WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

@Vten that looks amazing! The french stitching looks gorgeous. Could I get you to do that on my car?

While I'm not a fan of Alcantara on steering wheels from a long term standpoint, I must say you did a fantastic job. That looks like it could be OEM, very, very nice.

Used a pre-stitched cover from ebay, from a wrx or something. then used recycled leather for the bottom. wood for the base, and mix of high density and low density foam, first time doing this sort of thing, it was fun and a learning experience.

Nice work and resourceful thinking. Can you take a picture of it inside the car?

Installed my Vanity Plate!

RVL8 is the ski company that has sponsored me and my passion for 10+ years.

and my best friend lost his battle with prostate cancer so I got this for him (proceeds goto research)

Took the better half of three days to install my OEM Audio Plus Reference system. Thank you OCD!

Thanks, I attached 3 pictures, last one is of it inside the car, did you want a different angle?

Since then, as a temporary fix, I made a cup of high density foam that fits tight on the first holder and added velcro to it to secure the armrest in place. I did find a heavy duty hinge. but attaching it might be tricky without drilling holes in the factory pieces which I do not want to do at this point.

Awesome!

I'm still on the fence about tackling this myself - both financially and tearing apart the entire interior.

How much better is it than stock?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, why did you have to get a custom harness made? (Got that info from your link.)

I had a previous '13 FR-S with the OEM Audio Plus System 400+, the V1 exhaust + UEL was loud on the car and the stock system was weak, so I got the system and it made a dramatic difference for that car.

Unfortunately the FR-S was eventually totaled, but I managed to salvage the sub + amp + dsp. I contacted OEM Audio Plus and they created a custom harness to work with my '17 BRZ and 400+ sub. The stock '17 had better sound compared to the FR-S, but still quite the difference going my "custom" OEM Audio Plus setup -- bass punchy, highs are rich, and mids are filled. I went with all CF speakers this time around, so I'm waiting the 200 listening hours for them to break-in.

As far as difficulty, you *could* do it in one day, but I had another car to use and therefore took my time, especially since I replaced all eight speakers in the car. You might get frustrated if you are working under a time crunch and having all the right tools will save you some frustration (trim removal tool especially).

It wasn't showing up in the post for some reason, I see it now.

I'm sorry about your FR-S. That also explains the custom harness. Thank you.

I have a UEL & axle-back on mine and the stock audio system, while good with the stock header and muffler, is definitely lacking clarity now.

I've done several speaker replacements and the plug-n-play "Crutchfield" type installs with factory harnesses and adapters, so I'm sure I can pull it off myself given enough time and patience.

Just gotta start saving up for it now. Thanks again!
