Cool, I was (still am to some extent) a lighting designer for years. I've got stacks of gels laying around. The heated seat buttons are the only ones I've found so far that aren't LED and require gels. But I like the idea of all white LEDs and picking your colors for each piece.

Nice, I re-created mine in NFS. Pretty crazy how close you can get.

Luftwaffel · 03-26-2016, 08:31 PM

NFS actually has my 57DR wheels, I was impressed.

Nice contrast with my yellow house, lol.

Nice! They've got BRZ, FRS and GT86 to choose from.

Hello my fellow HyperBlue Owners! If you don't mind, I want to start a discussion on the stock head unit that comes with the delivery of our vehicles. HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU ALL DEAL WITH IT. It not only is very visually unappealing, but it isn't incredibly intuitive, the apps are limited, it doesn't mirror the apps on your phone, but most importantly, I have never met such a slow interfacing head unit in my life. Anyways, I know it just sounds like a rant but please feel free to give me your thoughts on maybe ways you've learned to work with it to get better results, etc. And yes, while you can tell me to go aftermarket I don't really want to do such a thing. Mainly because I desire an OEM fitment but also because of the rewiring of backup cameras, mics, etc. Also, I don't see a Series.Blue owner that will be willing to swap over head units and dash pieces anytime soon.

Haha I know what you mean. it seems like something pulled out of a 2012 Corolla. I know it's easy for me to say that in a car like this, it doesn't need a lot of infotainment. Actually for me, I don't even listen to the radio when I drive unless I'm on the Highway in 6th gear. Otherwise I'm just enjoying the sound of the car.

Then again, when I test drove a GTI it had Apple CarPlay so I really think that a more intuitive head unit would've been nice to have but still not necessary.

I still utilize the Bluetooth phone connectivity, but honestly I almost never touch or even look at the head unit. It's almost like there's nothing there to me

nova.86 · 03-28-2016, 02:21 AM

Yeah I don't really use the headunit besides connecting my phone to bluetooth for spotify. An aftermarket one in the future would be nice though for track use and torque app. That's later for me though so I'm satisfied minimally with the headunit I suppose. I do hate that it only shows the first song you play and doesn't update. Biggest pet peeve for me.

Wow! Well good to know. That's just so interesting to me. Don't get me wrong I love the noise being pumped into the cabin just as much as the next man/woman, but I just LOVE music. It drives me just as much as the car does. I mean as of now outside of my first mod being a responsible one (detail and clear bra), the next will be OEM Audio+. With that said, that is what makes the head unit such a problem, because at the end of the day the head unit is a direct conduit or extension of my music with how it is being played and how I interact with it.

Good choice of beer.

Washed, waxed and side skirt added!

KrisisOD · 03-28-2016, 10:38 AM

That side skirt looks nice.

I ordered JDL uel headers today with a oft. I wasn't going to buy more car parts yet, but they ambushed me, so what can you do...
