WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 271 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bought some gloss, uv resistant clear coat spray from Home Depot and tomorrow I am buying some VHR Night Shades from Advance Auto Parts. I plan on smoking the DRL's and if that turns out, I will black out the tails to tide me over until I purchase the black & orange Valenti tails.

Installed Cusco Sports Accel pedal. Install took about 10min to eyeball the parts, look at the pictures in the instructions (since they're in Japanese), borrow a 7mm wrench and 2.5mm allen key from a technician, and get it snugged up.

No more awkward foot placement for heel-toe maneuvers! Not sure why the pedal is chrome, though. Kinda doesn't match the other pedals *shrug*

Also installed Cusco drift knob. Simple install but I was clumsy with the vice grips taking the old button off and damaged the leather on the brake handle a little. Grrrrr!

Sort of.... I had to go to the site and use my credit card to do the download. Once I completed the download, I sent a copy of the electronic receipt to Subaru HQ, and I got a check back in the mail in just a few days for the cost of the maps including the sales tax! (I had prearranged this with them following my complaint about the old maps).

If you go to the Subaru HQ home page, you can fill out the "Contact Us" form and make your case. This is a generic form, so you have to tell them exactly who you are and what you are asking them to do.

My case was really simple... I just bought a new BRZ from you in Q3 of 2013, and I would have expected to get the latest maps, not ones from 2011. They said they would do the upgrade for me as a one time good will gesture.

Someone should contact you after you fill out and submit the form.

I tinted (quite more than I originally intended) my DRLs today. Overall I like the results, but glad I did these before attempting the tails. Here is a link to my DIY: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1231420#post1231420. @Boosted: I got one of those mods we talked about complete!

Rear plate is on. Was hoping to get my plate frame before I had to put it on but, no luck

Not bad.

Congrats.
