-3 days. I am pretty terrible at this.

Small stuff happened within a week of getting it. Suspension, wheels and tires build started at just over a month after getting it.

I bought minor mods during the first week of ownership that did not affect my warranty. After break-in, I drove very spiritedly until 5,000 miles and spent a couple of months researching and planning my mods. This made me feel comfortable that I did not have any warranty issues to claim, then I paid off my loan, and finally modded the heck out of the car.

It was a few months before I started modding my car. Gotta know what you don't like before you can make it better!

well glad to know I'm not crazy! xD

What mods did you guys do first?
big or small, doesn't matter.

First thing I bought was a set of the smoked Helix sidemarker lights. The orange stockers just stuck out way too much on DGM. Second was one you don't have to worry about - the sharkfin antenna. Pre-15 cars came with the dopey looking RC-car antenna. Also have the G2 caliper paint kit to reddify my calipers

.

Next on my list is a TRD or Carsmo spoiler to get rid of the ugly (IMO) Limited spoiler/wing, a replica front STi lip to protect my bumper from curbs/entry/exit and a set of Tom's tails.

I took my clear side markets to the dealership with me and swapped them on the lot :-)

Nice!

I personally love the minimalistic spoiler on the BRZ :3
I suppose protecting the bumper by scraping the lip is a better option /did this a few times already

The toms taillights are my fav too, and I think that'd prob be my first mod when I can find a set from someone cause it's $500 too much!
