A nice gift from my friends over at Baja Designs with a kit specifically for our cars for me to test and review for all of us. These technically put out more light than our HID headlights but have a safe wide beam pattern to prevent glare to oncoming! Install guide review and photos coming this week!

I also ordered the full SSC kit for racing season next year. can't wait.

Would you have a link to the kit you're talking about?

EDIT: Found it

just a quick update, the brackets supplied by rallysport direct do not work well. they dont allow the BRZ fog surround to clip back into the bumper. even with trimming they still are too far forward so you cant aim them. They also sent h11 adapters not the right ones for us. I am in contact with them about making this right.

Got my Enkei PF01's in. hard to find C Street legal wheels that clear the brembos on the PP. Weren't available in black, so I fixed that. Then finally got around to swapping out my FSB for the Perrin 22. Pics of the car with the wheels tomorrow after it's cleaned up and light outside.

The car looks great, but the thanks mostly goes to the good pupper.

Can not blame you, I used the pupper for more "thanks"

Finally had a chance to install smarttap ... i know it's easy. But meh... I just wanted it for tap turning. Cause i'm so used to it from another car I daily.

But extra features are quite fun.
