Tail lights and fender markers both arrived last night. Love the tails but the quality of the fender markers was really poor. Excess plastic in places had to be scrapped away to install the bulb and the metal tabs were so stiff I almost couldn't get the second one in (doesn't help the metal on the car side appears rusty and soft there either).

Please excuse the dirty car. I'll be taking care of that tonight.

Ordered several items from AliExpress and do not remember any of them taking a month. 15-20 days.

I recently installed a red STi push to start button. I ordered from a dealer locally, but through their online parts department, for $93.


I think it came out really nice, especially with my red reverse lock-out.

Got new tires last week, decided to get an alignment/corner balance today, and raised my ride height about 1cm all around. Was tired of scraping the front lip; plus the new tires rubbed a bit going over dips in the road.

Installed a set of mud guards, so I took the BRZ off-road and into the swamps to test them out.


The guards kept all the mud off, and the horsepower gain was especially useful in when climbing the bank of a stream.



They also protected against alligators biting my tires.

I'm hoping that you washed the undercarriage and wheel wells thoroughly after your off-road excursion? Whilst climbing the stream bank you may have inadvertently picked little critters that will grow into little monsters with an appetite for steel..... Mud guards have a habit of containing all kinda of shite that normally would grace the side of the car...
