This is around the number I came to. My sister who is a major gear head and I were talking about this last nite, is it worth it. Is it worth putting 10k into a car and make it mine style wise and get minimal performance gains. I had a Boxster in 2010 and I would say it is the same driving experience "fun" wise. I am amazed the way I can throw the BRZ around and the way it reacts to my input. The power is a different story but I knew that there would be a big difference between 200 hp (est) and 300 hp. I'm torn, I want to love the BRZ but to do so would end up costing me what I can get into a more performance oriented car like a low miles Lotus, a newer Boxster or 08-10 Cayman. Only thing I think I decided to do was pay off the BRZ in 18-24 months while making some mild changes to the car for now and see how I feel about it when its paid off.

Their no brighter then the stock ones but you'll get the look you want with them.
Thanks for the link. I ordered Monday morning and the bulbs came in today. I went with the stage 2 bulbs after reading reviews of people who had said they wished they had went for the stage 2 instead of the stage 1. I think they look 1000x's better than stock!! Check them out!

Does Diode Dynamics sell the interior lights as well? They sent me a 10% discount code with my fog light order. I'm thinking of using it exactly for the interior lights.

I'm planing on getting the back-up lights and the vanity lights to complet the
interior.
