Looks awesome. Do you mind me asking where you got it from?

Looks like the handiwork of @yospeed. He's got some cool customizable interior aluminum bits.

Hey everyone. I've been off the forum for a while, but needed to come back on, as I finally became an owner last Wed. Pics below are of it color corrected and Opti-guarded. Loving this car!

Finally coming to terms that I backed into a truck two weeks ago.
Didn't do much damage to my baby (which is why I'm in denial - HOW COULD I HURT MY BABY?!?!). Scratched some minimal paint off and scraped one of my tail lights...
SO today I spent the day "celebrating" by browsing the internet for new tail lights... cause I "need" new ones now >.>

Valenti is high up on my list. I really like their bumper replacement lights... However I find I'm really enjoying the unique design Buddy Club has to offer.

I know those are so fine! I just love the reverse lights from Valenti so much...you could mix and match (the reverse light is ~210 through that gb).

Decided to step up from my previous 17" STI wheels to 18". Wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40R18. The way it fills the wheels wells...makes me ponder why I didn't do it sooner.

Japanparts. With shipping around $2k.

BRZNutt, I also have a 2013 WRX and the fact is 90% of the time those are the keys I picked up when heading out the door. I can't explain exactly why, but I just never drove the BRZ like I thought I would. It may have been a bit too cramped getting in and out, but it also may have been I just really love the WRX. I also have an E30 M42, and I probably chose that more than the BRZ as well. At the end of the day the BRAZ wasn't pulling the weight of its depreciation curve, sad to say. Maybe if I had dropped a turbo in it things would have played out different, but wasn't willing to take the financial risk to find out, particularly since that's not even what the car is about. I'm pretty sad about it, but the big check from Carmax pretty much trumps the loss!
