Vinyl Wrapped Fender Trim

The fender trim on the 2017 BRZ was a little dark on a DGM, so I vinyl wrapped it in metallic silver to make it pop out more.

Installed SARD Racing covers on front seats... can't believe how good the fit is. Backseats when I have some more time, but not like anyone can sit back there anyways

Might just be a placebo but it feels marginally more responsive in the mid-range, otherwise not much else. I don't even think it's louder than the stock box tbh haha.

So i did have to get the Metra 10mm spacers for either side. My car came with the OEM sound package with the subwoofer and a rear cam. You will need some adapters for going from Toyota stuff to aftermarket, including an adapter that you can get for $10 on Amazon with free shipping to use the dash USB which allows for quick charge and best Android Auto connection.

I'm totally glad to give up 20mm to spacers instead of buttons and a disc slot that reduce the total screen size. The audio output is insanely better than that stock unit and I'm certain it's because the the speakers are being powered properly. I can also separately control the subwoofer which makes it so the onboard speakers don't have to try to produce sounds that they can't. I'm working on setting the sound and if any of you are good with car audio I would love your advice.

The Android Auto experience is great, but I'm still learning it. Google Maps integration is perfect, though you have to remember to turn location on before plugging in your phone. I frequently forget that. I also have an MLB subscription through T-Mobile, so it comes up in the listening options which has actually reminded me to catch games.

The Sirius UI is also much nicer on this unit. With the stock receiver I always felt it was hard to find channels without scrolling forever. I haven't gotten to all the menus but finding stations for my presets went far quicker.

I bought the unit because for its price range it had the most reviews where the complaints were mainly wishlists that people said they'd probably get if they were willing to invest more. I wish they offered an American version of the DDX916WS because I would have spent the extra, but I'm very pleased.
