DGM is a real close 2nd for me. When I saw DGM in person I wavered a little on black since it looked so good and would be easier to keep clean.

But I just love black cars.

Ok, the BRZ knob appears to be the same as the STI knob. Screwing the BRZ knob on the STI shift lever worked fine, including the reverse lockout. They appear to be interchangeable.

Really like the black color. The car looks simply awesome. Congrats to you! Oh and the shift knob looks like it will glide nicely.

Good luck sleeping tonight

Hopefully will have my WRB MT this week!

Added installed pics to the first post. I'll try to get better ones tonight.

Can you take a peek under the front bumper and see if there are already holes to install the Sti front lip. My old Sti limited had the holes pre-molded in the bumper and was wondering if it was the same on the BRZ. I was hopping the holes were already there.

I need to figure out a new shift knob also. I have never replaced a shift knob in my cars before but the way the stock one is stitched in four lines just annoys me. I feel the stitching in every friggen shift.

I'll try to remember to take a look. I've got three rides scheduled tonight and two meets this weekend. It's busy being a BRZ owner!

I do not hesitate to recommend the WC Lathe Werks knobs. He does custom work if you don't find a style that you like.

I'm going to try to find one similar to my ITR one.. (the metal 00/01 ITR knob). I'm sure replicas are made so it should be easy enough to find I just like the shape of it and the car is garaged at work so the burning of my hand part doesn't really happen to me..

He can do that shape in metal no problem. Send him an email with a photo.

Better interior shot of the new knob in the OP, btw.
