To be fair with that unbroken slab from the hood to the grill it does take on a Tesla/EV like shape.

As for the park lights, I got it shaved and installed one of 3 series park lights from eBay (F90 iirc). Bought the smoked version, so in the daily time, it hides it well.

Off


On


Local member say, it looks like next gen BRZ park light... BUT I did it first, so they copied me!

Hope that answer your question
Wow I've seen people take out the grill but this is unique. You should make a journal. I'm sure that would peak some people's interests on here. Love the gold wheels. Thanks for sharing!

Hello! New on the board! I have owned 2 MKII MR2s over the years and after driving a commuter car for years, I pulled the trigger on a new 2020 BRZ with the PP. The purchase was in July 2020 and just now getting around to the mods - less than 5k on the car, ATM.

I went to 86Speed and bought: a Fujitsubo Authorize R Dual Cat-back Exhaust, Tomei Expreme UEL header, Tomei overpipe, and an ECUtek tune.

Hopefully my goodies come soon. I do not have the room or tools to do the header, front pipe, and exhaust. Does anyone have an estimate for how many hours of shop labor this would be?

Not too concerned about price, just don’t want to get ripped-off. I intend on investing in tools and some other things soon to cut down on shop costs.

Been creeping on here for months and happy to finally have something to say!

Welcome! I estimate it would take a full Saturday for me to do an exhaust like that, so it would be reasonable for a shop to be able to get it done in 4-6 hours depending on how rusted/rotted/seized everything is and if no other parts like gaskets need to be ordered last minute- I highly recommend replacing all the gaskets while pulling it apart to alleviate issues down the road.

Thanks, soundman98! Always love your post around here.

It’s a 2020, so there better not be any rust haha. I live in a small town and their is a custom muffler shop here that I am going to price-out for the install. They do a lot of fabrication for exhaust, but I’m sure they would take my money just to bolt things on. I agree with you, 4-6 hours sounds reasonable when you have access to all the tools, gaskets, and a lift.

Thanks again!

This is the best I can do for now until I get it off the jack stands.

Here is a link to the build process.

Dear Diary,

Well due to weather delays my exhaust, headers, and tune are not coming till next week. So I am just refreshing Fedex-tracking like an insane person to see when my originally overnight delivery will show up (currently stuck in IN)

Good news is 86Speed located me a Corsa exhaust! The Fujitsubo exhaust I wanted would have taken till April/May to arrive. The Corsa is coming from PA and sent out today.
