First post has been updated with photos from the photoshoot.

This is best picture I could have ever hoped for of the LED Interior conversion. Eat your heart out Subaru

+1 for sound clips when you get your headers installed.
I have the Ark Grip also and just ended up ordering the JDL UEL because i couldnt find any clips online

The cost is around $1k with the same lighting setup. Without the lighting rigs, it's around $500.

I'm up for a photo session once my car is finished. Maybe we can get a group buy together BJUN?

Acree, what other mods do you have lined up for your car? I think you have modified/upgraded every single light on the thing. Damn she's clean!!!

I have a JDL UEL header sitting in my apartment and I've almost pulled the trigger on a JR SC kit half a dozen times. But the lure of an LS swap keeps me from doing it.

I'm actually working with a handful of shops to develop an electronics integration unit for LS/2JZ swaps for this platform. It's going to be a game changer for a lot of the swap guys. I think I'm going to hold out on any major power mod to see how well it does.

As far as cosmetic or other lighting mods, I still have to make one-off puddle lights, and reverse lights. The reverse lights are going to be something else... I will be doing the STi caliper and rotor swap some time this year, and really really like the Chargespeed CF bottom lip kit. I'm not sure if I can stomach the price just for some bit of aero tho.

Wow that is some pretty exciting stuff right there!!! Yes I agree, the portion of my project involving the factory electronics should be fun. If it gives me too much of a headache I will simply eliminate the b!*#H and go old school It is unfortunate how "new" vehicles have an abundance of sensors and controls. Keep me updated with your progress!

I'm actually looking to go with STi/EVO (Brembos). Haven't decided yet because I want dual rear brake calipers. Seems like we have the same taste because I was leaning towards the Chargespeed front lip if I stayed with my BRZ front bumper but that sucker is $$$! lol

Considering you're the only 2JZ swap anywhere close to me, I'm actually very interested in doing some testing and development on your car to ensure this controller is compatible with LS and 2JZ swaps. If you're up for it, let's talk this week. I think I could provide some very attractive features for your build. There's no reason to go old-school.
