#1, disconnect the fake exhaust noise.
For visual mods, wheels and rear spoiler wing. I don't have a practical reason to have a wing on my car, but I think some versions look great.
Choose a tire, then get the
best wheel that will fit it.
Install ARP extended wheel studs and get open-ended lug nuts. If you plan to "mod", you'll be removing the wheels often. Longer studs provide room to hang the wheel while installing or removing the nuts. The OEM studs are annoyingly short, and they are not robust either. Long open-ended nuts are much easier to handle than short acorn nuts.
The clutch engagement point and pedal feel takes some getting used to. I didn't care for the aftermarket pedal spring, but it's worth a try to see if it works for you. That is if you have issues with stalling.
While BRZ acceleration lacks the head snapping torque of an electric motor, it is not woefully inadequate. Live with it a while before focusing on engine enhancements.
After watching a few videos, let the algorithm lead you onward.
