Razing's Wr Blue BRZ Premium!

My first post here. I'm from the Philly area and love my BRZ so far! I've had it for 3 weeks. Drove about an hour and a half to pick it up from Faulkner Subaru in Bethelhem, PA.

Things I've done so far:
I got my windows tinted the first weekend I had it(35% front & 18% rears)
Nice new 18"x8" TSW Nurburgrings Gunmetal w/ Machined Face wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 245/35's
LED Interior, license plate, and reverse lights

Future Mods:
Clear side markers(on the way!)
Wiring DRL to tail lights
New Speakers w/ sub
Cold Air Intake
17" Winter Tires for stock wheels

Now, here's some pics!

Sweet ride. I have exactly the same wheel (gun metal) and tires setup coming soon. What do you think so far?

I noticed you mentioned that in another thread. They ride much quieter than stock. It's harder to make them squeal not impossible though! They're much stickier.

I haven't tried, because I wasn't interested in putting the OEM caps on. Some other people have these wheels maybe ask them?

Mine was a demo BRZ so it wasn't preordered by anyone. I saw it on Cars.com and picked it up later that day after work!

Haven't updated this once...

Installed some amber LED turn signals... not brighter than stock but I really like the instant on/off compared to standard bulbs. Resistors were an easy install. No more fade in/fade out.

Added the clear side markers a month or two ago. Looks great. Pics eventually...

Replaced the trunk LED I had to one waaaay brighter. Used LED SMD Panel with too many LEDs. So bright.

I got some winter tires on the way. A bit late but nothing I can do about it. 205/50/17 General Altimax Arctics going on the stocks
