Not much changed yet as I'm waiting for some parts to arrive. However I took some time to edit the first post in this thread, so you'll find some partlist and actual pictures always in the first post.

Since today was a super sunny day, I went out to have some fun in the Blackforest again. Did a short GoPro Video, however Sound is crap so I'll have to see if I publish or scrap it.

Anyway, some new pictures from today. Only new part is the JPM Gauge Hood. Hope you enjoy the pictures

It has similar features to the GT wing (the wing on US BRZ Limited), but on steroids...

... I've been trying to find a part number for it, but can't find it anywhere on japanparts.com

thanks for finding that for me... kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth though, lol. I was hoping it came painted from factory for about $800 or so. $1200 plus shipping plus paint? hmm...

I'd imagine that you are paying for the mark up for rarity of the wing since it is probably not offered in the US yet and it is coming from Japan....

Some small stuff arrived yesterday.

TRD Shift Knob
Grazio&co Solid Color Front and Rear T Emblem in matt black

I love the emblems. They may be a small detail, however adding up to the "black and white" look I'm trying to get with the car. I'm still waiting for my smoked Valenti Rear Lights and my flat black Wheels to complete the look. All should arrive in the next 2 weeks. After that I'll check if I go for window tint.

Ah, and changing the emblems is suuuchhhh a crappy work. Rear emblem did come off easy with no problem, but the front emblem killed my thumb :-( (see pictures below)

TRD Shift knob is just a bit bigger then the stock one, however quiet a bit lighter. Since its bad wheater outside I could not go for a test drive, but at least I love the look of it aready :-)

The Valenti Taillights arrived today, and I just had to install them right away.

However, it was already dark when I finished, so I could not make a proper Photoshooting, but I documented the step by step transformation.

Love the lights, the pictures really dont to them justice.

chadstyle 04-24-2013 10:58 PM

They look great!! I smoked mine to get rid of all the shiny, reflective surfaces but these look really cool when the lights are on.

What's next on the list of mods?

Well, for now, not that much :-) I'm still waiting for my flat black replacement wheels from xxr which should arrive in the next week or so. Maybe I'll add the TRD CAI aswell, however not sure I can get it street legal over here so I'm currently checking this. As the car is quiet a cop magnet I dont want to put in parts that are not street legal over here. The fines are quiet expensive (illegal CAI or exhaust will cost you anything between 500-1500 USD fine the first time they catch you, double it for the secound time etc.)
