2017 Yellow Series

Picked her up a couple weeks ago. This is my daily. I plan to slowly add things here or there but not change it too much.

Current:

Exterior:
  • Prestige ClearGuard Nano paint protection film to the front bumper, lower hood, lower fenders
  • OptiCoat Pro+ on the entire car
  • Prestige Ceraluxe Quantum Ceramic tint 20% all around
  • Custom spoiler graphics
  • Diode Dynamics license plate LEDs

Engine/Performance:
  • Sound tube delete
  • Corsa cat-back with black tips

Waiting to be installed:
  • Velox AOS
  • Clear side markers(waiting for amber LED from Diode Dynamics)

Considering:
  • IRP shifter
  • Velox rear diffuser
  • ACE 350 header and EcuTek tune

Did you add those BRZ wing end cap decals? *edit* I see that you added the custom graphic... great touch!

I'm waiting for the amber LEDs from Diode Dynamics. They are on back order right now. 😕

It has a great sound and doesn't drone at all! However, If i'm completely honest I think it's a little too loud sometimes.

How accurate are the videos of it sound, generally I find exhaust sounds very little like it does in video. How would you describe the sound of the exhaust, tone and pitch wise. Sorry to be so OCD about it but I am thinking of picking up a Corsa as well.

I first thought that AT TIMES when I first had it installed. It's been about 6 months and I'm ready to go louder, especially when cruising along with a fully catless car. Can't even hear mine

Love the series yellow, yours looks great! Nice choice on the Corsa, I have it on my car as well. I agree with @StraightOuttaCanadaEh that the exhaust seemed loud at first. 3000 miles in, it's very tame in the cabin.

The yellow is nice, don't see many around at all. The BRZ decals on the spoiler is a good idea.
