Phenominal! Good job and thanks for the write-up.

You my friend, are a baller shot caller. Can't you just buy the damn steering cover piece?

You can try and sell the scion cover to an 86 owner in japan lol.

There is a person in another country that wants your Scion stuff. Do a trade. Shipping costs only ftw.

I drive an SC400 with Toyota Soarer stuff including airbag- traded with an Aussie for my Lexus stuff. He feels special and I enjoy confusing the Lexus people at the dealership when I show up for my free carwashes.

Why didn't you just buy the Subaru and badge it GT86? It would have been cheaper in the long run and you would have got the OEM HID and creature comforts lol

so, if the airbag doesnt deploy because of your "mod" and you die... does that mean your parents have nobody to sue and will have to cope with the fact their child did this to themselves?

also, does this mean you have voided your warranty?

So if you know nothing of how the airbag system works why even comment? I did my research. I know it will work. The only thing that was swapped out was the actual airbag itself. The original system that deploys the airbag remained intact and was connected the way that it came.

Yeah the warranty is voided. So maybe that should be a disclaimer on this write up huh? Damn so maybe I should never drive a car without an airbag again since you know...I will die.

Your comment makes absolutely no sense. So let me buy a Subaru and badge it a gt86? That would entail doing everything I have already done AND changing out the front end.

There is no "cover" the whole thing is the airbag.

I just hate doing things half-assed. Go hard or go home ;). But yeah more upgrades will come eventually. Gotta get all the things that SHOULD'VE came with this car first. EDM GT-86 HIDs are next on the list. Then a new head unit.

Cause the brz front end is ugly? simply buying an hid kit is quite simple. And he can put in whatever stereo he wants.

Wouldn't go so far as to say ugly (my opinion) but I don't like it, especially the "mustache". I love the aggressive front of my car. And I like the GT-86 HIDs way more than the BRZ HIDs. Never been a fan of OEM gps head units anyway, except Honda's. They kinda got it right lol

It's simple. Someone needs to make one without the bomb! I could see how that would probably drop the price by half.
