- Valley Style - dobbrz BRZ - Keep It Clean
 
Okay, So I figured it was time to start a build thread on this forum because I have a couple on other smaller forums. As for my car history, I am a huge S-chassis nut. I have owned 3 in 3 years. two s13s and one s14. I also owned a stanced mk4 jetta GLI for a bit which made me vow never to go fwd again. Anyways...

This is my daily, some people like it, some people dislike it. I love it. The following posts may not make much sense, because it is not in perfect chronological order, but I will try and update this first post when I update my car. If not, go to most recent posts for most recent pictures of the car.

This is pretty much going to be a photo dump. I will try and get it as close to chronological order has possible. There have been a series of height and suspension adjustments you will see. I went through a few different styles, and its going to not make much sense, but I'll let the different time periods/pictures speak for themselves.

Just to clarify. The pics above are not EXACTLY in chronological order.
Currently it sits with shaved rear emblems, no oem gas cap sticker (rocking the circuit soul sticker) and also have the JDM clear turn signals, exhaust, etc. But I am sure that you guys can figure that out haha

HERE are a couple recent ones :

If you are wondering...Yes I have rolled the fenders. Rears aren't done very much, but I also ground down the little bumper tab in the rears a little bit as well. Once again, thanks for reading! I know I didn't give you guys much of a build progress. Maybe I will update the process If you guys are at all interested.

I can take a picture for you if you want when I get home. But I only scraped it when I was at my lowest point. Haven't really had much trouble with it hanging too low. I would only hear it on speed bumps when my car was absolutely dumped. It has since been raised a bit and no longer hear any scraping at all

haha I can snap some next time I do a photoshoot. It is one of my dads. Anyways I am literally 10 minutes away from picking up my spoiler!
Bye Bye stock spoiler hello duckbill! Been waiting for this thing from japland for what seems like forever.

Forgot to take more pics of the Aston. but I put the lip spoiler on. Paint match is perfect and had no fitment issues whatsoever. Pics aren't great but I was in a hurry. Super stoked on how it looks though. Was getting sick of my rear looking the same as every other BRZ in town.

I got an awesome deal on some spyder tail lights so here they are! Had a lot of shadows and stuff to deal with when taking pictures but I did my best. Didn't think to get any pictures with the lights actually on but I will if anybody wants me to.
