Tidied up my interior a bit. My steering wheel and dash was just nasty.
All it needs is a vacuum now and a few more wipes after.

I put on the frameless manual dimming mirror I bought from FT86SpeedFactory.com. I really wish I would have done this sooner. It cleaned up the interior more than I would have imagined and works so much better than the garbage OEM Homelink unit.

How difficult was the swap? I don't even use my homelink unit.

It was ridiculously easy. Unscrew the mounting bolt, remove old mirror, unplug the electrical connector, put new mirror on, tighten bolt. Done.

I'll be hiding the wire and electrical connector once it gets above freezing outside.

The only tool you'll need will be a T20 sized torx, I found a universal torx tool in my basement. Truth be told, that finding the tool was the hardest part.

I wouldn't say it was something ~*I*~ did, but this happened to my BRZ today:



Construction truck ahead of me was apparently carrying some totally un-secured box of shit. Box falls out onto highway, going sideways into the lane to my left. I figured I'd be all right because it was flying away from my lane, but a pickup in the left lane bashed it with the corner of his car, blew the box to bits, and bumped a nice metal thing (a lamp or something? IDK) right back at my car. It was the middle of rush-hour traffic so there wasn't really anything to do other than suck it up and run it over. The good news is I managed to put it between the wheel and the radiator / engine sump, so it looks like only the bumper was damaged.
