Around 2k miles on mine now. Been an absolute blast driving stick in this thing for the past month and half. I got some weathertech mats for the upcoming rainy season.

Anyone got plans to mod theirs or are most people going to stick to keeping it stock with some removable mods (e.g. tailights)?

Purists will tell you not to mess with it, i think it looks nice the way it is. My plan is more low, tailights, and lip kit.

I think I'm going to lower it a bit once I get some more miles clocked in (around ~600 for now because I have an TL to DD). Also planning to get a catback somewhere in the future as well.

Stirrups?

Solution = Wide Body Kit

Haha, she's got a lot of shoes with buckles. Sad that I wasn't able to notice it earlier before it got worse

Wide body kit isn't in my budget right now lol

Seriously though, unfortunately that will take body work to fix.
Those scratches look more like grooves in the side sill.

Not quite a month and I'm already modding, tbh.

Tomei Titanium Frontpipe, Tanabe Overpipe, Perrin CBE, Whiteline Positive Shift Bushing, Perrin Rear Shift Bushing, Removed my clutch assist spring and lowered the engagement point, Flossy Grip Tape Knob, and I'm picking up Tomei UEL's from a local guy Wednesday. I also have a second set of stock tail lights that I'm mustering the testicular fortitude to take a dremel to so I can spray the housings matte black.

Right now, actually all day today, I've been working out coilovers. Thinking hard on the Cusco Zero-3's, but questioning the ease of having them rebuilt and lack of reviews since Cusco is a somewhat smaller company and doesn't tend to do a ton of business in the US.

Picture from yesterday:

Glad to see some people are modding them relatively quickly.

So officially drove home my Hyper Blue BRZ today. #748 in Jacksonville, NC as a DD.

I shuddered as I drove away from my SRT8, but I'm sure me and my lil'blue will have tons of fun. (My SRT8 was a very close color to this, so that's where the little comes from.)

I haven't "modded" mine yet, but I do plan to go FI in the spring. Probably do some Eibach sportline springs in the spring as well. No point in doing it now since winter is upon us. Invidia CBE and Borla UEL headers will happen next month. Shortly after that will be OFT or ECUTEK, still deciding. Either one will be compatible with whatever FI kit I decide to go with. Oh and spacers. Will definitely need a set of those while I decide on what wheels I want.


I have had the entire front end of the car clear bra'd, and just had the windows tinted this past weekend.
