Oh, man...this car could get costly.

Not one to mod my car, but this car makes it so tempting.

So far I've just tinted my windows 18%.

Though I just ordered:
1. Toms US Spec tail lights
2. Nameless 2.5" Street Axleback and High Flow Cat Package (Replaces Overpipe)

Hopefully I'll stop here. I'm supposed to be saving for my own business. lol

I bought a BRZ Limited thinking, "It already has everything I want. No need to mod anything when it comes with everything already..."
Yeah right, who was I kidding. :/

I'm not doing performance mods at all because I don't want to mess with my warranty, but I've spent $500 just on "look pretty" stuff, lol. And that's not including the $500 radar detector...

OFT/OFH, Nameless overpipe/frontpipe, and Crawford BPBs! You know you want to.

Also transmission bushing, shift bushing, engine mounts, diff bushings, RCE Tarmac/Bilstein B8, steering rack bushings, short shifter, hood struts, Volk wheels, better tires, etc, etc, etc...

It can be an expensive hobby. Fun though!

To be fair though, look where you work. That's an awful lot of temptation.

Tires for this thing are dirt cheap compared to my truck, especially if you stick with 17s.
