That was why I always refused to install the rear diffuser kit until I could get a new exhaust. I told my friend my car was crying for bigger exhaust tips to fill in those gaps!

Ark Grip or DTS. Someone is selling them for good deals. Check member classified. Maybe Perrin or Nameless if you don't mind the size 4".

Agree 100%

I don't even mind the stock wheels much although the gap is kind of big and they could be wider. They actually look fine to me. Exhaust is more bang for your buck (and if you like loud go Evo3... yeahhh.. beautiful noise)

First thing I did was wheels, tires, and coilovers with a 1.5" drop.

Exhaust will go on once I get my turbo kit. I figure I'm not going to get an exhaust until the car has enough guts to accelerate quickly and sound good.

I see so many cars with coffee can exhausts and automatics that sound all loud but take 2 years to accelerate from stoplights, IMO nothing is worse.

Unfortunately, our FRS/BRZ's are so gutless, they are not much better. All sloppy and NOJOE.

Spent Saturday at the Subaru Challenge at the SIA plant. Saw maybe 6 or 7 of the fastest naturally aspirated BRZs in the Midwest. This car can really sound good with the right exhaust and looks good with wheels! In the end, best tires and smooth driving was the winner.
