Gave mine a much-needed washing today. I've put it off due to drought warning, but they do allow washing still. Been over a month, I think.

Also put my Nameless axleback on again. Been running a muffler delete, but I've been getting sick of it for DD. I really only swapped with the intention of fixing the tips on the Nameless as there are cracks showing, but I had kept the delete on out of laziness. I'll deal with the imperfection, since this looks and sounds much better.

UEL tomei header should change things up a bit soon

btw, fuel cap sticker off. nice job! some people refuse to take it off as they "paid" for it...
I think I like it. My sister actually texted me a picture of a new corvette today with.. "quad exhaust??" Like it's 'not' normal

Yeah previous owner got the sticker.. plenty of girls mentioned they liked it.. ALL car guys said it was gross. Had to listen to the car guys

So far I have painted the silver interior trim black, changed out the interior and license plate lighting for Diode Dynamics LEDs, installed WeatherTech front liners and MAXpider rears, debadged, installed a Tiger Blue Anarchy Motive shift knob, and yellowed out the sidemarkers and fog lights....

But today was the first non-cosmetic modification I have done on the car and I couldn't be happier. The slippery slope begins My break-in passed about 700 miles ago and I just installed the K&N air filter I had bought even before I had the car. I also removed the sound tube and am more happy with the DIY plugs than the ones I have seen for sale. I went ahead and got rid of some of the yellow in the engine bay since i had the paint for the sound tube delete.

an example of stock (since I forgot to take the before pic):


and after:


Love the octagon cap

Washed it / cleaned it. When finished, I fired up my ca-fi android head unit to check the news and ran into Jennifer Lawerence's leaked photos. I forgot about my BRZ for a minute - lol.

So why don't you go just front lip and no sideskirts, that's old school Subaru.

I think it looks great. I'm not a fan of the sideskirts.

I installed my amp power wire today and the tabs on the firewall grommet broke off, so it bulges out 1/2" on one side. Should I be worried? Maybe just run some silicone to be safe? I figure nothing will ever get there since its behind the battery, but you never know
