Added a Hotchkis front brace and Rexspeed hood dampers last week. Took off the Hotchkis sticker because I'm going for a "stock+" look. Not so thrilled with the hood dampers - the brackets need to be at an angle or else the dampers touch the inside of the fender. Also, the sticky tape looks a bit tacky (no pun intended). Will probably go for Grimspeeds instead.

Today I installed a set of wheels in the back of my BRZ...does that count? If it helps, they were just done getting powdercoated!

You will NOT be disappointed with the GS dampers. They're quality and the brackets are well thought out.

@2point0 The fitting is damn near perfect for a $135 mod. You gotta drill and remove some hardware to access top of inside of bumper to attach with the included nuts and bolts. But nothing too crazy. May want to get extra washers as I needed! All in all very very happy with the way it looks.

Next time you're under your car just check for two oval seals just in front of the rear tires. The dealer is supposed to install them prior to delivery. Yours might already be installed.
