Sorry for the delay everyone. I don't mean to keep everyone waiting for this, I've been traveling around the country for the last month. As for the few who sent me PMs; I would love to reply but for some reason my inbox no longer exists (mods?). I wasn't able to source the correct connections to make this kit completely plug and play. This was a stipulation I wanted to stick to from the get go. I didn't want to use a single crimp or solder connection, so far that's been the down fall of this project. My alternative option required jumping fuses and left tons of room for error. Not that everyone on this forum isn't intelligent enough to accomplish that task; I just refuse to create something with the potential to make everyone unhappy. I don't feel like sourcing parts from junk yards for this project so until these connections are made available I decided I wont be doing them. I don't legally own this modification, if any vendors feel like stepping in be my guest. That being said I would love to help if possible. I apologize for holding everyone up and somewhat letting you down; I will close with this statement. If everyone comes to Albuquerque and line my street with BRZs I will personally do this install for every last one of you, make sure and bring beer.

Looks like we're up to the plate- we have found one of the connectors and we'll be actually manufacturing the others that are not commercially available. I think with those pieces, it should still be the 100% plug-and-play kit you've envisioned. Hopefully we don't have to cut any corners.

Please PM me if you want any lighting or anything, you really got this figured out and off the ground. Hopefully our team can finish it up, and get this great, simple mod into the hands of enthusiasts. We'll credit you in all listings/documentation/guides for this product.

^this is why I buy my shit from them.

To @Lithium though, I appreciate your effort in trying to assemble something like this. It's not easy, I understand. But thanks for spearheading the mod, I'm sure the BRZ owners who receive this product (hopefully soon and reasonably priced) will be grateful you pushed for pnp to happen.

I will keep that in mind for the future. I'm sure you guys can make this into a nice product. An honorable mention actually means a lot, thank you.

Does this mean you will be offering the connectors, pins, crimp tool, etc? I'd love to make a harness for my car with factory fit connectors.

You mean just the connectors? Yes, I think we probably can do that.

That is really just a matter of the logistics involved in offering more small pieces directly on our website, which we're trying to do for everything on our shelves. It seems like it's nothing, but when you have a whole shipping department, ecommerce team, and distribution warehouse, it takes time to get the listing on the website, get the SKUs into the system, and get our shipping guys trained to ensure accuracy. But I don't see any reason why we couldn't!

I can't make any estimate at price right now, and it depends what exactly you need. Timeframe would be 3-4 weeks.
