You learn so much when you do the research, though! And you save money. Every time I've neglected researching I've had to pay the price by actually paying more or just wasting time.

If you want a performance upgrade to your brakes the easiest way is pads, rotors, lines, fluid and MCB stopper.

If you want a bling upgrade go with my set-up. The calipers aren't that much of an upgrade. It's really pads, rotors, lines, etc.

If you want a bling upgrade with added performance, go with one of the kits currently available in the aftermarket like Brembo, AP, Alcon, Wilwood, etc..
can i order this stuff from you? you put together everything i need, give me a price, i pay, you ship, i smile ?????

I wish brother. If you noticed, I got the majority of parts from places other than my store.
I might be able to track down the part numbers for the shims, spacer, clips etc. But I couldn't piece the whole "kit" together through my store.

It's raining here and doesn't look to be letting up anytime soon. I'll run through the parts less "physical" pics:
UKDM Subaru Window Foil -


UKDM Toyota Armrest -


LegSport Belt Alarm Canceller - I got this for my passengers as I always wear my seatbelt. When my passengers get in they are unsure as to why the alarm is going off and I have to remind them to put on their seat belt. I thought this would be a good piece to relieve that awkward moment when I have to say "Hey, that's you." and maybe they would just think to put their belt on. Turns out it only fits in the drivers side belt hole. Meh.


USDM Subaru Carbon Fiber License Plate Frame - I only got this to "frame" the tags as they looked kinda meh on the car with no plate frame.

And from previous pages:
JDM STi Valve Stem Caps
JDM STi Oil Filter
UKDM Subaru Carbon-Look Mirror Covers
JDM Toyota Rear Seat Silencer

I will get pics up soon of them actually on the car.

In trying to get the Window Foil I actually received the wrong part.
UKDM Subaru Door Foil -


Among other "wrong" parts not on the car in my posession -
JDM STi Rad Cap - For what appears to be all Suby's but the BRZ.
JDM STi Impreza Push Button Starter
JDM BRZ Back-UP Camera - My Client ordered this for his STi.
JDM Toyota Aero Stabilizing Fins in SWP - Through the Poll I posted I have decided to not install these at this time.

I know. It's so funny! I've now aquired a handfull of different STi stickers and am contemplating on where/if I'm going to install them. If I do move forward with them, I'll prolly put em infront/behind the TRD logos.

The line starting from the aero fin is continued... pretty slick idea.

Yep, that was the point. The vinyl is a lil more glossy than what I was expecting from the original brochure pics but it pulls everything (Fins,Rain Guards,Mirror Covers) together very nicely.
