It was ordered from JPM. It's listed on their website now. It's the bonded one-piece with the option to not have a logo embroidered on. Reason I didn't get it embroidered is I will be putting my badge of ownership there. Currently waiting on a new one to come in.

Thanks! Haha yeah I learned from my past car because everyone would ask me where I get stuff all the time. I figured I'd just put it all up for easy access.

It'll be a little bit longer. I actually returned the wheel back to them. The center indicator that was put on got off-set from the center, most likely when it was being stitched together. With the wheel being hand-made, the tolerance there can be easily off. Unfortunately, I'm very OCD so they are actually just going to redo it for me without the indicator this time. Top will be red alcantara only now. Kinda bummed about not having the indicator, but I know if it's not perfectly centered it would drive me nuts over time haha

Thanks for sharing so much info about your outstanding car! How much did the STI springs affect your alignment?

I had it realigned a week after installation. Only slight adjustments needed to be made. The springs are designed for the stock suspension setup so it shouldn't make any significant impact to the alignment

Thanks

Great! I follow your style (more or less the same parts you get)....to transform my BRZ in STI BRZ! a question, please...STI front lip needs bumper removal to mount? Enclosed Manual is poor and only in Japanese, difficult to understand directions!

The push start kit is standard on the BRZ Limited. The STI button was a simple replacement. You'll need to buy additional hardware and wiring to get it to work on an FR-S. I believe there are some threads detailing the work involved to get it to work. I've also seen people just install the panel with the button without wiring it...

Thanks! The front lip doesn't require the bumper to be removed. You just need to put it on jackstands/lift to raise up the front end so you can drill. Easiest way is to mount the lip to the front using tape, and use a sharpie to mark the locations of where to drill. Hope this helps!

All the JPM pieces look amazing! Plus I am a huge fan of OEM + items, so the entire car is perfection in my eyes. Keep up the amazing work

Thanks,
Rick
