Talking Plastidip Field Day! Any other cosmetic suggestions?

Hey Guys & Gals,

First post here! Super Excited to be a part of the community!
I wanted this car ever since i almost rear ended someone from a distracted glance over my shoulder after seeing it for the first time. I am in love with the car and find more reasons to love it every day.

I am breaking into modding and customization slowly with simple tinting & Plastidipping. I dipped the spoiler, side vents and chrome lettering matte black and i think it looks great! (ill post pics soon)

Any other suggestions? I know that i want to get the "tint" film on my headlights & foglights. I also want to get the roof wrapped.

I am waiting for the LED kit for the interior as well.

you can swap out the antenna with a shark fin, that's pretty cheap. rain guards for windows. you can dip the the wheels, they look better one color.

This is what I've done: tint, weather tech mats, reupholstered door handles inside, new shift knob, made an upholstered rectangle to fit into that gap in front of the center console, rebadge, recap wheels (86 emblems), and magnaflow weld on exhaust tips that I modded to bolt ons.

I have yet to meet anyone that is a car enthusiast that liked the stock exhaust note. There are so many options for them, best is to go to a local BRZ/FR-S meet and listen to the exhaust notes yourself (Youtube can give you a general idea..)

The things I wanted to fix the most when I bought the car was:
Wheel gap
Antenna
Tail lights
Exhaust

I think it was your post that gave me the idea for doing the vents. I was looking at white cars specifically lol
You have some really good work done. Car looks great! What have you put into it? Ist it all listed in your "garage"?

I second the notion on getting aftermarket exhaust ASAP. You won't regret it. I personally recommend the Greddy Evo3 Cat-Back... it makes the car sound ferocious, albeit very loud without the silencers in. I'll be installing a Nameless downpipe and eventually a Nameless header (when they ship some out), and honestly those with the Evo3 exhaust may be a bit much for most people...

P.S. I did research for literally 4-5 months on what exhaust to get and for me the Evo3 was everything I could've asked for and then some.
