So I think I previously had a build thread on here but I guess you could say things got pretty serious :P
If you want to see the tiny details, the full build is here:

Anyways, I will skip the boring stuff and get up to speed...
Was this (stock):
Then this (trd):
Then we stuck an AVO turbo kit on it, which made the car feel like it should have from stock:
Made this possible on semi slicks:
Fitted AP racing brakes front and rear:
Then the real fun started:
Not being happy to be like everyone else, we moulded the kit into the body:
Made some custom (functional) BRZ fender vents:
Also didn't like the way the RB kit ditches the pretty rear fog light, so we moulded that in too:
Added a Seibon hood (which we painted, as you will see later):
After the car was painted, the 'original' stock colour, I decided I didn't like it.. I probably should have thought of this first:
The toys meeting for the first time:
Got some new rims:
Choosing new color:
With colour chosen, reassembly began:
You can see the blue pearl in the bright white paint in this pic.. It's very noticeable in the sun - pics don't really do it justice:
Lip, skirts and diffuser is painted in the 'Tornado Grey' metallic.. Inspired by the two tone white/grey of my R35 GTR.
Body was completed.. :
You can really see the blue pearl coming out in this pic:
I suppose you will be happy to know that all the while the body was being done, the spare FA20 engine was undergoing an overhaul also:
Sleeved, forged pistons, rods, decompressed:
Kalen from Forged Performance built us an exhaust manifold (twice, because of clearance issues with the ATI pulley, but that is something I don't think either of us want to talk about LOL):
