Red or clear Tom's would be my #1 and 2 votes. Red Valenti's if you really like them. I personally don't, but I am 51. I don't like smoked anything, which is crazy because I had smoke tinted headlight covers on my '76 Firebird...

Your choice should be red or clear

I love both, I would have an issue figuring out which to choose too I lean towards clear more for the valentis on SWP, because of the really clean look. If it was the TOM's I'd go red.

Absolutely no difference like most of the mods I've done on my BRZ

My MB Quart PVwhatever component door speakers ripped, so I had them replaced with Infinity Primus PR6500cs components. Ermagherd, the sound is SO beautiful! I put my stock unit back in since I wasn't as impressed with the AVH-P8400BH as I thought I'd be. Plus I HATE that Toyota's DIN is 200mm. Almost impossible to find a good HU. I want a Pioneer one that fits. I don't like brackets since they make the dash look tacky.

There was corrosion found on the old door speakers' wire terminals due to so much moisture being in the doors. Probably a combo of the freezing and thawing of Alaska, plus I wash my car multiple times a week.

Wore the temp. license until the last day

I finally slapped my plates on. I may shift the plate over towards center a little bit after I see how it is at night.

I actually want the Ti Q300 :o How would you compare noise versu stock ? And do you think about adding a front pipe or is it fine as-is ?

And get the Bayson R replicas ! Perfect fitments on front/rear lips (little problems with side as they are too long) and you can have them all by the end of this week !

The initial start up has a nice low rumble to it and after about 4k rpm is really when you hear the exhaust.. But mostly cause there's no droning while just cruising. As far as adding a front pipe not sure kinda happy with the exhaust as it don't want to attract too much attention.

Yeah I saw the replicas definitely considering them
