WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?
Took the letters off. I really like how it looks this way. Oh and 2.5" Perrin catback too. |

Maybe I used the goo gone incorrectly, though. That's also a definite possibility. |

I added some pictures (before the trunk/hood are painted to match the car). To me, Carbon Fiber doesn't look good against black |

Good call on getting them painted, I think. Definitely agree that the CF is a weird contrast with the black paint

The CF looks brown when it is near the black paint. Just not my style. The paint code was on the passenger door sticker so it was easy for the paint shop to match it. If all that falls through and it ends up like crap.......I have the original hood, 2 different fins and the original trunk. So I could bring it back to stock

$1.20 (plus shipping) black e brake button. Slowly but surely eliminating all chrome and silver. Not sure what to do about the levers on the middle air vents. Sharpie maybe, lol.

I got my parts back last night. The black hood/trunk look so much better than the CF look. Unfortunately the weather here has been colder so the clear coat isn't fully cured yet. A couple of small runs and a final buffing needs to happen still. We have that planned for early next week.
Tonight I'm going to do the Clutch Spring delete. It's free and easy (so the internet says) |

Nah it replaces the OEM silver one...it screws in, like the original which is on pretty tight but will come off with vice grips or channel locks. I wasn't expecting much but it seems like pretty decent quality
