Installed and painted side fender trim and front grill. Front grill is made by GrillCraft and side trim was a Subaru factory option.

Really nice write up. I really like what you've done so far. I was hesitant on the grill myself but after seeing it on your car I think I might just add one on mine. 👍

Also protects those fragile finned aluminum pieces way better. Plan on installing one soon.

You say the Konis on full soft are stiffer than stock, but then you say they ride better than any other brz you have been in. How is that?

Not trying to be a ****, I am interested in the konis and am looking for some honest owner feedback.

Awesome Car! Can we get a mod list that's a bit cleaner? It's hard to keep track of everything with pictures in the way.

Hey I read your build therad and noticed you said you have issues with the rear ride height. Thats becasue you installed the rear spring perches upside down. A few people have done that. I have that same setup and I do not have that issue. Just a heads up.

I'm not sure why exactly. Perhaps it's the mix on RCE springs and Koni shocks. It just feels like it rides better on full soft. If you're ever in my area you're welcome to ride in my car then a stock car to see for yourself. Who knows I may be wrong and bias.

Yes I read on here about that and I fixed it, but thanks for mentioning it.

I'll post up something for you in the 2nd reserved post I have.

Wow Stockysnail, that is A LOT of work without even going forced induction. I've been part of the Porsche community and I haven't even heard of about 25% of those modifications. However beyond being Boxster Engines a Porsche H6 is very far beyond being different than the H4 and the strategies on how to increase the power they make.

One thing is I really like how you paid attention to interior and cosmetic upgrades. That and how most of us here perform our own upgrades to save money. In the Porsche world 99% of all mods are performed by someone other than the owner of the car.

I absolutely love this community because there is a lot of help others out going on. Also a ton of folks who have the knowledge and know how to help others.
