My "50 Shades of DGM" Build

2013 Subaru BRZ Limited
I've had my car since September of 2013. It was a wedding present from my wife.
A special thanks to a few people that helped me with my parts,
Jay@VividRacing
Rallysportdirect.com
Ian@MAperformance
Shiv@Openflash
THmotorsports.com
Slick@Slickautomotivesolutions.
My current modifications are as follows....


Interior:
Cusco Drift Turn Knob
Cusco Shift Knob


Exterior:
APR Carbon Fiber Front Wind Splitter
Seibon VS Hood
AeroCatch Locking Hood Pins
Cusco Carbon Fiber Antenna
Abflug Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Lamin-X Window Tint
Cusco Front and Rear Towhook (Because Racecar!)
Tom's Tail Lights




Wheels:
Rays Gram Lights 57C6 18x8.5 +35mm offset
Red Rays Center Caps
Black Rays Lightweight Lugs
Nitto NT555 255/35/18


Suspension:
Tein S Tech Springs
Cusco Struts
Front Strut Tower Brace
Front Engine Room Brace
Whiteline Camber Bolts
Rear Strut Tower Brace
Rear Lower Power Brace


Engine:
Greddy Drop in Filter
Cusco Intake Tube
Open Flash Tablet
Cusco Oil/Air Separator
Cusco 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap
Tomei UEL Headers
Ark Grip Exhaust


At this time, I am done modifying my car probably. I may do a few small cosmetic things, or adjustable coilovers. I'm not sure. I only have 17k miles on it, so my wife is making me wait till I go thru the warranty before I supercharge or turbo it. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will. Everything with the exception of mounting and balancing the tires has been done by myself and my family. Better built than bought IMO.


Thanks for reading.


Tim

I was planning on tracking it. I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. I am in remission now and plan on tracking it as soon as season is over for me. I am an executive chef at a country club in south Florida, so there is no time for anything at the moment. But I am definitely excited about getting to a track.

No... Its actually really nice. ZERO drone, no popping... its pretty sexy in my opinion.


As far as pictures, all I have is an Iphone 6 and a Surface tablet. I don't do a lot of forum pictures, so if someone could tell me how to post them, I would be happy to.


Thanks,
Tim

Host your photos on a site like imgur, phtobucket, something like that. Then use the bb image code to paste into here. Should be the code that has img in front and at the end of it.

okay. I will post photos tomorrow. I can assure you they wont be the best, but I will try and get some. Any particular shots or angles anyone wants? Im pretty flush on wheels/tires/fenders. I have about 2mm of poke on the front, but that's cuz I didn't run a 245 on the front instead of a 255. Was hoping to be able to rotate my tires. Not really noticeable, but I notice it. Lol.

Yeah, same opinion. I installed my headers first, and noticed a slight difference in sound. Then 3 weeks later did the exhaust. Still a very nice sounding exhaust. Its very deep. I actually set off a few car alarms in a parking garage at the mall. It was funny.

Just try to get some good lighting in a bright area with no direct sun or hard reflections on the car in the lens. Don't need to be a pro, but a cheap cell phone photo at midnight under a dim street light doesn't cut it. lol
