Went fucking nuts on the car along with the 7500mi oil change!

This week I sent off payment for a 1-off custom guage pod, ordered all the black BRZ tS interior parts, ordered the AU BRZ black buttons, JPM Coachworks alcantara guage cluster hood, bought some more opticoat 2.0, a raceseng slammer, and lastly ordered some black genuine alcantara for my interior mods I hope to start & finish soon. Icing on the cake, finally got around to buying Grand Turismo 6, no excuse... just lazy.

Now just to figure out if I want to buy another OEM decklid, drill it and add bracing/support to the underside to strengthen the top (so I can keep the GTR spoiler w/o the paint cracking when pressure/downforce is applied) of just go with a CF decklid w/lip like the Aero Jacket one and sell the spoiler I have to the FI fund...

Minus wheels this pretty much covers all the interior/exterior mods I want to do letting me finally only focus on what 'really' matters... FI

Broke my finger trying to switch out the flasher module from under the dash... Anyhow, got the lights installed and couldn't be any more happier

Thanks again to @fteightysix for the awesome customer service, price and fast shipping!

Enjoy!

Not really, haha! But it is throbbing because taking out the OEM flasher was a pain in the ass... Bare fit in the footwell space and having big hands doesn't help either

Is that what you meant by "blending"?

Looks great! Stock ride height? Also, tires are they 35,40? Any noticeable change in handling/stability/performance?
