Thanks, I agree!

Waiting until the rest of my shifter assembly stuff comes in to assemble it all at once.

Thank you!

Couple more photos from today:

Neighbor is also a Subaru.

TRD Fuel Cap installed. Just stick over the OEM piece with pre-installed adhesive.

Posted up at Touge Factory earlier. Needed to order brackets for my BRIDE ERGO II seats arriving next week. Unfortunately, only the driver's side is currently in stock. Passenger seat will be installed in April.

Pretty nice Genesis coupe with quad exhaust in the background though.

I literally break my neck to look back at my car every time I walk away.

Feel free to follow me on the gram! @86kai.

Many here are similarly afflicted. It is not treatable.

Installed Perrin front license plate relocation kit + TRD license plate frames.

Also installed some TRD carbon fiber door handle protectors. The TRD-ification of my car continues...

Small photoshoot at a nearby parking garage.

Cool photo by my gf. I will never actually look this cool in real life.

A huge package arrived today... Preview of things to come.

I had to clean all this up lmao. FML

Was originally looking into the STRADIA II, but I saw these ERGO IIs for a steal price and couldn't resist.

That plate relocator looks a lot better on a 17's bumper IMO. The hole is now truly at the "front" instead of where it curves on the 13'-16' FRS's. Looking good!

Some quick shots before I get her detailed and do a proper photoshoot. She still needs quite a bit done.

Filling up gas after work today.

Halogen Bulbs to LED Swap, BRIDE ERGO IIs installed too.

Swapped some stuff in the shifter trim while waiting for my Rexpeed Carbon Fiber replacement.

Wheels look incredible.

Nice wheels

What did the stock seats look like? Is there much difference while driving?

They look like the stock Scion FRS seats, but all grey.

My main issue with them were the bolsters up top. I felt like I was driving hunched over because my shoulders were squished. Also, they were pretty tall. My hair kept touching the ceiling. I'm 5'11," 165 lbs.

With the ERGO IIs in, I'm in a lower position, and my shoulders don't feel squished. The other bolstering is pretty good though. I don't move or slip during any turns at all. Admittedly they are a bit tight on me. I would not recommend these if you have a waist size higher than 32 (I'm size 32). However, I doubt it will be an issue, since these are discontinued seats.

I was originally going to get a pair of the STRADIA IIs, but the wait would have been a couple months, and they were $2000+ a piece so I started looking elsewhere.

Wheels look amazing! Great choice.
