Greetings fellow Toyobarists!

Name's Sebastian, I'm writing to you from Germany.
It's been a while since I've owned a BRZ, in my country I am actually among the first 10 to do so.
When it comes to car modifications I've always pursued a kind of unique blend which can best be described as "mine"
I've got this habit where I always find imperfections in any technological device and try to iron them out. In my old car that meant throwing out the engine, brakes, axles... pretty much anything.

The BRZ kinda starts where I left off so my modifications have often been very subtle. Can you spot them all?

I've also designed some modifications by myself and written the DIY on them (In German, I'm afraid), namely how to get a clean trunk (cable relocation), some very secure and pretty much invisible plugs for cancellation of the intake resonators and how to lower the third brake light.

Right now the BRZ is in hibernation after which it'll see a new overpipe, reinforced bearings and a strut bar.
I'll also be continuing to change my upholstery for a better quality and different color. but i'll update this thread when the changes are made.

Until then, enjoy what I've done so far!










Now for the list:

-clear blinker bulbs all round
-cleaned the OEM markings except logos
-Subaru Diffuser
-HKS Intake thingie
-TRD Airbox
-modified intake tube between TRD and throttle body
-Open Flash Tablet tune
-20mm lower springs
-track widened by 40/45mm front/rear
-cleaned trunk
-Dezod Exhaust
-STi Gurney Flap
-TRD Aero Stabilizing Cover
-Subaru Sharkfin Antenna
-Tinted windows
-Lowered third brake light
-Modified rear seat folding mechanism
-new speakers, meh who cares
-Clarion radio
-all instrument lighting changed to blue
-new leather and stitching on steering wheel
-Toyota armrest installed
-heated seats installed
-noise dampening in the trunk
-LED button lights (selfmade) for trunk illumination
-sports seat belts
-STi rear bumper body parts

That's all I can come up with for now. But there's gonna be more, soon.
