Swapped over to full LED treatment from @Diode Dynamics. Not really happy with the warm white I chose for the Dome and Vanity lights, so I'm going to try to exchange for another temp. The rest looks great though.

I hated it. Discolored and looked cheap IMHO. I may change to CF down the road, but I like this one....at this moment

I disassembled the coil-overs in preparation for install, giving them a coat of T-9. I got the car up in the air, pb blasted the current suspension, and did other prep work for tomorrow's coil-over install. Excited. Can't wait to get up early, dial in the pre-load and get to work.

Had the same dilemma. Thought warm white would just be a softer LED look but it ended up looking nearly the same as OEM. They exchanged it for me with no issue though.

Installed the DSG special edition coil-overs in the rain. Sorry no pics. Rust sucks. Had to cut the front end links off. Managed to get both lower bolts off; and had to cut the uppers.

Everything is clunky and I think I got the pre-load wrong. Will try again next saturday morning. Drives pretty good besides some clunking. Height is way off; it's higher than stock right now. Going to let it settle before I dial in the height.

Camber plates are awesome.

Even though there is snow still on the ground in some parts of Chicago, it needed a wash. Pulled the "Subaru" and "BRZ" logos off of the back. If my clear side markers and led's come in today they will be going on too.

Saturday I got to help my buddy @PA-86 install a Whiteline transmission support poly insert, then drove around his ACE 4-2-1 header equipped car for a back to back with my JDL UEL header. Good times







Monday I got my new tires 245/40/17 Bridgestone RE-71Rs



Today I got my new wheels courtesy of @OAKOS Automotive 17x9 ET35 Gold Enkei RPF1s. Right around 15lbs and as awesome looking as I had hoped!
