Birgey's slow and simple SS BRZ build. Keepin' it CLEAN and CLASSY
 
I've been on here for awhile so I figured I should finally start a build thread. Here's the most recent pic and then I'll go in order from there and add on as I do more. Also, all pics are taken by me unless otherwise noted. Enjoy!

New plates!!!

The day I got her 6/7/2014. Brand new and bone stock. Got it for $2,600 under sticker!

Then came the wheels a couple weeks later. 18x9.5 +38 gunmetal RPF1's from @oakosautomotive

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7417/...528b4d01_o.jpg

Along with the wheels I also purchased Apex'i N1 Exv coilovers. Here she is after the suspension and wheels. Tires are 255/35/18 rears and 245/35/18 fronts. If I could do it again I wouldn't have staggered the tires.

A couple days later I went out for some proper pictures. Gotta love being modded with paper tags still on.

Then August 2014 comes around. I didn't like that the Apexi's were pretty much maxed out in the front and made for a pretty bumpy ride. I decided to switch to ST coilovers and I really couldn't be happier. Installed the coilovers and went a little lower all the way around. Also installed smoked sidemarkers and BaysonR rear spats.

Next we fast forward to December 2014. I added the BaysonR sides and front lip as well as some Honda centercaps color matched to my RPF1's since I hate the enkei caps and didn't like not having any centercaps. Helped my buddy @Jbibbrz install his lipkit so we went for a quick photoshoot.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago (2/2015) and I went to take pics of my friend Nikole's TL. I photobombed a couple pics lol. I had taken off my OEM spoiler at this point to test fit my new spoiler so I went wingless for a week.(I photoshopped the spoiler holes out.)

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/...91c91065_b.jpg

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7446/...6eafe860_b.jpg

So speaking of the new spoiler, that came next. There were always two things I didn't like about the stock BRZ and they were the OEM spoiler and the OEM tail lights. Thankfully @ModBargains.com came to the rescue with their kickass duckbill! It's pretty much slightly taller and more angled up TRD spoiler which, to me, is perfect.

Next I addressed my most hated part of the car. The OEM tail lights. I waas wanting Tom's but then I saw these awesome all red Valenti's and I had to get them.

Gorgeous! I love when it's done just right. It's just right with the right mods added for a subtle classy look. Nice work ;)
