If you do the blinkers, you are going to want to buy the $15 relay to adjust the timing for led bulbs (fixes the hyper blinking when you put the turn signals on).

They are awesome. Got mine from Diodedynamics, stage 2. Super bright from stock and look great in the housing too.



just make sure you have a flasher relay with resistors to eliminate hyper blinking after the install if you decide to get some.

Yea, What @Khazzy said, mine are also Diode Dynamics' stage 2 blinkers with the relay. Love them.

Those look like Stage 1s to me. I thought Stage 2 had a housing similar to the 3s but without ridges. Am I wrong here?

@Mach V Dan Thanks from my niece and I for the great price shipped to Alaska on the WeatherTechs!


@Diode Dynamics Thanks for the logo replacements! My brother shaved them down just a tad to help them fit better. I think they would've stayed down fine with just the tape, but my brother is meticulous.

It's something we've gone back and forth on. The bottom of the weathertech "slot" is beveled, meaning if you put them in without the tape, they might seem barely too big. If you put them with the .8mm of tape, it lifts it up just enough so that it fits correctly, right to the edges. If we made it smaller so it fit perfectly without the tape, you'd have a .5mm gap around the edges if you did end up using the tape.

We've literally spent hours deciding whether or not to make them .5mm smaller or bigger.

Sigh.

-Paul, product development

That weathertech mat with STI logo actually looks pretty sweet. Hmmm.... too bad Socal is pretty much always sunny.

That's why I said that my brother was meticulous. I'm way more relaxed. I saw that it bowed and thought, "Well, the tape should help with that." Even my mom looked at it and was the same way. My brother, however, is a hands-on construction kind of guy (you can see it in his dirty fingernails), so he saw that and was like, "Oh no, this NEEDS to be fixed." haha It's all good. I totally see how it would be tough to decide. I'd rather have the option to shave it down myself, honestly. It's beautiful and everyone I've shown pictures of it to has loved it. Thanks again!

33.5k miles on the BRZ, mostly in crappy Alaskan weather, and I'm just now getting all-weather floor mats, so I understand your reasoning. If anything they're good to have for any kind of accidental spills or to reduce any chance of slipping. Just some food for thought!
