OK, I finally had some time this morning to take some pics of the car after the mods I have done. I just drove down to the end of our street after I washed the car so I will have to take some in a better location later.

First, the suspension...I can't speak highly enough about Eibach and their parts. I ordered the Sportline kit with the front and rear sway bars and installed them immediately as I hated the nasty wheel gap from the factory. I considered the Pro Street kit but 1" drop just isn't enough for this car so I went with the Sportlines which is a 1.4" drop. It looks perfect with 18" wheels and tires in my opinion. Here is the kit I installed.



After installing the suspension I bolted up the Cusco Strut OS Braces front and rear. The front brace has the Master Cylinder Brace built in and its a very simple, straight forward installation just like the Eibach kit. The combination of these products has kept the factory handling characteristics while maintaining a solid ride quality and majorly improving the look and stance of the vehicle.

I also added the Beatsonic shark fin antenna cover and Carsmo Spoiler to the exterior. I had a few issues with each of these products. The Shark Fin antenna cover fit perfect and installed great but the color is off just a little bit and it drives me crazy. I have to say that the customer support has been great and they are working out a solution for me as I type. I may wrap the roof with gloss black vinyl and then install a gloss black Shark Fin antenna to match so I don't have to deal with matching the blue perfectly. I think the black roof with the tinted windows and black wheels will tie everything together nicely and look very sporty so thats next on my list of mods for exterior as well as smoking the rear tail lights and side markers. The Carsmo spoiler fits great but the bodyshop had to rework the entire thing as it was wavy and would've looked horrible if I just scuffed and sprayed it. It doubled the price I had to pay but they matched the color perfectly and once it was done the installation went as smooth as can be.

Tomorrow I get my first shipment from Perrin Performance and I can't tell you how excited I am. Jeff and Chris are some of the nicest, coolest guys you will ever deal with and the parts they develop are the best of the best. Almost all of my exhaust is coming tomorrow with the exception of the Black Resonated Catback which is still a week or two out. They are having it powdercoated and when their new intake setup is ready to ship I will have both parts on the way. These guys are not only "car guys" but also very personable and provide the best customer support I've found so far. If you're on the fence about ordering from them, don't be. Just do it...make the call and get the best parts on the market for the FR-S and BRZ today!!

Ok, after all that here are the pics. I am loving this car and every day I look forward to driving it. We have a place up in NC just outside of Asheville so as soon as its spring time I'm taking it up for some real roads and corners but at least I have the Florida winter to get the car dialed in first.
