Install wasn't too complicated - like others have mentioned, the hard part is getting the 27mm and 10mm nuts out because of the loctite, and then threading the 27mm back in by hand (after cleaning out the loctite).

I'd budget more than 30 min if you don't have access to a lift though...

I managed to fit a ratchet (1/2" drive) with a deep 27mm socket into the trans tunnel without removing the exhaust... braced myself against the front LCA (I think that's the LCA) and pulled.... wear gloves - you will get scrapes.

I think the worst part was hand-threading the 27mm just right (I needed a short screwdriver/pick to scrape out the loctite after soaking it with goo-gone - I don't think the goo-gone helped much)

Did it on my back with 4 jackstands - definitely would be easier with a lift (or at least a better jack than my Torin Blackjack)

Acetone would probably work pretty well on removing thread locker as thread locker contains the same active ingredient as super glue.


A stainless steel brush also works but it's more aggressive.

Still had to trim about 3/4" off the airbox coupler, took the pic before i removed the rest of the sound tube assembly.

I wasn't aware SPT made anything for our cars outside of the oil cap and battery hold down?

This isn't the SPT you're looking for.







It's actually Supertek (I think that's how they spell it).

Yeah, I was really confused... I thought Subaru of America was starting to be cool finally

Here's hoping it goes to a worthy owner.

Anyone looking for a low mileage (Under 13k) BRZ Limited in SSM in Denver? I can tell you where it is.

What did you end up with?

In California, the passenger and driver side windows have to let in at least 70%. So I went with 30% for the sides. And the rear window I went with 20% because I wanted it darker, but not limousine dark!

Officially said goodbye to the BRZ. I am going to miss it deeply. Maybe another day I will get one.

Why did you sell it again? Was it because you were getting a WRX hatch? Maybe I have you confused with someone else.

PlastiDip'd the wheels with Anthracite Metallic from dipyourcar.com. Did 5 coats using 4 cans. They didn't all go empty, it's just that the cans sputter after dropping down to the last 1/4 or so. Was going to use glossifier, but I really liked how it looked without. It's more of a satin finish rather than flat. Looks better in person than in pictures.







Kinda looks like the driver side exhaust tip is tilted down a bit off after seeing these pics... might explain why it sticks out a bit more than the passenger side!

Are the tail lights painted or are those vinyl overlays? I'm thinking about trying vinyl so I can try both red and amber turn signals and see which I like more.
