First Mods

I'm putting together a list of the first mod's I'm going to want to do to my BRZ Limited when it comes in, I'm open to any suggestions. Here's my short list.

GrimmSpeed Plate Holder
GrimmSpeed Hood Strut Kit
Homelink Rearview Mirror
Diode Dynamics LED Kit

I'm debating on a drop in air filter for now until I decide on a CAI. I'm saving my big bucks up front for a stereo system but I'm open to any other suggestions.

Forget all other mods. Ecutek should be first.

If it's a MT, I'd seriously suggest a hefty shift knob. I went with a stainless one from WC Lathewerks and shifting just feels so much better.

OEM JDM tips, unless you are going to replace the exhaust. Stock tips suck and have to go!
ebay. Search - BRZ JDM tips ($120 + ups)
Got mine in 4 days, from Japan! still not sure how they do that.

Yep, they take maybe 10 mins. to swap out. All you need is a 10mm hex socket to take old ones off and put new ones on. Just make sure you push them all the way on. Cant go to far, they have a stop. Then you will look just like it was made to look - like the GT86. Woot!
