3D Maxpider is non-slip. Weathertech, especially when wet, is pretty slick. At least, the ones in my wife's 4Runner were. That's what sold me. I'm not a fan of the huge 3D Maxpider logo though.

So i want to change the gearing on mine. 4.556 final is what i want for my auto correct? Also what brand is recommended?

Small blind spot convex mirror bought it together with Broadway Mirror a must have mod especially if your daily driving this car.

Brayden_23 · 05-25-2016, 05:44 PM

For those swearing by the convex mirrors, just figured I would drop this here for you:

Best mod is the 86Nanny - I call it the fun button. I love how it turns the car into a proper RWD car in seconds.

I love the importance this thread has towards protecting paint. I have been super slow with my mods so I haven't done enough to regret anything as of yet. My main goal though has been to not lose interest in the vehicle like I have with other vehicles in my past. This means upholding what makes a car so special in the first place to the average buyer, it's cleanliness and looks. I bought a Series.HyperBlue so more than anything what makes my car special is the paint color. Thus, protecting that was my first desire. I had the full front end up to my mirror caps clear bra'd at AutoTuned. It has allowed me to drive with complete piece of mind from oncoming debris that would otherwise cause chips. The downside of clear bra...the cost! Needless to say however, I am actually going to clear bra the rest of the car in its entirety as soon as AutoTuned has some open time in their otherwise busy garage. I definitely don't know if I can necessarily justify spending a paint job just protecting a paint job but I'd rather not worry about the headache later. As for Opticoat, I would maybe consider applying that wheels but nothing further. The only other mods I have done or have awaiting are an STi Front Lip and STi push start button. Both of which I love for the aesthetically pleasing value they add. I have an Intec CHMSL waiting to be put on once I tint the car. I am looking forward to that because I feel the OEM rear brake light eats up a lot of unnecessary space in my view of the rear.

ARTBRZ · 05-25-2016, 09:00 PM

I love and hate the carbon fiber lip that I installed. It looks really good but it has been getting more and more chip from taking long road trips.

corry29 · 05-25-2016, 11:42 PM

I love my TE37SL's.

I hate my TE37SL's because I had to get new tires for it. Then I had to get new suspensions for it to bring it to a height that matches the rims. Then I had to get control arms here and there to respectively camber it the way I want it.

Should of left it stock....

It's a downhill spiral when you mod :p

Yeah, and now after all that,

It seems like my wheels look too aggressive for the stock body.

So now, I'm researching on front lip

and of course with front lip, you need to have something in the back to match it

so rear spoiler too...

i_deecee · 05-26-2016, 12:41 AM

Love my Tanabe Concept G single exit since it sounds good and is reasonably quiet.
Also love my entire interior done by @JS + BRZ including headliner, dash, a/b/c pillars, center console and more!

Regret buying Eibach springs, should've just saved and bought coilovers when knowing that I'll be going coils later. Also went through quite a few stock struts...

89_Manny · 05-26-2016, 01:19 AM

It's a love/hate with my reps. I have 18x9.5 enza vatore hate them because heavy, cheap and REPS but love because it gives it a nice look. I got these before I knew how forums worked or that I could buy authentic wheels for just a few hundreds more..

Love:
• Sound tube delete
• mtec springs
• wheel spacers
• Perrin cat back

Hate:
• the fact that there are no CARB legal headers

sqd · 05-26-2016, 02:36 AM

The best mod is obviously the TRD start button, which I installed a couple of weeks ago..

No, but all joking aside, since I haven't installed my full exhaust including header yet, and flashed to E85, so far I really like the Valenti smoked taillights. They look SO much better than the stock ones, and I really think they flow with the car really well. That, and like @corry29, the TE37SL's.
