The relatively easy access to seemingly everything you might need to change (from lights to oil filter, etc.). Feels good man. It's obvious that they built this car with modification in mind.

I also love the auto-unlock with the key in my pocket thing. Makes me feel like a boss.

Try telling your friends and/or spouse that the only way they are allowed to close the door is with the outside handle or with the black trim at the bottom of the window, they can't touch the glass or the paint. It did not go over that well.

Agree... I am trying to install some flat LEDs inside the handle that once the interior lights go on, the LEDs in the handle go on. Like the new BMWs. Just need a day off without the gf around.

Our doors should have one of those auto closing features like the Rollys Royce. Push the button once your in the car and the door will close by itself.

I also looked like a d-bag when i yelled at my gf for slamming my door out in public.

Just within range of one of the antennas with the dome light set to door. If I remember the manual correctly there are 6 antennas for the key fob placed all around the car and by the trunk. It only works for the push-button ignition on the limited model.

I used this:

It's perfect for that housing, but you need a 3x5 card cut to fit the housing or something similar (and ideally, black) to keep it centered. It comes with adhesive backing.

cruising late at night, see some nice bright HID's approaching off in the distance.
assume it's a beemer or merc, gets closer and notice how freaking low and spread out the lights are, think to myself jesus what is that i want one. (out in the country, no street lights couldn't really make out the body)
watch it pass in the side mirror, realize it's a brz from the tail lights.

that feeling when the the car im lusting over is the same car im driving.
