WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 804 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Poodles · 04-07-2015, 10:19 PM

Installed from FT Eighty Six:
- License plate LED assemblies
- Door courtesy light LED assemblies
- Super BAD Stage 3 dome light (still dims like factory, can also be adjusted on brightness AND it's crazy bright on full setting)

Installed from The Retrofit Source
- XB LED fog light assemblies was yellow Lamin-X film (these things are just a hair dimmer than the HID headlights, totally worth the price and they bolt right in!) Had to get adapter harnesses from Spoonz Auto.
- Trunk LED light

From HID Powerhouse:
- JDM clear front side markers with their brightest amber LED. Took a sharpie to the base of the bulbs to cover up the yellow plastic as it showed when they were off. Definitely brighter than stock and look great.

Still waiting to go on:
- XB LED front turn signals from TRS, just waiting on my Tapturn to come in.

No pics as the car is dirty

Damn pollen everywhere and just enough rain to make it look terrible.

I love mine! Wanted to make sure I could manage lowering springs while maintaining stock feel, and these do that very well. It might even feel a little better than stock, but you know, placebo and such.

I was just worried about being too low during winter. These seemed like a good compromise. I suspect you don't have that issue in AZ hah.

Took her out for a quick spin to get the mail. Just trying to figure out right now if I begin the final parts of the LED overhaul today or if I do it another day.

I swapped my fog light bulbs for LED's from HIDPowerhouse. I'm very happy with the results.

I posted some pics Here.

Last time I went to the car wash they sent and scraped my rims, area manager agreed to have the body shop next door fix them. So freaking happy to have my wheels looking sexy again

lol no luckily that has never had to be much of a consideration for me. I can imagine the annoyance though

I was thinking about getting the same fog lights. How is the fitment? Is there any gaps around the bezel? I know it's really hard to take pix of lights but do you have any output pix?

What mods do you have? I want a torque curve like that, because I can definitely feel the dip hard right now

edit: may as well throw in a virtual dyno run for shiggles. I'm not sure it feels like a 197hp car, but it's definitely satisfying. No massive torque dip like stock either

awesome steering wheel, where did you get it from and how much?

JDL UEL header. Expensive, but worth every penny, IMO. Stock midpipe & muffler too
