Shoulda said something, I have a set that I never finished reconditioning with most of the paint still stripped.

how much would you be willing to sell them for orbital ellipses? i can't decide if i want to just do a brembo upgrade or buy like stoptechs. for my track car, brembos with good pads seems doable.

finished finally tweaking the read fog. swapped all bulbs with LED. debadged, painted rear emblem black/got rid of chrome on the car for the most part gotta bake headlights last.

well i was bored out of my mind today.

so i installed and hardwired my radar. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-inst...-into-brz.html

then i installed red out rear overlay. (still waiting on tails)





YAY FUN!!!





then i overlayed my front fogs and side reflectors, still waiting on the JDM reflectors so this is just temporary because i had nothing else to do. i'm partial on smoke over amber look but it looks so much better than all amber.







then i threw i a rope of LED's into the trunk because at night its too dim. now its really bright, yes i know red isn't for everyone but in person it looks great and matches the interior nicely.

that's pretty nifty. but how did you make it turn off and on, is there a switch?

are you talking about the trunk led strip? That is wired directly into the trunk bulb so it's on when it is on.

Loving the GBS and white wheel combo. Makes me want to paint mine when my GBS comes!

had my first oil change! azp installs always treating me good. also sending out for oil analysis at blackstone. can't recommend both of these placed enough. i plan on running motul just like i did on my sti.






alright so my mission to get rid of all chrome is almost complete, baked my headlights today. have yet to see someone do this to a brz. FRS guys have been doing this for a while already.



these are the major two pieces of the headlight.



i hit the blinkers with this:



that way they are black but still maintain the reflective ability like stock.



masked off so that the rest remains gloss black while all the chrome was painted with flat black enamel.



also installed my Hella horns today. finally no more quiet flimsy horns. these things will be heard



these are the led's split with the cover. as you can see all you need to paint is the cover. also anyone who wanted could now overlay the LED strip in any color they would like, might be kind of cool but i decided to keep it clear.



and presto!







i'll get some more shots later. this took me and my buddy ALL DAY. if anyone will do this, just take your time and be patient especially with paint drying. trust me you dont want to rush this.
