I love getting her opinion on things routinely whether she understands them or not. So…when she proposed this change I had to make it happen! We’re sitting in the car one day and she tells me, “You know one thing I’ve always wanted you to change?” Excited as can be I eagerly responded “What? What? Tell me!!!”. She went on to talk about she’s never liked the silver accents that our cars come with. I must say, I concur! I don’t dislike them as much as she does, but I have always preferred the black alternatives that can be found in the tS and even the matte black interior pieces sold elsewhere.

Moreover, I recently got the chance to see a USDM tS at a dealer and was pleasantly surprised to see they came with the interior trim that had the satin black finish found in the JDM tS. I loved the way it looked and figured it was time to check that off the list of to do’s. In this case, it is what some would call a honey-do. It’s not often that I get a mod done that she inspired or talked into existence. Admittedly, it was always on my mind but her proposal to change it pushed me over the edge. Well that… and of course seeing it in person on the tS! Anyways, here it all is…






P.S. I also picked up a TRD MOMO Steering wheel a while back, so I figure I might as well catalog that into this post as well. It hasn’t been put onto BRZ3N yet. Naturally, the HyperBlue stitching prevents the ease of just throwing red stitched parts onto the car. But hey, you pay to play the game. Exclusive color and special edition? Awesome! However, the inherent changes to the interior mean an extra step or two financially to get it done correctly. Not too dissimilar from what I had to do with the armrest I’ve added.

Before signing off I just want to say thanks again for your checking out my build! I appreciate any and all support, love, compliments, questions, quandaries, concerns, critiques, etc. Less Stress, More Love!

I have been going back and forth with adding the black interior pieces myself. How did they turn out?
