Hopefully it doesn't snow for the rest of the week so I can hopefully attempt touching both the scratch and chip up.

Sorry to read this. I've used Dr. Colorchip on my 2011 WRX and it worked REALLY well. Probably would've been even better if I could've followed the instructions exactly and had an opportunity to return to the spots a week later and touch up the paint, plus wax it. If you've got time for all of that, definitely worth the price of the bottle(s).

Shifting is definitely much nicer and smoother compared to stock. Really nice feel to the knob. The horns are noticeably louder compared to the stock puny horns. More bass to it.





Also just received my EmdomUSA GT86 seat belt shoulder pads. Quality is on point and comfort is awesome. No more seat belt slicing up my neck lol



And I snapped a quickie as I hit the 11k mile mark . But I love driving this thing.
BRUH your car is so clean! see you around!!

Stopped for some beer and a GTR parked next to me. I thought my exhaust tips were huge.. but damn, everything on the car was HUGE. Too bad my car wasn't clean.

Are those white Valentis on your car? I've always wondered how they looked on a WRB BRZ since I want them on my car. Looks great!

Swapped my XXR 527's with stockers on Blizzak LM-32's in preparation for snow possibly hitting tomorrow. Thinking of getting some spacers. Also gave it a wash.

Yes, you should buy them



4 months later, I still stare into car's reflections or windows to see those tail lights lit up. Really makes the car look a lot more exotic at night.

The tail lights and turns are very dim "off-angle".. but actually I'm cool with it, since they're so damn bright from distance, once another car comes up close it's not blaring in their eyes anymore. Not good for last minute lane changing though.

lol yep, it's just the reflection. it does look like a big gap though!

the horns are pretty loud. definitely not the roadrunner "meep meep" type of sound like the stock horns have, at least not to my ears haha.

Nice! The pads are a little stiff right now being new and all, but I'm sure they'll be more soft and flexible once broken in over time. I didn't know you can order them custom with different colored stitching. The blue stitching should look sweet.
