STI shift knob according to my build thread. Although I guess you could say the STI body kit as it came with it from the dealership

Same here! 2013 FRS Financed for 10k @ 95k miles. Got mine in March 2020, came with the upgraded Bespoke unit and a carbon fiber Amerihood with vents, and a sick exhaust with quad tips(maybe straight piped??)

EDIT:
My first mod to the ride would have to have been my... reverse camera installation. Picked it up on Ebay for $12.99 - works fantastically for the price!

The shifter knob was second lol I found it in a box one day while working at a warehouse about 8-10 years ago. Big ol ugly green skull, but i never had a place for it. (AT Chevy Cobalt for 12 years haha)
Spray painted it Red/Orange to match the car. I suck at painting but it worked out I guess. Here's a pic:

https://ibb.co/PYVxG3W

Mods since purchased (in order):
- reverse camera - $14
- shift knob - freeeeee
- 2x 10" BOSS 1500w (lol) subs - $50 (who needs a trunk!?)
- 600W 2ch Jensen bluetooth amp - $60
- factory spoiler paint matched [H8R] - $88
- shark fin antenna - $55
- tail lights - $193
- license plate LEDs - $2
- interior trim (neon orange lighting) - $5
- custom license plate DDEVL* for the next 5 years - $375
- Valenti 3rd Brake - $165
- new door lock actuators ($100 warrantied whew! /otherwise ~$700 )


Mods Im looking at still doing [any tips?]:
- VLand headlights - $409
- D2H kit for headlights [possibly D2S?] - $$$
- smoked sequential LED side markers - $34
- Intec turn signal fender inserts - $145
- Perrin intake tube (is it even worth it?) - $130

There's always so much more to this car that can be done... it's kinda insane to have such fun!! Hahah

As my first post to this forum, I'm happy to share the journey! Thanks for the question!

I think I'll add a flavored post with pics over at the Car Journey/Builds section. Expect to see this content over there as well since it'll be relative lol

I only have one cosmetic mod. Re-badged to Toyota.

Then, when my neighbor backed into my car, the body shop re-sprayed the nose. They ordered a new badge using the VIN. So now it is Scion on the front, Toyota on the rear. Bugs the shit out of me. I bought a new front Toyota badge, haven't got around to changing it.

Some horrid yellow fog lights on my 88 Beretta GT. What a horrible car that was...

But the first thing I did on my 86 was ditch the front plate and throw on some clear sidemarkers.

"Frameless" rearview mirror because they do not come standard in EU BRZs although they're stock on EU GT86s

Not sure "frameless" are such an "upgrade" to hunt for, given how they delaminate for many after longer period of time ..

I wouldn't call it an upgrade but I really liked the look of it in the first 86 I've had a chance to test drive so I got myself one for my car. They're quite inexpensive through dealership over here.
