Update:
I ordered a spare tow-hook bumper cover for the BRZ (Only came out to be $4.55 after HST!) last week and just got it in from Toronto yesterday. Had time today, so I went ahead and tried to ghetto-style drill it for the GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocator. It looks horrifying, I know... But I had no other tools to do it flawlessly. Anyways, had to be creative/crafty. First I used a drill (I only had 1 drill bit size...), drill the cover and pretty much just kept drilling around to make the hole bigger. After it was done, the edges were just horrific, so I used hot glue to stick a piece of craft-foam around the edges to hide as many of the imperfections as I can... The hole turned out a little too big... but oh well. I got the extra one that I ordered! Here are the pictures...*Warning* may cause your eyes to bleed a little. (You've been warned!) ................................................. ............................................ ..................................... .............................. ........................ ................... .............. ......... ..... .. EDIT: Ended up getting a new part from Subaru again and re-did it with the help from Narfy! Now it looks perfect!

If it's the same survey we have in the U.S. it's worth hundreds if not thousands for your sales rep and dealership. If you had a good experience with them, please take the time to do it! We make our living on good customer satisfaction ratings.

On top of the 2 bucks, you get a chance to win $10,000, $2,500 or $1,000.

Did my first oil change on the BRZ today at 22XX KM...
Used OEM Subaru Engine Oil, Filter, and drain plug crush washer... I see specks of engine metal shavings, but they don't look big enough to actually harm the engine.

Hm, been a while since I've updated this thread... Got a lot of things done that I did not post about, but I've updated the list on my 1st post.
Today just received my $200 button!... Lol What a PITA taking that Push Start Button/cubby out! The Canadian BRZ models have the USB/Aux ports in our glovebox compartment and the cavity area is completely one-pieced to the cubby itself so there is literally nothing to grab to pull it out! Was this whole process of taking the centre console out worth it? Yes. Would I do this again? Oh god, No.
