WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

Black buttons, just the silver to kill on the wheel left...



Also thanks to @Jason@DSG for the badass OEM Forever Driven gauge pod and the Tanabe! Once I get the wheel trim and HKS EVC-s EBC installed I'll clean her up for a proper photoshoot.

Getting the black shifter bezel and buttons on Sunday... It looks good

Just a heads up I don't have the base black trim, my trim is from the BRZ Ts (JDM Sti appearance version.) The Ts parts are a slight metallic black with a bit of sheen to them, where the black trim is raw matte black plastic.

They were just bigger. Not too much bigger but I tried to use an exacto knife to cut around the excess, and I ended up cutting too much. It was just a mess lol. I was expecting it to be a perfect fit. How did you go about them?

Btw I did place another order for 2 more. -_-

Changed my 57xtremes to these just yesterday. Would like to know what you guys think. And if I should change my lugnuts to chrome or something with color.

Did you remove the fog lights or attempt to install them while on the car?

What I didn't realize when I attempted this is you need to remove the fog lights and you need a heat gun.

With the fogs removed, you will see that the slight excess film wraps around the edges of the clear plastic that you can't see while the fogs are installed. The film does not rest flush on the outside edge, but when heated up you can make it rest flush.

Removing the fogs is easy but a little annoying, just turn your steering wheel, remove 3-4 clips, pull back fender plastic, remove 2 screws holding the fog in, remove bulb wire/plug and pull out. Pay attention to which side each fog light came out of and the orientation.. When I put one of mine back in it was upside down and the light was blinding, I then flipped it and it looked like the other.

You can get transparent yellow vinyl on eBay for like $5 and it'll be more than enough in case you mess up. You'll just have to trim it once you get it on which all you do is take an exacto blade and run it around the fog light.

You could, but I think lamin-x is a step up in regard to adhesive and durability. For an extra few dollars its worth it.

The vinyl I got was pretty nice for the price and amount I got. It wasn't thin at all. It was actually decently thick to withstand rock chips and what not. Its vinyl for headlights not just for stickers. Once I heated it up it was a breeze to put on. No soap or anything like that. Lasted over a year through the winter and would have longer I assume. I took it off as I grew tired of the yellow color. In my opinion Lamin-x is only more expensive cause they took the time to measure the fog light and cut it out for you on a vinyl cutter.

I don't see any chrome anywhere else on your car so I wouldn't go with that. Looks great now as is. If you really want to red or blue.

Yeah I was hoping to not have to remove the fog lights. I will probably take the safe route and try to remove them.

Thanks for responding!

I didnt want to either but it's literally impossible to do it cleanly without removing them.

Here's pics from my install:


Film applied, pre heat gun:
