Talking Picked up my WRB BRZ yesterday!

Yesterday I picked up my new to me BRZ!
She's a 2013 WRB Limited, and I love it so far.
It's my first Subaru and first twin.

I've been lurking here for a while and I'm looking forward to being part of the community!

Like i always say, these cars are beautiful from the exterior stock. I would focus your money on performance mods instead if you plan to mod that is

Thanks guys!

I agree, these cars look wonderful as is. I've already received compliments from complete strangers.
As far as mods go, I'm thinking UEL header+flash to deal with the torque dip, other than that I might just leave it be. The suspension setup is fantastic stock imo, the car's willingness to rotate is unbelievable, and i don't really need it lower than it is. I might swap out the wheels for a set in gold/bronze to compliment the WRB, but I like the stock wheels more than those on any other car I've had. For all my previous cars, the stock wheels didn't last 6 months haha.

One thing that actually was a nice surprise to me is how nice the interior is! I come from BMWs and everyone there keeps complaining about how cheap the twins are on the inside. I completely disagree. The interior is functional rather than luxurious, but the materials used are top tier nonetheless!

Beautiful. You will enjoy it more and more as the miles accumulate. I would go slow on mods as well.
