Vdub's 2017 Subaru BRZ Limited PP Series.Red

[Vdub]

Replaced side markers a few days ago. Actually bought both the Helix smoked ones as well as the JDM Subaru clear ones because I couldn't decide. Ended up putting on the clear ones to better match the headlights. Also swapped the bulbs for OLM white LEDs.

So I swear I'm not just trying to copy you (be flattered I suppose? ) but...

Got my A119S installed, very stealthy with all of the wires hidden. Already had enough close calls that I am glad to have it just in case.

I also found a pretty good deal on the Magnaflow exhaust.. looking forward to that one as well. Your exhaust video is probably the best comparison I've seen/heard, definitely sold it to me.

Smoked side-markers are on my list too, just need amber bulbs due to local laws. No tint for me though again due to legal reasons, looks good on yours though

Awesome. I love how easy it is to hide the dash cam wires the entire way into the glove box.

No worries on copying, haha. I'd be more concerned if you lived anywhere nearby since it would take away from my uniqueness, but I see that's not the case!

I am also required to do amber bulbs by law, but I did white LEDs anyway and just figured I could swap them in the unlikely event I get pulled over & questioned about it.

Is that the 2017 specific tube? I just ordered mine a few days ago. I have a generic <2016 tube on now and it pulls a bit. That looks like it fits a lot better.

As far as I know, Perrin hasn't made a redesigned tube specific for 2017. This is the same one they've been selling for the last few years. But I think the size of the chamber it connects to is only slightly different, so I didn't have any trouble getting it to work.

They did that is why I mentioned it, has a different part #. This is what I ordered http://perrinperformance.com/i-23899...86-manual.html
Since the '17 stock tube is different shaped this is supposed to match up better.

What's the part number on the filter? I thought the 17s couldn't use the filters

Ah, maybe I did get that one then and didn't realize it. Definitely didn't take me more than a few seconds to slide it on there, so fitment seemed pretty good.

The '17s (manual) can't use the same filters as '13-'16s or '17 auto. This Blitz filter was a newer design specific for the '17 manuals. Got it from ft86sf.

Blitz part numbers from the box show:
WT-162B
59624

amber side reflectors works better on red. you might regret swapping those out
