I love the red shaded stock lights, however the Toms LEDs just win my heart over. Also, I want to be able to return my car back to fully stock if I ever sell it. And unfortunately VHT Nightshade isn't removable 😔

Flipping the sun visor over and using the vanity mirror light for illumination. The regular overhead light is too bright for me in certain circumstances. Not a LED fan...

I had my stock tails wrapped in a transparent glossy red and though it did improve them, I still don't fully like them. But those Tom's....

Now you know how FR-S drivers feel about all them Subaru stamps everywhere.

Haha kidding. I don't mind the Subaru stamps. Embrace our bastard love child car.

Never saw one being held. Either you have a small hand or that compressor s bigger than I thought they were.

I have grown to like nothing on my car. What I liked when I bought it, I still like, what I didn't like, I still don't. I stared into this car's soul and so far it's been exactly what I thought it was and I am delighted.

Quit trying to out think the engineers and just drive the car.

Lowering the seat as far as it would go helped me.

They really nailed the ergonomic relationship between the controls as long as you dial in your position correctly.

Arms fully extended not a very good idea especially if at twelve o'clock as it doesn't help if correcting steering input. Ideally should have a slight bend in arms when hands are at ten to two position. Check out rally in car footage.

That is true, however, if the wrists are over or on top of the wheel with arms straight out you will get that slight bend when you grasp the wheel.
