Time to put on some more!

Car looks (and sounds) great! Awesome to see a fellow Nebraskan as well. I'm hoping to join the BRZ party in the spring.

You will love it! Thanks for the compliments!

This showed up today

Oh what could it be!?

STi front lip! First of the parts are here! Cannot wait to install this badboy! Finish is awesome!

where did you buy this from and how much ?

I'm interested

thanks

There was a group buy type deal on Massdrop but is over now. You can go to Japanparts.com to order. Fair warning, it is expensive.

Excited to see it installed! I am torn between this and the Chargespeed Bottom Line kit.

This may be put on hold until I get the entire kit, should be before the end of November. A guy I know is going to help me with the install.

Look at what showed up today!

Just gotta wait on the side skirts and will be all set for the install!

Hit 9k last night. Did not even realize it. Turned on the car this morning and BAM. 9000 miles.

Last piece of the STi lip kit should be paid for tomorrow and will be on its way hopefully in the next week or so. STi Lip kit expected on the car no later than the end of October! Cannot wait!

Sad news though, Nebraska seems to be going away from non ethanol fuel. Meaning everything is getting 10% added. Few gas stations left with non E 91 as all 93 and above already has 10% added. Why do I stay away from 10% ethanol gas? Because I do not like hearing crickets, when I filled up with e10 93/91 on my road trip to Michigan, crickets instantly. Switched back when I got home, they went on vacation. So this is going to get a little interesting as the months push on.

How are those wheels holding up? (Paint finish) I've been considering getting a set...

Still holding strong. Picking up a set of Green ones with some Hankook snow tires mounted on them this weekend. Gonna sell the OEM wheels to offset the cost. I love these wheels. Rotated them the other day, still solid.

Edit, not going to get the green ones anymore. Not going to need them.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. BTW, Tire Rack has the blue ones in 16" for $100 each right now on close out...

AND, The final piece to the puzzle arrived! Thanks @Massdrop for making this possible and a little more affordable! Will post pics when installed, hopefully by the weekend!

Well, done did it. Ordered the Cusco strut tower bars in Carbon Fiber. Got a killer bundle deal for the two together. Should have them next week hopefully. Install on the lip kit is going to have to wait a week or so. Work is taking up some time of mine.

This showed up from UPS.

Cusco Strut tower braces, Carbon fiber wrapped version.

and Installed! Carpet in the trunk needs a little refinement but overall VERY happy with the install.

hit 10000 miles today!

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps61e32d45.jpg

Picture is blurry but I had to get it before it changed to 10001. Plus I was watching the road lol.

Installed my Vanity mirror LED's from @Diode Dynamics
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...psd1ef2621.jpg

nice build!

Did you take off the mirrors to get to the bulbs? I've been trying to figure out how to get to those lights. I tried popping off the cover from the front but they weren't budging.

Covers pop right off. Just go to the bottom of the light cover, insert a small flathead, pry it off, will take a little more force than the other light covers in the car. After that, simple pull out the fuse type bulb and replace.

Thanks for the picture, it's a nice detail to your interior.

Lol, plus some customers tell me they buy the brightest option available to discourage make-up application in their cars

well went back to stock, sort of. I loved my Cusco knob, but did not realize how much I missed the OEM knob. So when I say sort of, I did not get the BRZ knob, I got the FRS knob. 1 reason, it looks better with the red stitching on it. Thanks @z3ro for getting this knob to me!

thanks

Very nice car, love the clean mods. Keep us updated.

Through a buddy's vendor. I payed roughly 400 dollars for the set.

Thanks all for the compliments. Hoping to have time to put on my STi Lip kit this week.

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...psyf1flp10.jpg

Not completely done as the front lip was going to take more time than I thought it would.. Should be on Friday but for now, a little teaser.

Front lip is on! Day time pics will come tomorrow. For now I will present this lovely iPhone pic.

As promised, better pics courtesy of my iPhone 4s.

Very pic heavy.

Update!

BRZ is now put up for 6 months. More goodies when I return.

STi push start has been delivered! Unfortunately no install pics for awhile.

A walk around video updating the one from 3 months ago showing the STi lip kit installed. Enjoy!

Just when I thought I was done for awhile, the STi fender vents came out! So naturally I had to order them. Cannot wait to get home and drive again. Common summer!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

Nice BRZ STi lip kit! im planning on getting the kit too. do think it would look weird if it was painted white? or seen it painted before?

I was going to paint everything but the winged parts of the lip kit SWP but decided against it as I like the contrast of the black and white. I do not think it would look weird at all. A member has painted their kit the same way I was talking about on their LR BRZ. Thanks for the compliment. I love how the kit turned out and looks even better in person.
