Kpally's BRZ build
 
So I've owned my 2017 BRZ with PP since May of this year, and I've just begun modding it! Most likely not going to be going crazy with it as it is my daily, but I do have some cool plans in store for it. This journal is mainly to make it easy for me to track what I've done to my car, to get better at photography/editing, and be able to show other people my progress. I'm always open to talking about my mods/your mods so feel free to comment/PM me if you have any suggestions or questions on my mods!

Current Mileage: 2200 Miles

Current Mods:
- Stage 1 OFT tune
- Tanabe Concept G single exit exhaust

I realized I should've taken some pictures before the exhaust before I installed it, but I completely forgot to. But here's a picture of how the car looks with the new exhaust!

Shame about that stock ride height. Any plans to lower?

Oh most definitely gonna lower it. Gotta get rid of that wheel gap! Haven't looked into it much yet though. Any suggestions? Looking to keep it a daily for a good couple years so I'd definitely want something not too harsh.

That spoiler's just a bit too simple. You should grab a set of these: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/dram...l#.Wyv2PhJKjfY

Really makes the back of the car pop more.

Congrats on the car.

RCE Yellows! They're a great match for the PP dampers!

Oh, also ditch that free dealership advertising license plate frame!

I was actually looking at those but they're quite expensive! I might go with a bigger wing in general in the future so I'll most likely stay with this one until then. But thank you! Very happy with my purchase :)

Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely look into those! Also, I completely forgot the license plate frame had the dealership stuff on it haha.

Ah, well, actually, the price isn't overly expensive when you think about the costs vs costs of getting an entirely new wing.

The cost of the risers is for the development that went into the shells and the inner cores for structural integrity. The shells look OEM and the paint match is superb with probably a greater than 90% likeness to OEM paint.

As far as just getting rid of this spoiler and getting a new one, you'd then need to figure out how to get the holes filled and repainted/blended to match your current trunk, or re-paint the whole thing, or sell/trade it for someone else's trunk. If you decide to just vinyl over the holes then it's always going to look off.

But it's entirely up to you.

Very true. I'll definitely have to think about which route to go!
