- Changed the oil and installed Fumoto quick drain oil plug.
- Followed @NRGBalanced's lead and adjusted my clutch. Huge difference. If you haven't done this, do it.

Got my car detailed and had opticoat 2.0 applied. Also switched the dealer license plate holders to the OEM BRZ labeled license plate holders.

Installed the rear spoiler!
Busy week. Also installed Michelin Super Sports in stock size, mudguards, fender trim and fuel door emblem.
These genuine Subaru accessories aren't cheap. I thought the fuel door was a full replacement door when I ordered it, but it's just an overpriced decal!
That amp upgrade sounds interesting, especially since I have one laying around.

Would you say the Super Sports made a night & day improvement in steering feel and grip?

Not night and day. The stock tires actually surprise me with how much grip they have on the street. The Super sports are stickier and corner better without any squeal. They definitely make a difference, but I wouldn't say night and day.

Officially christened here as a Subaru this weekend...she got to haul a back-end full of bags of mulch bags from Lowes (a surprising amount, actually). After much vacuuming, I won't be doing that again until my Lloyds trunk mat arrives.

Can't believe you even did that! Hope you don't have to plant any shrubs or trees soon.

My wife did have a large hanging basket in her lap that wouldn't fit anywhere else, if that counts.

- Installed Accelerated Performance exhaust -- still need to get the placement/alignment tweaked. Sounds good though.
