Slightly shorter throws, more positive feel and a bit less side-to-side slop.

Yeah I think too it's the same part ! Really a great upgrade, never loved how short shift feel. But we are far from an aftermarket one.

That's why I stick to OEM parts !

Had the chance today to make a good "spirited driving" and wow, not the same car.

The package with the TRD Brace and the TRD USA sway bar is perfect. Plus the Falken a quite sticky tires, pretty impressed. She deserved a good cleanup!

Love your build! Thank to you, I've bought Bayson rear lip too! Sadly, my bumper is zenki, so it wasn't an easy install like yours lol

Keep up your awesome build!

Oh thanks buddy Sorry I did make you spending haha, it's really a nice part for the price and the real TRD bumper skirt (kouki or zenki) is kinda too big to my taste.

I guess it wasn't an easy install lol I'm surprised you manage to fit it there!

Well I guess being stuck home made me spend a littttle bit more on the car.

I've spend on a Invidia un-catted front pipe and a OFT tune. Quite disappointed on the fitting of the Invidia front pipe... The bolt hole on the flange for the front pipe/midpipe connection is too big, so you can't use the factory springs bolt. They are there for a reason, the exhaust need to move a little bit with engine movement. And the op/fp gasket didn't fit too lol...

So I've found washers of the right size to prevent the sleeve of the bolt to goes inside the front pipe so the spring could work properly. Will take some pictures next time I raise the car on the lift.

For the OFT, I'm quite surprised I actually got gains ! I've used virtual dyno and a total gain of 8WHP is quite good. Torque is better in low RPM too, money well spend !

Oh and the sound of the TRD USA catback with the uncatted front pipe is perfect !

Def, I agree that TRD bumper skirt is bulky. Don’t know why they didn’t make just a lip.

Installation took 2 days. Not cuz it was complicated, but I was too lazy to go line up in Home Depot just to buy bolts, nuts & washers, so had to work on house project and buy everything at once. Total hr work on is prob 3hrs (mostly cutting the lip to fit).

The Bayson R rear lip doesn't fit a non 17+ 86 bumper? Asking because I'm about to fall victim to this post as well lol, it looks too good. I have a 17' brz though, which I assume has the same bumper as your zenki and to my eyes they look the same as the 86 one except the 86 has a little squiggle design in the middle.

Edit: just saw your write-up on your thread. Unfortunate that it requires modification to install.

How did you add the lights to the triangle in the 4th brake light? Did you use a kit to have the fog light functionality?

Ive wired them on the front fog light, I've choose the right side since the fused is labeled as "fog r" that way I'll remember it's rear and right lol. I've installed the factory fog stalk and the front fog kit since I didn't have from factory.

I've used a 168 bulb if I remember right, it's have the similar wattage than the oem bulb.
