Had a canyon run over the weekend. I think I felt the difference with the strut bar with BMC brace and door stabilizers.
Also never had a run with such a large group before. Lots of fun!

Just took my newly delivered BRZ directly to Horizon Detailing in Allentown PA for Opti-Coat Pro Plus ceramic paint protection. Picked it up last night. The car looks fantastic. Owner/operator Robert did a great job. He also applied protective coatings to the windshield, lower portion of each door panel, and door thresholds.

Dealer installed OEM FR-S splash guards
Installed Diode Dynamics LEDs: Back up, license plate, trunk, vanity, & dome
Installed center console heat switch trim piece #6 (Amazon)
Swapped out OEM mats with MAXpider Kagu front floor mats
Plugged interior firewall sound generator hole
Activated free Sirius 4 month trial period

Only one quality control issue. Taking BRZ to dealership tomorrow to check noisy tires. Not sure if they are out of round or out of balance.

Congrats, enjoy. It's rare to see another enthusiast owner around this area.

These tires are the nosiest you will ever experience. Coupled with the lack of soundproofing they always sound like there is something wrong. Don't be surprised if they say it is normal. It probably is.
Wait until you here snows an that thing!

@DocWalt. oh there you are. I didn't know you were in PA. I assume that given our network of friends you know who I am referring to.

Service Manager test drove the BRZ this afternoon. He noticed the noise too. He thinks it may be a possible bad wheel bearing on left front. He ordered the part and will have it installed next week. We'll see and report in...

A friend let me drive his new 2014 BRZ a while back and I do not recall any issue with excessively noisy tires. The '14 & '16 tires are identical OE.
