Well did the first mods to the car today, all small, easy, and cheap/free mods. Big thanks to Meng Motorsports for hooking me up with the LEDs. Here's the mods I did today:
Dome Light LED
Door Light LEDs
License Plate Light LEDs
Custom Nav Start-up Screen
Activated the alarm

Posted a new video with some of my updated impressions on the BRZ. Cliff notes: I'm keeping it and have learned to love it.

Well, it doesn't look quite as exotic or have quite the presence as the other cars... but DAMN is it close enough that I don't care!!!

I don't have a cool $1-200k in the bank to buy the other ones anyway. Actually the 996 Turbo is probably less but still at least twice the BRZ's cost!

You can find them on ebay, but the only colors that I've seen are red and blue...

Seriously.

Just installed the AIRAID intake on the car today and did a video review of it.

Just got it installed today, and I LOVE IT!!! Make no mistake though, it is LOUD, but that's what I wanted. People looking for something that's medium to mild in sound, this is not for you. But my friends and I drive around with all kinds of loud and obnoxious cars so I love it. It definitely has an exotic sound to it, and none of the videos do it any justice, including mine. It almost sounded like a Lotus Exige with an exhaust. I was smiling like an idiot every time I got on it. Will be posting more videos this week. But wow, I'm more than impressed. Everything fit really well, and although it drones a bit when the exhaust is cold, once it warms up, it's buttery smooth, even at highway speeds I have no drone, and I have the small resonator.

I believe amazon also sells it for $15. Was thinking about getting it also, or the two piece subaru shades.
