It functions the same as the stock antenna. There's no difference in performance (I can't tell even if there is) it's just for looks

I have a SWP and they have a Blizard Pearl. Not sure whether it will match exactly. BTW, why could not you find a Toyota/Subaru fin antenna and get it painted? It would be nice if 2015 or later has a OEM fin antenna

Yesterday, high school kid in a Mazda3 Speed pulled up next to me at the light and started rev-ing the engine. Without even looking at him, I took him at the light up to 35 (30 was the limit) then watched him blow by and continue on through a yellow/red light another 1/4mile up. Then the rollers came on from the police sitting at the light

That should take him off the road!

Getting the color to match isn't easy. SWP and Blizzard Pearl probably won't be a match. Best bet would be to find the paint online, probably cheaper than going to the dealer.

I took the easy route and never dealth with color matching, sorry I couldn't help haha

By the Toyota/Subaru fin antenna I assume you're talking about that "shark" looking one. I liked the curves on the "dolphin" looking one. No idea what the actual names are for the two different designs. OEM fin antenna would be real nice, I can see them cutting corners and just going with a Stubby haha.

Transformer logo with "Welcome to Danny's BRZ"

Good mod, do we know the exact resolution of the screen/picture for best results?

Google says: 480 x 272.

I felt like the OG Moxxi was more appropriate. If I want to fap I have a smartphone

I used a 16:9 aspect ratio and it lined up perfectly. but the other thread ( http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7636 ) claims the manual says "400x234" another guy claimed "480x272" and someone else said "1920x1080" worked well.

I had the "Gurney Flap" installed today. A really nice touch for the rear spoiler.....and it actually does something.
