I am not huge on fake carbon but that's not that bad, I like the door handles in particular. Nice work on the radio trim fabrication.

The BRZ premium actually has a lot of black trim whereas the FR-S is silver in the same places. Door handles, air vent trim, trim on either side of the climate control, ect. I almost prefer it. Makes me tempted to plastidip.

Installed my KW V3's (and Vorshlag Camber plates) today. Boy that was an adventure, did it all with no instructions like a typical guy and lets just say it was a learning experience...as in i learned to use a little common sense when dealing with sway bars...

Ill take pics of the car tomorrow in the day light, its by no means anywhere near finished, still waiting on wheels and my Agency Power adjustable rear control arms, so it looks a little odd with stock wheels and tires

The set:

Sound recordings before and after show a slight difference in sound. You probably wouldn't notice it if you didn't record before/after. It does rev a bit smoother and I'm noticing the traction control light go off a bit more often so there must be at least a small power bump. Also notice a bit more wheelspin shifting to 2nd under hard acceleration (aids off). Otherwise, feels about the same and I'm trying really hard to avoid the placebo here (it's why I made the recordings)

I fixed Missy front grill today. It came loose when exiting a parking lot the other day. I had to make a tool, out of a bit of brass rod, to lift up the lower part of the bumper and realign it with the grill. All went well and the hole fix only took about a minute to do.
