Does anyone know if that chrome fender trim is available to purchase and if it's relatively easy to install?

It looks nice.

Congrats!
Now I can't wait for mine!!

Congratulations! And thanks for pointing out that thing with the interior door handle being gapless! It's been bugging the crap outta me for the longest time

Giccin · 05-15-2012, 04:35 AM

Congrats!!

How's that SWP lookin' in the natural light!?

Mitchs_86 · 05-15-2012, 10:08 AM

Congrats buddy!!! A+++ on the video too! Man I can't wait for mine to come in

The SWP looks truly beautiful in the light. I have it sitting next to my 330i in Aspen White as you can see in a few of the pictures, and it's a good comparison- I was initially worried the car would look a little beige, as some people had mentioned that when the SWP was first seen on this car. Well I can tell you, it doesn't look beige at all, it's a very nice clean white. It strikes a tone between the satin and the pearl, depending on lighting type and strength.
The looks of the car are growing on me a lot. I'd seen one before in person- a red one, but this limited looks quite a bit better imo, and not just because it's mine. haha. It looks a lot more sexy in person, with it's small stature and pronounced curves.

I'll get on to writing my first impressions here in a little bit.

After seeing your pictures, I kind of want the chrome fender trim on my own SWP Limited BRZ. I'm trying to fight the urge though and now I can't seem to decide.

Congrats on your car though! Looks sexy!

ZetaVI · 05-15-2012, 01:23 PM

Congrats! Looks good in the sun.

Hey Tainen how doe's the boxer engine sound to you? Is it better than what reviews say it sounds(like a vacuum or microwave)?

Tainen · 05-15-2012, 03:09 PM

Good question...

It sounds different, for sure. The cabin noise is definitely from the intake, and not the exhaust- so you get less of the deep tone and more of the airy intake noise. The motor is quite a bit smoother than the ej20 overall, so some of that rasp is gone, but not all. It almost sounds like if you mated a honda motor with an EJ, and listened to it's intake sound. I think the right way to make it sound proper would be to remove the intake sound pipe, and do a catback, so you get the exhaust sound and remove the intake sound. Some people prefer that intake sound though, so I'm sure we'll see quite a few different ways methods to modify the breathing system for sound. It doesn't sound "bad" as it is, just... breathy, raspy, and too high pitched for my liking. Although I'm coming from a full turboback ej20 that rattled windows with it's deep sound

could you snap some pix of the front and back of the key fob. i think i found a picture on the forums of the buttons side but can't find it now

Congrats! Thanks for the review. Can't wait for mine to get here.
