Picked her up after a month of being shipped across the country. Lawd, she was a sight for sore eyes!

2. The gotdamned headrests. The whole seat is comfortable to me until you get to the headrests. I feel like my head, neck and shoulders are being pushed forward and it makes my neck/back hurt. And I'm a girl, so when I wear my hair up, it's 300x worse lol. I saw a thread on how annoying they are but no solution was really provided aside from buy aftermarket seats or flip the OEM headrests around. I may try flipping the headrests around...I know not everyone has this "problem" but if anyone has any other solutions to this please feel free to share
The headrest can be flipped around to slant the other way. This is usually for helmets, but a ponytail takes up the same amount of extra space.

I would also like to know how to make the doors autolock...

There's an auto lock module sold in Japan but you can import it. Locks once you get to 30 mph or something like that if I remember correctly. I saw it on here forever ago.

Funny that you should have that problem. The BRZ is one of the few cars we've had where my wife doesn't complain about the lack of ponytail space. The ponytail check is normally a big part of any test drive. She does tend to recline the seat more than I do.

There's not a factory option for it. What I was speaking of is an aftermarket module it was posted way back when. I'll do some digging when I get home to see if I can find it. I believe it was $150-200 off the top of my head could be wrong

Installed a Velox Motorsports diffuser with optional suspension covers over the weekend.

















Very impressed with the fit and finish so far. Can't wait to do some high speed track testing with it.

Fairly new to the forum and casually read here and there. My first time uploading pictures so I hope it works. Just installed Wedsports newest release, the SA72R in hyper black. Was able to snag the early bird special. Feedback appreciated

Sure I'll do it later. I haven't actually used it since installing it. That is to say...I haven't actually looked at the camera while backing into spots lol.

From what I remember seeing......it does look like it's staring at the ground and it has those rainbow lines. I'll check again tomorrow. If that does happen to be the case I'm still fine with it. I bought it because of those stupid cement floor blocks. Really hard to see but the car itself is fine for regular reverse parking.
