[BRZtoni]

nice hanging out with you today bro ! nice car

[SPCorBUST]

Thanks for your help!

I took a picture today after it was washed and waxed yesterday, I think it turned out great!



Here are some pictures of @BRZtoni and I post-install, both forced induction, one turbo one supercharged, both painted STI lip kits!









While I like the rims, they don't seem big enough. STI rims are gonna go soon!

Dig this. Why did you sell the c38 setup and move down to a c30?

[spicyricecake]

are you lowered with spacers on the STI wheels? Really digging the toms + valenti rear brake light combo.

The first time I saw the STI lip kit painted I thought it was shit. However it was on blue. This looks well done, good job on the build

18" STI wheels then? IMO they look way better than the 17"

Something about the way your car is makes the BRZ bumper just look gooorgeous.

I had a level of anxiety about the kit and the implications for my motor and overall reliability due to the systems design.

I also wasn't willing to build the motor to take full advantage of the kit having to deal with its unreliability.

I still wanted boost, but I didn't want a turbo.

I didn't like any of the other kits - I wanted something with high power that was also reliable and that didn't change the character of the car too much.

I also needed CARB exemption paperwork.

Thanks for the compliment!

No, I'm not using any spacers. It tends to tuck with how low it is, needless to say I've had to alter my driving habits. I always figured this was an in-between or backup wheel for me.

The Tom's + Valenti combo gets a lot of compliments, if you like that style of lighting its a winner IMO.

Thanks! The shop I took it to did a great job. I've taken several pieces there, and the quality is always good.

I was thinking about trying the silver STI rims. Either those, or Enkei NT03+M in SBC or the Advan GT's.

I can't seem to decide - while I love the STI rims in black, I'd go silver just to be different. I like the NT03's in SBC as well, but the Advan GT's are the only rim I've ever felt I needed in my life.

Ha, I'll keep you in mind if I ever ditch them. More than likely they'll just sit in my garage forever.

Checked your build, very classy and great work!

That makes sense given your choice to paint your STI parts haha. I feel you on the Advans too! Personally I can't get over the AJ Racing BRZ for this reason I'd say your build is on par with theirs tho!
