-ARK DTS RACING SPEC Downtude back complete Exhaust
-STI Start Button
-JDM Clear Side Markers
-STI Shifter mount
-Tap turn Signal module
-Alcantara Shift boot Red stiching
-Alcantara Red Stitching upper dash Piece from Coachworks
-Complete 3M wrap front
-Complete LED interior lights
-Lower Triangle Brake light
-I added moddiction one pound anvil shift knob from my S2000


My old WRB Gold


New WRB with Gold



This car is wow in fun and I've had some fast fun rides.
I have a 2008 Lexus IS350 loaded to the t!ts and pulls 13.0 @ 104mph sec 1/4 mile I consider the BRZ hands down the funnnnner ride.
The only prior ride that I've owned that I would consider on par for the fun factor was my past 2001 Honda S2000 with a bunch of basic mods.

So glad I picked up this ride instead of a new overpriced STI. I think my future ride will be a next Gen BRZ.

Lol no I don't think it would be that easy. My car has the Sport Tech package to begin with. Prior owner just switched out for STI version.

Anyone have experience with warranty replaced parts, and if they are warrantied for another year or so? I don't know how long I have left of the bumper to bumper / 3 Year warranty in case this happens again. @BRZZZZZZZZZZ different brand, but do you guys generally provide a guarantee for your warranty repairs?

On a further note, I'm getting new side windows as well. Scratched windows from the track/guide/weatherstripping. Anyone else have this done yet? You can reference TSB "S-TCI-4152 - Outside Door Weatherstrip - Multiple Concerns". (Not sure if that TSB # is supposed to be public info, but I found it online so...)

My side window did the same thing, and next oil change I'm getting the dealer to replace the window as they have already replaced the track/guide part.
I have also had the taillight issue looked at multiple times. Warranty each time and it seems to have been solved now. Problem is with the design, water is channeled from the back window/trunk area, overtop of the taillights and out/down over the bumper. If the seal is not sufficient, water will/can get into the taillight housing....OR you will also get condensate buildup.
