Finished up the headlight painting, and installed smoked side markers while I was at it. Looks much better, IMO.

Removed steering wheel trim and wrapped in matte black vinyl. Went in with 0 experience with vinyl, so it was pretty difficult but I just took my time and it came out great!

Swapped all interior silver plastic with black OEM parts.

Never posted about it but also got my Kenwood DDX917WS head unit install finalized before Christmas. Interior is complete for now!

How difficult was it to replace the door handle thing?

Not sure if you mean the actual door handle/lock or the door pull but this is a handy video that shows how to remove both:

Overall very easy!

You, sir, look like you could use these:

Maybe these too, though I cant see that part:

The black interior pieces look nice though, maybe I'll do that when I stop being too lazy to pull apart the doors.

buy POR15 caliper paint. I did mine black. You can paint them on the car. I used a foam brush and they came out amazing. I did black because it is cleaner looking than rust, and I think red is too "look at me".

Valentis and BaysonR kit installed this weekend

Brink · 01-22-2018, 01:58 PM

Went outside and looked at my BRZ in the driveway, but it was raining so I couldn't do any of the work I wanted to do. Maybe I can get something done tomorrow morning.

xenarc · 01-22-2018, 10:43 PM

I installed the Ebay replica STI lip. Fits good and the screws hold it quite well to the bumper.

I also installed the Red on Red sequential Valentis.

Brink · 01-23-2018, 11:38 AM

Installed my Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace. Pretty easy to install, I feel like having the Grimmspeed hood struts on there already made it much easier to work in the engine bay, like the hood wasn't even there.

that looks great, does the kit match in terms of glossyness? or is the front lip more matte and the sides are more glossy?
