Lots of small developments over the last few weeks.

-Spoiler is on. Considering the absolute hell it was to find a wingless trunk, I wasn't comfortable drilling it myself, so I had a friend do it for me. I feel like it's mounted a bit farther back than it should be, but the fitment seems more aggressive, which is nice.

-I did a full rear debadge with the new trunk. Decided I didn't like it after a few days. It felt empty. The holes from the badge were a pain to cover. Also, the FR-S garnish doesn't have a trunk button? Ended up adding the Subaru badge and BRZ garnish back. Left the Subaru lettering off, and got a black Series Hyperblue BRZ badge.

-Got a cool 86 oil cap from someone locally. I thought it was the Grimmspeed one, but on closer inspection, it's from another company called Zeta Products. Adds a few grams of weight, but I'm ok with it.

-Decided to do some engine dress-up work, mainly motivated by the hideous lime green Interstate battery the shop installed when fixing the injector ECU. I decided to black out all the yellow engine bits at the same time. I noticed some scuffing when I reinstalled the battery, so I'm not sure that the battery reconditioning paint I used was the best choice for this application. Still, the engine bay looks better.









Hoping to do a proper photo shoot within the next couple months. The weather hasn't been cooperative.
