WRB BRZ Daily Build
Decided to finally start my own build thread so I can have a place to keep track of the things. I've owned a BRZ Premium trim since 4/3/2015. My girlfriend also owns a FRS (Yeah LOL #CoupleGoals). I'am pretty new to modifying cars (this would be my first) so everything is basically homeboys garage. I will probably most likely changing out parts as I go when I get spare cash but as of right now I'am very into Perrin parts.
Suspension and Misellanous: Perrin front sway bars 22mm Perrin rear sway bars 22mm Perrin front endlinks with polyurethane bushings Perrin rear endlinks with polurethane bushins Perrin front control arm brace Perrin cold air intake Perrin inlet hose Perrin master cylinder brace Perrin 3inch resonated catback exhaust Perrin battery tie down AVO Turbo world stabilizer brackets Asthetics: Bayson R CS style rear spats Bayson R CS style side skirts Bayson R CS STI style Lip Perrin Oil filter cover Perrin Oil cap Subaru OEM rear diffuser TOMS DOT approved red taillights LED license plate lights 20% Tint all way around Subaru OEM fog lights Interior: FT86 OEM arm rest Perrin reverse lock out Perrin shift knob Weather tech all weather floor mats Future possible mods would love feedback: Currently thinking about RPF1 5x100 17x9 +45 in gold rims and mono sport tein coilovers.

Exterior/Body modifications
1) Personally thought the STI spats were nasty because of how bulky and black they look as well as the same thoughts on the STI side skirts. Although if i wanted to spend the money getting them painted and installed would have been a nice option. Decided to go wit a more low profile look with the Bayson R CS style skirts and aprons. Overall they were pretty cheap I think together maybe 130 dollars combined? Good quality. (Have had them on for about a year as the writing of this post)
2) CS style side skirts (atleast thats what I think they're called can't remember) They've held up pretty much the same over the course of the last year and the only complaint I have about them are that one side fits better than the other. But for $80 whose complaining. 3) STI style front lip from BAYSON R as well. I can attest to how well these hold up over time. I've pretty much scraped and bumped the crap out of these things and they're holding up like crazy. I would recommend these to anyone whose just getting use to lower/lowered cars cause well if they scrape oh well $60 only. Plan on replacing with STI lip soon. 4) Toms Tail lights well that's enough said about that. The stock tail lights were just nasty so I had to get myself an upgrade. And I was like mind as well get my girlfriend some too. Overall installation is easy only annoying part is all the easy clips. The hyper relay flash was hard to get in and the metal around the area cut up my hands pretty good. But 10/10 TOMs! 5)Pin stripe idk how I feel about this as of right now just had some extra from my sisters car and decieded why not. Looks okay? EDIT: BAYSON R KIT started to look faded so I decided to plasti dip them with some left over cans I had from doing my girlfriends car. Would recommend doing this from the Gekko Last edited by iLoveMySubi93; 05-12-2016 at 06:02 AM. Reason: Update |

Suspension/Engine modifications
Adding more pictures of things already done to the car. This time showing installation of the Perrin Inlet hose + Perrin CAI intake. Plus Some of the random Perrin engine dress up. Battery Tie Down, Oil Cap, and Oil Filter Cover.
1) Perrin CAI - Right away felt a noticable change in the response from the car (pretty sure it wasn't in my head LOL) Installation was pretty easy for a first timer. The hardest part was taking the bumper off because well fear of cracking the paint but once you get it off its pretty much dummy proof. 2) Battery Tie down, Oil cap, and cover all felt pretty nice not much to say felt like very good quality.

Yeah once you start modifying and think about getting a wing is when the wingless trunk becomes so valuable. I wonder how much it would cost to patch the holes and paint it. |
