WTB: Stock wheels, all years, all trims. I just can't get enough original equipment wheels.

Tires too

In order to tell how much power my turbo added would it be better to put my car on a T-Rex or a stegosaurus?

Make sure it is done under the worst possible conditions though. Preferably a really hot humid day with 87 fuel. That way when you show an increase it looks way more impressive.

Or buying it for your hard parking car meets and street races. Gotta keep that street cred up for Instagram you know.

Of course you could avoid the whole thing by getting a 2nd Gen since it is a poor mans Porsche after all.

How long would it take to install some paddle shifters on my BRZ as my car never came with them?

I just bought some red ones at 425$ that were on sale and is another step to get some more red goodness inside.



What am I missing to get them installed?

I also got a TRD oil filter as I was looking for a red one.
Ill be giving my Subaru blue one to my brother who has a WRB and only been used for 2K km or so.

Great idea, I may improvise as I have some RED reflective tape left from doing my bumper wrap.

Would zip ties be considered more high tech & keeping things bling as I find the tape gets goopy in the heat.

zip ties are next level, but too complicated for me, Man.

Finally decided to return them as the red is not quite matching the rest of the Pure Red color
and seems to be defective with what looks to be square mesh imbedded in the plastics.
