So this whole time I thought the Subaru BRZ Nav cost $500-$700 from the dealership. They just got back to me with paperwork to give to Progressive with the part number and total cost of the Head Unit. $2,106.00. Holy crap that's a rip off! Thankfully I'm not paying for it...but that's just insane considering you can get one on the forums for $300ish.

Take the cash option. lol For 2k you could get a loaded Retina Display MacBook Pro to install in your ride.

Girlfriend just was like " I know you said the car was slow, now I know why you want the supercharger"

You're thinking too much about straight lines!! Imagine his attempts to do this on 2222!

So I installed the Whiteline polyurethane positive shift kit in my garage using jack stands... I almost should have sprung for the $20 / hour at DIY, but I got it done and I am pretty sure every muscle in my upper body is sore right now after hulking out while my body was contorted lol.

I will say, for $30, this is a very worthwhile upgrade. About 90% of the perceived drivetrain movement during acceleration and deceleration is gone now and the slight (very slight) increase in NVH is actually an improvement as I have better perception of what the drivetrain is doing (this aspect is obviously subjective). Time for some victory beers!

Coming up soon for me will be smoke tinting the rear lights and DRLs, applying the Lamin-X smoke covers to the fog lights, baking my headlights to black out the chrome (and WRB to the boomerang), and paint and install hella super tone horns. That will put a huge dent in my cosmetic plans for the car.

Should have done the Perrin rear shifter bushing while you were down there!

That would have been ideal, but it just wasn't in the cards.

@FR-S Matt, when you did your brake fluid, how much brake fluid did it take to do all four corners?

I bought 2 of the Motul DOT 5.1 500 ML fluids and had some to spare with using the Motive power bleeder. You definitely want more on hand since It's not too terribly expensive. 2 should be plenty. Just don't spill a lot of it! I almost bled the master cylinder dry, but that was the intent. Just leave a little bit at the bottom, then fill with the new stuff. Bleed all 4 to get the new fluid in and the old stuff out. Wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. Just really messy...

Keep an eye on the for sale section. There's people getting TRD exhausts with their cars that don't want them.

Heck, I'd take one too. Some days I like a quieter exhaust, but I can never make up my mind.

I wanted the TRD since it's a bit louder than the Q300, but man, the price of the Q300 right now (plus the availability)...

Even used, people are wanting the TRD exhaust for more than the Q brand new

@fteightysix probably has the best price on the Q300 and N1 I've seen. I got my SC and headlights from them. Great vendor to work with and great pricing.

Yeah the TRD exhaust isn't very cheap.

There's a new vendor on the forum basically selling them at-cost for this month, hence the panic in my.. text. *sigh* Decisions, decisions.
