Another WRB. Nice!

My first mod is to get the clear side markers. After that, Intake. Then Exhaust. I opted in for extended warranty. So I want to make sure there wont be a conflict between the dealers and my mods. Any info on this??? I was thinking Injen intake and SRT header back exhaust. Are those going to become warranty problems?
You just need to find a dealership that's mod friendly. While mods don't technically affect your warranty, it is easy for dealers that don't care to immediately point the finger at it so they can be lazy and not actually perform a diagnosis/warranty repair. Both my BRZ and my previous car were heavily modded and not once have I been hassled about them when I took it in for warranty issues regarding mechanical components

Have you had to say anything or do they just take it as is?

You can't park far enough away in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Got my JDM clear side markers installed today. I used this great guide http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15560

It did not go as smoothly as the Youtube videos show. It took a little more force then Id like to apply to my brand new car. However, it worked out in the end. They look awesome and it is a great first mod.

Another great weekend with the BRZ! Hit 1000 miles and finally took it over 4k rpm. Loved it. Feels great. I am going to do my first oil change next weekend.

Got the Proclip mount today. Super easy install and didn't have to use the sticky pads. http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-veh...812-19052.aspx
A little pricy because you have to buy the mount and your phone holder but only the best for my BRZ. Holds the phone nice and tight and does not block the drivers view of the radio. The only negative I would say would be that when the phone is up there the passenger can't really see the radio screen.

His s4 couldn't hang? That's odd.
