I'm planning on running stock for a while to get a feel for the car. I will be buying new rims and when I get winter tires I'll be throwing them on the stock wheels and then I'll be putting the summer tires on my new set of rims.

I probably won't replace the stock tires until after they start getting worn out then I'll probably switch to some all-seasons to be honest. It really depends. I'm only a couple days in. I'll be watching what changes other people make and once I get a better feel for the car I'll see what changes I really want to make.

Congrats on the car! I love the SWP! Any plans on getting mudguards since it's white? I know these things will stain up pretty well when it snows...especially with the salt that's poured onto the streets.

Other than the immobilizer, does Subaru add other security features for the brz...I got my frs but can't seem to find its alarm to be useful..I have the panic mode but what good will that do..I've tried rolling the windows down locking the car and a minute later pressin the unlock button inside the car from the outside which won't let me .. It's good but I wanna know when the alarm actually goes off (if somebody slim Jim's and shatter windows) or it doesn't even have this feature at all

I am in the same place, once I get mine that is. I think that I am going to let the tuner market play with this car for a while before I start really getting into modding it. Also I have a feeling the more work that goes into the twins the more they will become summer only machines...so I am going to have to hold out for a while so that I can save up for a winter beater.

It was a rainy day today and I notice the dirtiest part of the vehicle right now seems to be just behind the trunk.

I may be doing mudguards. I will probably do some type of undercoat. I really need to find out what other people are doing, get costs from them and see what I can find here locally.

I definitely want to get Xpel Paint Protection on the car as soon as I can. After that I'll see!

Hey, congrats. You are lucky that your dealership PDI your car so quick. I know my dealership and the Finance manager but I still need to ask them few times before they can let me take delivery on Sat
Also do you know who carry the rear mud guard? Because I don't see it in Subaru website under accessories.

So far I got the Shark Fin antenna and change all the interior light bulbs to white LED.
I ordered the chrome fender trim and Auto-dimming mirror with home link.
Will order the rear disfusser next week after I come back from Vegas

No clue where to order any of it tbh. Waiting for others to be guinea pigs and then will pick and choose from there.

I noticed how fast you got the shark fin up there. Was it a fast and easy swap?

Super easy, I get it done in one minute.
1. unscrew the original antenna by hand
2. screw the little wire that comes with the new fin
3. double sided tape and stick on the roof
4. done!!
