Orbital is better at this thread than Lanez!

Now why do I see your signature when I have signatures hidden...?

Alright then. The offer stands. I was one click away from having it sent. I just wanted confirm that you would want the TRD over the STi version.

If you ever want it, understand that it will be in your mailbox as soon as I have an address. This is one of those mods that will pay you back with smiles for miles and miles. It's a drop in the bucket for me to take care of someone who is just as car crazy as I am.

@switchlanez

Why does it look like your drivers seat is 100% leather ? The part where the alcantara is looks very shiny.

Probably one of the classiest gestures I've seen over the internet in a long time. You don't only have one of my fav cars here, but you're now one of my fav members here as well. Good stuff man!

Yep @Beyer Subaru is a class act, that guy, with a classy BRZ to match.

They're just seat pads/covers from Walmart so I don't have to clean the dust magnet Alcantara as often. They're like pillowtops that add the right amount of support without sacrificing the "hug" of the seat bolsters. Whenever I remove them, the bare seats feel cheaper to sit in, oddly. Guess I've gotten too used to them.

Yessir, and if you scroll to the bottom of this thread, you will see me discussing its aesthetics compared to the STI exhaust and the material quality.

I'm heavily drawn to that extra .7" you get from the STI exhaust. Japanparts keeps dropping the price on it, too...

Dude, if you get it, please come back and tell us how it is. The few videos online just do not provide a good enough idea of what it sounds like. There are two videos of it free-revving under no load, but they do not include in-cabin footage nor drive-bys at varying speeds. There is one in-cabin vid on YouTube but again it does not do that great a job at portraying the sound... Maybe it is just really quiet, as mentioned by a lot of the owners from Minakara.

Price on japanparts is dropping due to yen-to-dollar rate changes. Gogo decreasing value of the yen!!
