2016 WRB BRZ Checking In! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mixtape · 03-12-2016, 03:16 PM

Hey everyone! I've been a lurker on here for about a year but I finally decided to partake in the shenanigans.

I ordered my '16 BRZ in Oct. 2015 and picked it up Dec. 2015. It's my first-ever Subaru and I couldn't be happier with the community so far.

Here she is:

Welcome! Hope you've been enjoying your ride ever since you got it! Been enjoying mine for two years now!

Thanks! I absolutely love it. I owned a 2007 Fit for about eight years so this was a great upgrade and change of pace.

The WRB color looks stunning in your first picture at the dealership!

My previous car was also a Honda, a 2000 Civic Si which I still own. I agree with you that the BRZ is definitely a change of pace. I'm enjoying the BRZ more and more every time I drive it.

Thank you! I loved my Fit to death and it held up beautifully over the eight years that I had it but having recently graduated, moved, and started my career in 2015 I decided that it was time for a treat to myself.

Here is what she looked like right before I got rid of her:

Sweet looking Fit.

Is that a headlight retrofit? I've also retro'd my Civic as seen here.

That looks awesome! It was my favorite upgrade on the car, by far.

Yes, it was a retrofit. I did it in Dec. 2014. Mini D2S, 5000K bulbs, and blue LED demon eyes from LEDConcepts.

Retrofitting headlights was an addition, I had 3 different set ups since 2011 on my Civic. The projectors in the BRZ headlights actually are the same as the RX350 projectors I used in my current retrofit for my Civic.

I've actually been thinking about getting D4S Osram CBI 5K bulbs for the BRZ, but not sure if it would void the warranty if the headlight parts failed in the future.

I feel like bulb replacement would not void the warranty on the headlights - but even if it does, just replace the stock bulbs before going in to claim it. Those bulbs would require a new ballast though, if I am not mistaken.
