Curious to know, which quick latches did you use for your bumper? My tab is starting to bend a little and refuse to snap into place so I’m either debating on a quick latch or ordering the OEM bumper plates (57722CA030)

Had to scan it with Autel https://bestobd2scanners.com/autel/ because engine light is on but I saw no errors. This tool is very reliable, been using it for 2 years now.

- $80 eBay front lip

My car is running fine, don’t really need to do any mods other than suspension stuff when it goes. During quarantine, sitting at home, bored I ordered a bunch of interior stuff. But I forgot I ordered the gas cap STI sticker In black that took 3 months to get here. Car was a bit faster today after install. I recommend it. ��

Nothing at all, just patiently waiting for the warranty to be over so I can start "molesting" it...

Older gentleman in an older legacy wagon rolled up next to me at the light and was giving me thumbs up and asked to swap for a couple days. At the next light he was a car ahead in the next lane with his thumbs up and fist shaking ‘go get em sport’. Finally validated for being a motorist.

I swapped out the sidemarkers to clear and added amber Diode Dynamics LEDs.
So much cleaner looking now.

Hi all! New here, just registered. Got a 2013 BRZ 2 weeks ago.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I adjusted the headlight cut-off up a bit, now #2 is the new #0.

Welcome, nice buy. No idea why you couldn't sleep and no idea what you've done to your 'headlight cut-off'.. but sounds interesting, #2 is the "new" #0. Wish other stuff was as easy.

Thanks!

Was wondering why the headlight adjustment dial has 5 different height/cut-off levels and it's default at the highest setting #0. Definitely the easiest mod and unthinkable with other cars.
