Thanks. I'm anxious to find some wheels but haven't found anything I'm 100% happy with yet. I'm a bit picky. Definitely want to drop it a bit though.

The spoiler was on sale, on Amazon, for about $150, unpainted (normal price is $200). I was going to paint it myself but ended up taking it to a local shop to get it painted, another $100-$150. In hindsight, I was expecting to save a bit and paint it myself and probably could've picked up a painted spoiler for about the same cost. Paint job came out very good though, so I'm quite happy with it.

I installed it myself. Real easy, perfect fit. Came with double-sided 3M tape.

Cool! I'm definitely looking to get one, although I won't be doing a paint match for mine. Just going to get it dipped black and call it a day.

Had springs installed yesterday. I went with Eibach Pro Kit springs. The drop looks nice and the ride isn't too bad.

Finally got around to getting some wheels and rubber. Went with Niche NR6's @ 18x8 +40 offset. Tires are Michellin PSS 225/40/18. I think I made a good choice.

Unfortunately nothing new. Thinking about side skirts/lip kit perhaps? New picture, taken today:

Picked up an OFT and I have to say, it's fantastic. The FT86 Speed Factory header did an amazing job of getting rid of the torque dip so I didn't think the OFT would produce a significant difference to warrant the cost. I jumped on it anyway and I'm very happy with the results.

The best way I can describe it is that it feels like the jump from the OEM header to FT86SF header. That jump made me feel like I was driving a different car. Adding the OFT on top of that made me feel like I was, again, driving a different car. In a good way of course.

Next step is to put her on the dyno and see what the power curve looks like. I'm not really interested in peak HP/Torque as I'm not getting crazy gains with what I have. I just want to validate what the butt dyno has been feeling.

Put her on the dyno this past weekend (86 day!).

Looking at ~15hp gain over stock AT BRZ. Dyno sheet and numbers posted on first page.

Installed replacement leather upholstery from LeatherSeats.com last week (front and rear seats). Really happy with them.
