That was my thinking. The silver wasn't bad, but gloss and a touch of color goes a long way. I'll take some pics from the driver's seat tomorrow for you. Day 2 for me, only things I notice are rain drops and once in a great while the tint waves, but only on the pass. large section. Only time I catch a reflection.

Noticed today that even though the dash caught sun, the lip on it and low roof kept the sun off the dash panels. Great success!!! No glare ftw.

To each their own. To me, the OEM black look like cheap plastic panels you'd expect in a cobalt. Paint matched with automotive clear to me is a classier touch.

@BoostinIX I, too, think the OEM black is cheap-looking, which is why I'm going to have them glossed. I think the blue is definitely unique and fun. It's Car Show-quality, which is good. I seriously considered paint-matching mine, but my car is just black, so what's the point? haha Good job for doing something unique! If you could get blue Alcantara to replace your black Alcantara on yours seats I would fap all day. I'm looking at replacing the Alcantara with red leather.

Installed my @Diode Dynamics LEDs in my BRZ. They look great and really fit with the satin white paint. Interior and trunk are much easier to see with the brighter LEDs. No more fumbling around the trunk to get stuff!

JPM can do it. I got quoted about $950 each seat, just FYI. Would. Look. Hawt. If you're thinking of having extra seat covers, they're $1k OEM each seat cover, so you'd spend about $2k each seat... better to be inconvenienced with not having your own covers, me thinks.

Or some custom stitching on some bucket seats....

There is a DIY regarding the door panels for replacing the speaker surrounds with JPM Alcantara pieces.

Are you talking about seat overlays like SARDS?

Shouldn't have taken you 1k miles to discover that! Of course, many are faithful to the old school "break in" period, so I won't hold you solely accountable. Have you done your oil change yet? If so, how many quarts did it require? If not, keep not of how many quarts are actually used.

Yea I babied it the whole time being paranoid and all lol. I redlined an AT version months ago on a test drive but this time it felt different on a MT and with two less people in the car. I plan to do oil change along with transmission and differential as soon as I get the oil.
