LMAO by that logic, we would have a forum full of bone-stock cars, and threads about...nothing? Or threads about people complaining about the stuff they hate about their car but "shouldn't" change.

But why buy a car just to change the "krap" it comes with? You should just deal with it. You said it yourself.

Buy the right damn car for yourself.

In case anyone is lost in translation, Cole is targeting RichardsFRS statement about

"Its stupid to buy a car then start changing all the krap you hate about it. Just buy the right car for you."

Thus, RichardsFRS is implying that if you don't like anything, including the torque dip, you shouldn't buy this car and you shouldn't try to fix it. However, RichardsFRS is clearly referring to the interior/ aesthetics only (although he should have been more clear on it).

Now, please resume the show.

Or we just need less members who can't express themselves when they need to be properly different.

The big silver expanse of plastic on the early BRZs is an irritant if the sun hits it just so.
Plastidip or vinyl wrap is a good idea.
I sat in a newer BRZ, and I guess Subaru realized the issue, because the trim around the NAV screen and in front of the passenger are now faux-carbon fibre.

That being said, this is the nicest car I have personally owned (I'm not counting the used Lexus I shared with Mom back in high school).

And if you pull those trim pieces off the newer BRZ, that fake carbon fiber is just a wrap, unwrap it and it's the same silver paint job ROFL!

Haha... Pre-riced from the factory.
Visually, it certainly looks miles better than the silver plastic-fantastic mine came with.
I don't mind the silver accents on the door handles or vent surrounds, but on the dash, it was irritating.
