that's partly why I picked SWP....

Now to find a good place to get that chip filled in post-haste!

I will always vote for Dr. Colorchip. Very quality stuff for the price.

I'm picking up KW V3's either this week or the next.

Will leave my new Swift Springs on the car for a while, don't feel like running coils yet, just going to sit on them for a while lol.

Super super close to ordering wheels. I may be going with the limited edition 17x9 +35 dark gray TC105N's. Light, looks great, and not an RPF1 haha.

Mud flaps, to give the illusion of wider tires from the rear

P.S. thanks @genometuning for the sweet deal

Good choice, I did the same - though it'll come in handy when you're prepping for bigger wheels, car gets crazy dirty!

Honestly the stock wheels and tires at oem offset threw tons of crap on my fenders. Good mod regardless of wheels.

Yup, I'm preparing well in advance haha, will probably go with 17x9's as well, if not 17x8

Nice choice with your prospective wheels as well (TC105N's), those will definitely look sweet. Get some meat on those tires

Exactly! I can't even imagine how awfully dirty my white BRZ's gonna get after the wider tires/wheels go on.

Better, but still atrocious. I have a crack all along the bottom. Waiting for the gravel to be swept up before I change out the glass. $100 since my insurance covers the rest.

Still, your repair DOES look better than it was for sure.

I just installed a Raceseng Ashiko Shift Knob that seriously makes a WORLD of a difference with the notchy shifting from 1st to 2nd. Buttery smooth shifts and it looks awesome in my car.

Also dropped in a K&N FR-S / BRZ Drop In Air Filter. I am not really impressed with it. I guess the only way I would see a benefit to it is if I ever drop something else in that requires more airflow? I dunno. At least I can keep re-using this one! Silver-lining?

The stock filter is pretty good. One should not expect any noticable increase in power from just a filter replacement. It's more about being able to clean instead of replace, and possibly better gains when increasing airflow with other parts and tuning.
