I am getting back what I paid in taxes which was around 1.4k so I reslly don't owe anything at all.

First impression . Brz feels alot more tighter than my frs. I bought both cars around similar miles, both had 1 owners and both were in perfect condition. The upgraded features are worth the extra money. The heated seats will do great in ohio weather. Autoclimate work miracles with a remote start. Headlight output is a ton better. Best of all NO CRICKETS yet. My frs had crickets the next day after being bought from the dealers.

There are a few cons: terrible headunit, terrible boomrang light output. (I can use @Acree diy but I'm worry about pulling it apart than wiring jt up) , sorta ugly spoiler, and dgm is not the best color but there was only 2 color choice here unless I travel 100+ miles. Only dgm and wrb were available. I might wrap it during next summer, either a outrageous color or some nice matte white. (Any suggestions?)

I will have a grand or 2 left over after the insurance claim. Getting some mods!

Current mods:
White side markers.
6k bulb.
Debadge.
K&n intake
(From my poor old frs)

Future mods:
Decent price exhaust (any suggestions? Would love an exhaust that doesn't have a loud drone when driving on the highway.)
Motul 300 tranny oil change. (Next month)
Headers (next summer)
Flex fuel kit ( paid $150 from friends frs)
Oft (getting a free one!!!!)
Feed myself decent quality food. (Sushi.... yum)
Decent quality noodles and pudding.
Any other mod suggestions for next summer?
Next year is my co-op year so yayy...
The boomerang from factory is not a DRL, it is a parking light. you can get the diode dynamics module to make it a DRL and it's ridiculously easy to hook up.

The headunit could be better, but it just takes a little bit of precision and getting use to.

i'm enjoying my resonated perrin exhaust, low key, but rips when you want it to.
