Ok so I'm a mechanic. A little background on me. I used to fix cars for a living. I've worked at Volvo , Mercedes, ford, Kia, honda. And now I fix commercial aircraft.

Out of the few things I've done to my car. I've noticed this car is incredibly easy to work on. Interior panels come out with little fuss. There was an EMPTY grommet on the firewall to run wires through. Never seen that before. Running wires from the trunk to the front. There was basically a recessed channel in the rear seat pan to route the wires.

I mean little things like that. It's almost like the car was engineered to be modified. I also have a 98 Mercedes. And good luck taking any of the interior apart. Lol. Hidden screws, clips. I mean there's 6 screws alone holding the glove box in.

Anyways done rambling. Just thought it was cool. I'm sure some things are a PITA to do in the BRZ. But I haven't found it yet.
