After being away for a month got my chance to take it out for a drive and hand wash. It's good to be back home.

One of my favorite mods I did to this car. My brz had the clutch throw of a tractor when i first bought it. Now its crisp and short.

Would definitely recommend !

I'm curious to see how you like that. Does the pedal clear the upper stud? Or did you have to cut it?

Took me about 20 minutes. Most of it was spent trying to find a way to get into the footwell the the right angle to do the work.

@GotBRZ1691. How much does all that matting weight?

Unrelated. I know I've asked this before but I can't find the post. But what did any of you use to attach you're sti style front lip to the bumper? I'm going with double sided tape plus some sort of rivet that I haven't decided on yet.

That's funny. We just got back from vacation in Montreal/Qubec and I couldn't wait to get back in the driver's seat, and home too. We were only gone 1 week.

the products i have used thus far come in rolls that are 6" x 25' and weigh only 5lbs a roll. Used two in the back, will use two in the front, so 20lbs total. At least the added weight is down real low.

Drilled holes and used the supplied screws all around the entire front perimeter. I didn't use any tape.

What Did the BRZ do TO ME today!

I had a nightmare!!!

I traded in the BRZ for an FR-S. I turned around to say good bye to brz and the dealer already put stickers and glue'd on an wing(wrong way). I then saw an indian guy who wants to buy it in the driver seat with the dealer inside!

omg im scared
