I would LOVE to go to the Perrin meet but I'm in Idaho and I can't quite afford a trip that far right now

I did check out a few vids and I'm leaning that direction for my exhaust one of these days it looks great and sounds good from what I could tell

I promise you will not be disapointed with it. You can find it brand new for around $600 shipped.

Wow your car must be dirty! There's some decent advice in this thread.

For me, I use all Griots Garage products, plus they're in WA! I use the Griots claybar, polish, then paint sealant, and it's good for a whole year.

Updating since I just moved to Vancouver a couple months back.

Hey guys,

I browse these forums all the time (sometimes for hours when I should be sleeping instead! :P), but rarely login.
Figured its about time I add myself to the list

1. Brandon
2. 2013/BRZ Limited/Dark Grey Metallic
3. Seattle (I live super close to the South Seattle Community College if you fellow Seattle dwellers know where that is)
4. March 3rd, 2013 - got it from Walker Renton Subaru, basically on an impulse buy, since I had been saving up money for a while for no reason in particular and had seen the car as a concept a year or 2 before and totally loved it. Basically went into the dealership, saw the car and knew I had to have it lol. The price was pretty jacked up by that time though, so I told them I was gonna wait, and left the dealership. I came back the next day though because I couldn't resist haha, and managed to get them to lower the price by about $1500.

Currently live in Seattle, WA. Though I am originally from Milwaukie, OR, so I visit PDX quite often.
I'm 23 years old and my BRZ is my first ever brand new car, and man do I love it! I used to drive a nissan pathfinder before the BRZ, so the switch was really crazy and exciting.

I don't have a ton of dough to play around with right now and I don't wanna do anything to void my warranty, so I'm just sticking to small interior/accessory mods at the moment.
Currently just have:
-Side markers replaced with OEM clear ones and replaced the bulbs with amber LEDs
-All interior lights replaced with LEDS
-License plate super white LEDs
-Red LED strip in the trunk
-OEM red footwell lighting kit
-Perrin shorty antenna
-Zeta products armrest
-Heated seats "limited" engraved aluminum brushed plaque
-JDM Stitched OEM simulated leather knee pads
-Removed the "SUBARU" lettering from rear
-Subaru stainless steel valve stem caps
-BRZ black stainless license plate frame

Hello. My name is Bernie. Live in the outskirts of Tacoma. Picked up my 2014 BRZ last Thursday (March 20). Tinted windows last Friday and still rocking dealer temp tags. Definitely a fun car to drive. Can't wait to fully break it in. Just ~500 miles to go as of Monday morning.

Did you buy this from Barry? If so I think I was the one who detailed your car for delivery

Figured I'd introduce myself to the locals.

I'm Ted, I traded in my modded '07 Mustang GT for a WRB BRZ Limited on Monday. I'd been eyeing a replacement for the Mustang for a while - wanting something smaller and more driver involving. One day I was out with a friend looking at cars for him (M3's) and on a whim we decided to swing by Chaplain's Subaru to check out the BRZ. One thing led to another and I found myself rocketing up and down E Mercer Way with the absolute widest grin on my face of all time. For months that test drive stuck with me.

Eventually, I went to Carter Subaru in Shoreline with the girlfriend - I wanted her to have a chance to drive an automatic to see how she fit and if she would be comfortable. We worked with a new (to Subaru) salesman Jacob Stewart who let us test drive two cars that day (an auto and a stick). At that point I resolved to get the 'Stang ready to sell - it had been finding every excuse to frustrate me. The last straw came after I paid for a touch up and detail and found a nice new scratch on the rear bumper after parking on the street in Fremont for 20 minutes.

After that, I just didn't want to be around that car anymore. I drove it to the dealership in Shoreline, got the cheaper advertised price from the Ballard dealership, got more than I was expecting on trade in, and drove off the lot with Bernie. 160 miles into break in so far and I haven't stopped smiling. This car is EXACTLY what I wanted and I can't describe how excited I am to drive it every day.

If any of you guys are ever up in the Pinehurst or Northgate area and you see a WRB running around, give a wave! Glad to be part of this community, hope to see you all at an Autocross this summer.

Cheers
