Alright so again, crappy iPhone pics and videos. The glare kinda ruins how nicely lit all the LEDs look, and the HIDs do not look that blue at all in person. Mostly white with a small bit of blue. I really like how everything turned out. The pics just suck with the glare to really see how nicely lit everything looks.

LED dome light.




LED switchback turn signal/parking lights.



Just a quick video to show the switchback with the flashers.



LED license plate lights.



LED reverse lights.



LED rear turn signals.



HIDs that look much bluer than they are.





HIDs, parking lights, and high beams.



LED trunk light.




Shark fin antenna.



Really crappy picture of the mirror overlay. These help a ton with the blind spot.

Someone had a busy day indeed! Good stuff on the lighting! Who did you go to for your LEDs? I love mine from DiodeDynamics. Also, all HID's will show blue in pics, you should see a photo I took with the BRZ boomerang LED strips lit. Super blue!

Thanks! I got a few different company's LEDs. Check the OP to see the exact places.

Car is still at the shop getting the new window put in and all the glass cleaned out. Someone decided to be a prick and shatter by driver's side window. I'll never understand some people.

It was supposed to have the RCE Starter Kit Lite installed tomorrow, so I guess that's gonna be put on hold.

Got the car back last night. Like I expected from this thin Subaru paint, there are some chips from the glass. It also cut up the rubber weather guard on the bottom of the window. Touch up paint is on the way, then it will get polished and buffed. I may see if a buddy of mine who has is own detail shop has any recommendations on what would be best to do about it. You can't see the chips from 2 feet away, but looking really close, you can. I'm so pissed that my brand new car had this shit happen.

Dude that makes me sad. People need to keep their hands off of each others stuff. Was anything missing out of the car?

Nope, just doing it to be mean.

haters gonna hate. Real sorry this happened man.

Still have not seen you around town haha but hopefully sometime. I recently got my windows tinted if you are looking for a shop that does some great work. Auto Glass Tint was the place. L and 88th. They have worked on a couple BRZ/FRS' now so they have experience in it. Lifetime warranty too.

http://www.autoglasstintco.com/

May need to hit you up on that buddy of yours and his detail shop. I have a minor scuff from what looks like a door. couple of chips near it too (just clear coat).

Any pics on the car with the new springs? Or still on hold?

I'm installing my catback, overripe, and catted front pipe tomorrow, then my buddy is installing my RCE kit hopefully this weekend. The detailer owns Exotic Detail. His name is Cory.

Look at all these Omaha folks! Very nice. I'm the douche with the dirty DGM running around town. It's okay because she got dirty on the track.
@husker741 - we should all do a meet up at some point. Very curious what yours sounds like now, and how she looks on the RCE yellows.

Anyone else notice FT86speedfactory was doing very well at One Lap? They were beating the 1M until today.

Yesterday was very productive. Dropped the car off and got the alarm installed. Picked that up, went home and grabbed my overpipe, catback, and catted front pipe. Installed all of that last night with some help from some friends. I LOVE the sound. It's the closest I could get to the "boxer rumble" without gettin UEL headers. The butt dyno feels a smoother torque dip and it seems a lot more rev happy. The most restrictive parts were the front pipe and the overpipe. It all went from I think 2.1997 inch piping(don't quote me on that), to 2.5. I'm now debating if I even want headers because I got the sound I want and I don't wanna drop $1k on a good set. We'll see. I'll get some pictures up later. The 4 inch tips really full out the exhaust cutouts in the diffuser and they look much better. I'm very happy with the exhaust and I can't wait to hook up to unichip to get the most I can out of the system.
