2015 Subaru BRZ STI Series Blue Build

Currently: Researching all the little stuff I'll need for boost. Getting the hood painted. Wrapping the center portion of the wing 5d carbon. Possibly wrapping the roof as well.

Current idea behind mine, a BRZ STI. Turbocharged, traditional STI style wing/hood scoop, upgraded suspension, upgraded brakes, upgraded audio, a little lighter, with all the bells and whistles. A car that could be taken to a show, follow it up with a track day, then taken home to be used as a DD throughout the week.
Initial goal is to get the car at the 200whp mark. While enjoying it in that form I will be doing the supporting mods to prepare for boost for 2017. Once the turbo is on I am looking for 280-300whp range. Supporting mods for E85 to see around mid 300's depending on how the 300 range feels.

Previous cars

Thanks! I had a friend of mine get ahold of one overseas for me. Took over 3 months.. Not sure if it's exactly the GT86 Aero spoiler (nur-spec) but it may be. Quality is pretty good for the money, we'll see how fitment comes out.

It looks practically the same! At least from the looks of it! Maybe not perfectly the same but it comes close!
Man, it's so complicated with this wing, i want it, but at the same time i'm like "aaaah" way too big :s haha :p

I did the exact same thing with an STI badge. lol I had one from my STI after I clear-bra'd the entire car and never put it on. I figured Subaru already put a ton of STI badges on the car, one more wouldn't hurt. lol

Size:  235.1 KB I went ahead and did one on the front as well. The JDM one seemed a little too high in the right corner. I ordered one & mounted mine to the bar on the front grill.

I always felt the stock location was good relative to the way the grille was designed but thats just my personal preference

2015 Subaru BRZ Series Blue STI

I had awful fitment on the clear flush style side markers so I ordered the helix side markers and it's a much better fit & a little less reflective. Also finally got around to drilling on my rear bumper for the diffuser.

I like them both but I think I prefer the OEM location on DSOmegaX's.

Took advantage of the diode dynamics 20% off Black Friday to upgrade some interior lighting and my fogs.
Fog lights, door lights, trunk lights, vanity lights, dome light, and brighter license plate lights. Pics to come.

Update: installed the eibach pro kit, waiting on wheel spacers back from corner3 garage. Those guys are great to work with and had no problem swapping out my 20mm for 25mm. Apparently STI wheels do not work with the 20mm. My wing should be installed today, saw it yesterday and it was just awaiting paint. Very excited to see how it comes out.
