Israeli Brz, 6 Months of Upgrades and thoughts
 
I bought A white 13 Brz six months ago. I am the second owner with 40km.
The first thing that bothered me is the lack of sound from the engine/exhaust. this car looks so sporty but sounds like a yaris. so i swapped to a full kit of miltek non resonated exhaust and uel Borla headers.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...e785de276d.jpg

Than the cheap interior starded to tackle me so i hydro dipped some trims, plastics and small stuff. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...03154ed9ad.jpg

Than i swapped the stock unit to the android nu 3001 that turned to a great cheap buy for a 200 usd.
I also Installed an armrest, i think that this is a big deal, the cup holes are so terrible, annoying and cheap. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...b8b5f53aa6.jpg
Also Bought the Trd shifter that matched my carbon fiber rep panels. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...cd29677528.jpg.
The Cheap Feel stayed a bit so I ordered the Sard Racing Seat Covers and installed them yeaterday. It looks so amazing, almost wrinkle free, but i think that all these will dissapear in the sun after some weeks. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...ddcbf6d1f7.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...f8dbb45fcc.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...5a29fc7220.jpg. Now The Feel inside is much better. almost like My Sline 13 Audi A3 1.8 that was swapped for the Epic Brz, haha. Also Ordered Silver A/C ring trims and silver Reverse Lock but didnt get them yet.
The outside Cosmetic issue is less drastic becuase the car Looks great from factory. Swapped The stock rims to a Rep BBS. genuine cost here around 5k USD so this is not an option. the stock rims now wear cheapass tyres for drifts only. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...33cfea2c53.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...c21249cb70.jpg
The rear tails was a big deal for me. i hate the clear tails, they look so horrible and cheap. thought to order vallenti's/Buddy's/ Intec but found a much better solution. painted them red haha. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...73eada8bd3.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...b260209f36.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...be9797a9b8.jpg

I ordered An Sti Lip Kit that includs - front lip, sideskirts and two rear small lips.
what do you think i should do next? in the cosmetics department. Power, Tracktion and some other issues will come later.

What do you think about the car now?

looks great! How hard was it to get the plastic ring off around the shifter?

CNX 02-06-2016 05:55 PM

How are the roads there in Israel ?

CNX 02-06-2016 06:13 PM

the highways are awsome but i think that the local roads are crap. there are tons of bumpers in almost every city so this is not easy here.

Yeah i think it sounds pretty clean, it can be over baring if you take the cads off and go pipes.
