The installer did not want to do the windshield strip. He wasn't comfortable with how it would've turned out.

I took his advice, the guy seemed amazingly knowledgeable.

All BRZ's flock together

How well was the tint job? What kind did you use and did you come across any problems around the dot matrix?

Hid it from the monsoon that is hitting PA right now lol. Hoping to have some things coming soon for it.

Ordered a knock off mini ELM327 OBII bluetooth dongle and the pry tool set so I can take the panels off without breaking anything. Hoping that the OBII adapter works the first time paid $5.50 for it off amazon (bulk of the reviews said it worked).

I always vote for Danbo, I may be a little biased though.

Tint job looks great IMO

Used standard 3M. Im not gonna try to press the tint into the dot matrix, it looks fine in my opinion. My tint guy tinted over the matrix.

The guy did not want to do the windshield strip because of the dot matrix up there though. He said it would look too white at the top against dark 5%.

I think the only solution for that is to use black vinyl, then butt the tint up against that.

If you don't mind what file types does the brz hu support? I've tried to stick an old jump drive and I wasn't able to select it in the options on the left hand side menu (radi/cd/bluetooth...)

I had Goodspeed Performance in Scottsdale put on my Invidia SS-tipped Q300.

I didn't want to have to drive all the way to Mesa in weekday afternoon rush hour traffic to go to the DIY garage to do it myself (apartment dweller here), so I just paid the guys who ordered it for me to install it.

With a Namless OP/FP (hemholz res & 200cel hfc) and catless JDL UEL headers, this catback sounds FANTASTIC!

In cabin drone is ZERO, but you can hear the subie UEL rumble when you get on the gas and it progresses to a NA growl as the revs increase. Outside the car, it's very audible but not overly loud (but the low bass rumble is definitely transmitted better than the stock exhaust).

All that to say: dear lord this catback is NIIIIIICE

I got a $10 paint stick to (hopefully) fill in all the chips on the hood and front of the front fenders. Yay for thin paint and not buying a clearbra...

I've emailed my brothers GF who works for Futureshop head office. she knows just about every rep so i'm hoping to either get one for free or find out which one is the best so i know what to buy.

Either one will work perfectly fine. It won't matter for car use. I have that exact SanDisk and it works great. Been using since the day I bought the car.

Did my bit to fix the California drought by giving my car a proper wash + wax. Sure, washing the car uses a few gallons of water, but now that the car looks perfect it'll rain, right?
