Your car looks great, and I really like the Z. Probably wasn't easy to let it go after 30 years!!! :confused0068:

I have the Katech 3rd brake light blinking module in our Outback and on our BRZ. I think it is one of the best safety upgrades an owner can add to our very low cars. I have the intec high mounted 3rd brake light.

Selling the Z was definitely bittersweet. I'd just had it with the never-ending cycle of replacing parts on a 35-year vehicle which was a daily driver. good idea to combine the high-mounted brake light with the Katech module. i might look into that in the future.

Your DGM is what all DGM BRZ's should strive to be. #goals

Yesterday, I added an 'S' emblem to my trunk in the same position the TS emblem is placed. Since this isn't an STI or TS build, I decided to designate it my own model 'S', which I shall claim stands for 'shiumai, supercharged, sport'...whatever. The S comes from the Subaru WRX STI S204 trunk emblem and it's STI pink, so at least it's a Subaru emblem. People 'in the know' might smile and recognize it as some kind of inside joke, and others might just go 'WTF? i've never heard of a BRZ model S." All in good fun.

Added some vinyl badge overlays - took a few pics today. They're from jdmfanaticvinyls.com and are red with silver stars. i'd like to see chrome offered so they match the OEM badge. they're an inexpensive way of adding some contrast to the darker cars and easily removed if you don't like the way it looks.

Yes, they're very comfortable. I've been using one on the shoulder and another on the waist for the past couple of years. Here's the thread where it started:
