me they couldn't get the black tc/vcs buttons. I guess it slipped their minds to tell me. They offered me a set of silver buttons for $67.00 LMAO.

Went ahead and installed the tS trim parts. Will hopefully work on the radio surround and steering wheel trim this weekend. When they are black the buttons will HAVE to go... looks awful black on silver.

nice shifter! I wanted to wrap my silver panels but I ended up liking the red and silver. I might wrap the dash in fake carbon fiber eventually.

I have a whole bunch of audio ready to go in.. Planning to replace the Nav, door speakers, dash speakers, and add a sub.. just trying to decide on a HU.

I'm surprised how there's no legit double din upgrades on this forum (the cafi just doesn't strike me right, too much of a phone, not much of a car stereo). Don't get me wrong, I love the nav, but no preamp outputs? Go figure.

So I'm gonna post a full install when I do mine. I'm leaning on Clarion. And I'll probably sell the stocker for $300

I got my exhaust leak cause pinned down today, as well as had the factory 7500 mi service done. Turns out that two aftermarket exhaust pieces from different manufacturers, even designed to bolt to OEM locations, don't play well with OEM gaskets. So, got a graphite gasket installed by an exhaust shop for $15 total.

There's plenty of good double DIN aftermarket units out there right now. Currently, the best is most likely the Pioneer NEX unit series. I have the Sony XAV-701HD and its a great HU for this car and has good 4v preouts for 6 channels.

No volume knob, but volume buttons work just as well and just as fast and aren't touch screen volume controls.

OH, nav unit... well, that's what smart phone integration is for with use of mirrorlink or app mode, the HU will use your phone's nav apps. Much better than the crap navi unit the BRZ comes with.

Today I did my first oil change with Amsoil Signature 0W-20 and Amsoil filter, and rotated my tires at 1800 miles.

Oil change w/ Subaru 0w-20 and black filter, which the local Subaru dealer did not sell, but the Toyota did. :P

Detailed, but it'll probably rain again.
