I definitely see where most would say the GReddy is overkill and eventually I think I'll start swapping out once I've got more parts on the car. I really love the "logos look" like the track cars have and am a month or so away from grabbing the wide body kit. I know I'll also be putting on a Varis CF hood down the road so all of the hood vinyl is just to make the car work for now.
I even threw on an ft86club in that gold patch of logos :-).
Just trying represent the things I respect in the car scenes I guess.

Thank you for all the reviews guys. Much appreciated.

Blending what? It's freaking vinyl… It's an eyesore anyway you do it.

I just got a set of Pilot Super Sports and they feel amazing, but I'm coming from those "all-season" Bridgestone Turanzas so just about anything is an improvement. I guess the Michelin Primacy tires are more fun if you want to break the rear end loose, but for the kind of driving I do ("spirited" driving on narrow backroads) that isn't the smartest way around a corner.

As a designer, I would agree with you 110%. The designs and locations he chose is nothing but tacky in my opinion, kind of ruining the overall looking of the BRZ itself... You know what though, to each of their own, man. If the vinyl cutter is keeping him happy then let him be.

And I'm sure you use your tow hook to take the car to the track also.

The useless negative comments just make me keep scrolling further til the next guy's post.

Thanks for not being constructive unlike the other posters. Grow up a bit man.

You sure you don't want to add "http://" to those URL's? If you want to pose, at least choose appropriate font.

I love GReddy parts. They're all over my VR4, but this looks awful and it should embarrass you... ESPECIALLY if you're a grown man.

I honestly can't hate on that car. It's not my cup of tea, but I think with proper wheels and suspension, it'll look just as good as any other BRZ I've seen. Just different priorities. Most people go with wheels first. Not me, so I can see the appeal of the trunk and spoiler and decals going on first. I would advise clear side markers, @M16MB02 I probably like it because it's so much cleaner than mine right now. haha Black always looks good to me. Also which taillights are you looking at getting?

He's insecure about himself in some ways so he needs to put people down whenever he gets the chance. internet is great because he doesn't have to worry about a real human interaction.

Yeah I wanted to knock out multiple visual upgrades out without unloading my bank account on the wheels and rocket bunny right away. Those are coming in the next month or so though so huge changes.

I actually ordered the Buddy Club aventador tail lights a month ago and Autoplicity had to cancel due to false inventory. Got them coming off ebay now brand new and should arrive Monday.

As for being a poser, I'm not claiming anything I don't have on the car and I'm sliding in things from a cartoon I watched while growing up. I'm referencing a style but I'm not biting anything directly. How many other people are repping "Super Tight Butthole" logos? Lol too funny.
