I skipped ahead. Very classy looking car. Excellent choices on mods and appearance. Good taste. Got a vid of some boost building?

Not hard at all... Have someone fabricate brackets, get rotors(iirc 355's) or redrill oem z06s, ss lines, and I'd suggest a wilwood slave cylinder. Would be right at or below 1k total.

I was looking at CTS-V brembos as well. About $600 for front and rear calipers new! Can't believe theyre that cheap. I'm worried about the bias being completely f'd tho...

Project of the day! I wanted to cover up the intercooler piping and couplers so I ordered some carbign craft 12x12 carbon fiber plates. I cut it to fit and then bolt it up to the bumper support bar. As a bonus it was a great mounting place for the apr splitter rods.

Probably my favorite build thread here. I love this thing, hopefully someday, my future BRZ will look like this.
