Awesome - Thanks for the heads up! :) Looking forward to checking out the track!

Just read through your whole build thread and I must say this is one of the best looking BRZs Ive seen!! Im going down to my Subaru dealership tonight after work and placing an order for my 2014 model, Ive been debating between WRB and Lightning Red and you may have just swayed my choice!! Keep up the good work and great updates!!

Thank you! And WRB was my first choice of color but there were none to be found when I was hunting for mine... But I will say while the Lightning Red was nowhere near my top choices when I first started looking, it has really grown on me over time. I don't think you'll be disappointed either way ;) Good luck with your purchase!

So I have a large update coming next week but in the meantime, I've been finding random photos of my car showing up from 86Fest2, Subiefest and track days and figured I'd post some of them here since they're much better than my usual iPhone pics :P

Thanks to CNCPics, Import Addicts and Tim Scribbles for taking the photos!

P.S. Thanks to all of you who have gotten my build thread to 10,000+ views! I hope you've enjoyed what I've posted so far and I'm looking to keep this thread packed in the coming months!

The TOM's look GREAT on LR. Hood looks very tasteful as well. Good stuff!

Ted- I'm anxious to look over your car at SMMR in a few weeks. Would you mind taking me for a ride? I'm interested in feeling the front end suspension difference and get your impression on the robi V2 oil cooler setup. Your car is almost a carbon copy of what I would like my car to be. I'm almost out of school so I'll be able to spend money on mods soon enough to catch up. Looks great!

wow that is fantastic

one of my friends mentioned that the APR brake ducts removed the DRL's? are yours trimmed or is that wrong?

I wouldn't mind at all ;) See you there!

And this goes for anyone that sees my car at track, as long as the track organizers are fine with ride-alongs, I'm always happy to give folks a ride on track. Just give me a heads up and I'll arrange what I can.

The air ducts will remove the fog lights but they're built to fit around the DRL's (I believe this is true for both the BRZ and FRS APR air ducts). Hope that helps!

Ted, did you end up getting a Voltex wing yet? I'm trying to get a Type 2 1700mm one from one of the vendors here that's parting out. What are your thoughts on it? Too much?

I did! It was supposed to arrive in Dec but it showed up 2+ months early and it's being installed either today or tomorrow. I got the Type 2 1600mm wing and I've been told it might be a tad much (which is why I ordered the APR canards). I would imagine 1700mm might be overkill but if you have plans for a front splitter/canard setup, it could work out.

At worst case, you might want to adjust your suspension to counter the possible understeer that the wing will induce. And this is all assuming you're planning to seriously track the car. If you're just getting it for looks or for casual track days, I wouldn't sweat it ;)

Let me know if you go for it though! Would love to compare the two wings.

Congrats on the new wing BTW.... making me very jealous. haha
