You'll love the Rexpeed mirrors. Did you get heated or non-heated?

Non-heated, I'm in a premium.

You can get the heated ones and connect it to the rear defrost (or any switch really, this just makes the most sense) if you want heated.

Eh, how often do you use the rear defroster anyways in Texas!? lol. I just got heated because I didn't want to lose the feature...but honestly I've used it like twice since I've had the car.

I've actually had to use the heated mirrors quite a bit.

When we had the ice storm in the dallas area all the precip would just sit on the mirror! I have to park outside so anytime dew or moisture sits on the car I turn on the rear defroster more for the mirrors than the rear window since the air movement will push the water off the window, but the water will just sit on the mirror without being heated. But that's just me! So I also just placed an order on friday from FT-86 Speedfactory for the heated mirrors after seeing where @Turkish

ordered his from! I also ordered the Perrin inlet tube! Can't wait for these to arrive!

Yeah, I mean...it's your situation right there that is the reason I sold my Non-Heated Convex mirrors and bought the new Heated ones. Better to have the feature and not need it than to need it and not have it!

First thing not major, but small photoshoot. The second during the photoshoot I got a package in the mail from @vincent201089

Anarchy Motive shift knob. This thing is nice and from the small test drive with it, it feels amazing.

BRZNutt · 02-01-2014, 04:05 PM

Installed this:

Toyota Part number is: 78101-20150. (Do yourself a favor and get a proper punch to install this. I was able to knock the pin out and press it back in with some rather crude methods and improper tools. A punch would have been nice. Crazy thing is, I was just at the hardware store before I got home and found this in the mail. Too excited to wait or go get the right tool.)

Yeah I struggled with inadequate tools too, at first. What did you use to make for the difference in diameter between the two parts?

But thankfully it was easier then I thought and I didn't. I only wanted to remove the Subaru on the left but loved how clean it looked so I went ahead and did the BRZ too!

How did you do it?

I know you didn't ask me, but pretty much fishing line and a hair dryer is all you need. Some goo gone helps too.

Black heat shrink tubing. Looks professional. Thanks for all your help with this mod.
