My biggest issue was it was pretty confusing figuring out the plastic clips. There are 4 kinds and its like impossible to tell which one goes there. So I ended up using a wrong one on the front, once I figured it out it was impossible to take it out.
Also I didnt have a 7mm drill bit, ended up using 1/4" which is the largest I have. I tried to drill it out more but still ended up breaking one of the clips in the back.
It took me longer then I thought it would, but in the end I got it so pretty happy about that.
Mudflaps look nice in my opinion, they stick out a bit but not too obnoxious (this is not a rally car)

I really don't like that they are not wider, Im probably going to have to get a custom set.

To each his own, I am sure someone will soon release those huge ones for BRZ (if they havent already)

I may regret it when the wider flaps hit cones in autocross lol, but we have ALOT of loose gravel on the roads up here year round. I don't wanna be that guy spraying ppl behind me with rocks, so something wider is what Im looking to get. Have not seen anything beyond the OEM ones yet for 2nd Gen's.

Yea thats my main concern.

Our roads are also not the best but I don't plan to highway drive this car much

Just noticed that my Perrin exhaust shipped today.

Did my 1000 mile oil change!

Took delivery of some not quite overnight parts from Japan. Not installing all at once. If anyone near my area wants to try mine to see if the parts make any difference, send me a pm.

Anybody want to translate important bits from the instructions?

Got approached by a random dude at the gas station today who was chatting about my BRZ. He asked if I wanted some RPF1's for $500 and I took him up on the offer. Now to decide if I want to put my TE37s or these on for the time being lol

I got approached by a random dude once, who wanted to sell me a box of meat. It was the middle of summer and around 85 degrees. I politely said “No thanks”.

I love that subframe "brace" with the cute little mounting brackets.

I'd like to see proof that works

Somebody has to try it out. Why not just jump in?

On a side note, I've searched the forum and don't see it listed anywhere. Does anybody know the official torque spec for the nuts for the STI long steering bolts?

Installed a TOM's Shiftknob today. Like it more than the stock, but not sure if I like it more than the long delren apex'i shiftknob I had on before.
