Soooooo.... since I have a 2015 BRZ (07X WRB), and the STI/tS fender garnishes are only available for the 02C colour code, I decided to take a leap of faith and buy the tS garnishes anyways, hoping the colour difference wouldn't be too different. Once I got them, i was pleased to see that they were held on by only 3M tape and a single screw. So I simply removed the silver STI piece and bought new 3M tape and attached them on to my existing garnish on my car. Turned out MINT!

Not today but clay barred and detailed it. Even shined the tires which I don't normally do.

WRB changed? Or just the code for some reason?

It's a little darker in shade and a little flatter in finish. You can see the difference in color on my BRZ compared to my WRX

I know there's a thread, but....any thoughts on a roof rack? Thinking about getting one, but worried that it might make the car look a little tacky....

Trunk space isn't really a problem for me now, but i'd like to have it just in case I do.

Thoughts?

Why would it be tacky? As long as you actually use it and not just for looks than I would say go for it.

Yeah, WRB changed. O2C (pre 2015 WRB) on the far end, K7X (2015+ WRB), and E8H (Ultramarine/GBS) on the near end.

Spent the weekend in labor installing Eibach R1 Coilovers.

Weekend well spent!

Oh and clutch pedal drop (best drivers mod that ive done to the car), motul 300 tranny and diff change, and had idle changed to 900 instead of ~600 (Highly recommend). Car drives like a dream now.

Rexspeed Wide view mirrors: Work well, take some getting used to. Love the tint as much as anything!

Grimmspeed Hood dampers: Heavy, but work as advertised.

Whiteline camber bolts: Easy mod for better cornering!

Perrin exhaust tips: Mine didn't go on far enough. Had to modify.

Perrin 16mm solid rear sway: Middle hole +60% is perfect for a little more balance.

Subaru Sun Visor: Heavy and thick. Fits perfectly and keeps car cooler than cheap one. Looks cool (ish)

"Pics or it didn't happen"....
