Luckily it was a nice warm day out, so letting them sit out in the sun to heat up befor einstall made it a cinch. Really pleased with how they look and the quality. I'll take some better pictures after they've had some time with people sititng in them to help them fit a bit better, though they are pretty snug already.

Hey man, how do you like those Clazzio Covers? I am seriously considering a pair myself, but I was concerned with the fitment of the back portion. From the pictures, it looks like there would be an air gap between the cover and the actual seat and would be uncomfortable. How has your expereince been with this part? Thanks in advance!

At first they were a bit "puffy" as you stated, but after some time with me sitting in them, they have settled in nicely. Ill post updated pictures when I can find the time to take some.

Interested to see the DIY for the LED's. I've seen another one and think I know how they did it by drilling the handle cap for the LED etc but more the better. I was going to do something similar

Time for a weekend update. Well half the stuff i've done was over the last two weeks but didn't have time to take pictures until now.

Part of promoting the new Hayashi Street wheels means running the company livery:

Also installed front and rear LED turn signals and side markers (and the relay so they don't seizure blink) courtesy of VLEDs:

They are HUGE but very bright:

JDM Airbag cover came in as well, along with the frameless mirror:

So another we did last week, which I think deserved its own post was the installation of the Beat-Sonic "Chameleon" Rear view camera:

The name comes from the fast that they are painted to match the colors of Japanese license plates (White, Yellow, or Green) and sorty of blend in. Forever on cars like mine with a Plate frame it sorta sticks out like a sore thumb. We have it wired up to the factory bespoke headunit:

It has the usual fisheye that you see on cameras like these, but the area of view is quite good considering how low it mounts. Best part is I didn't have to drill any holes!

There's alot going on with the car in this one photo (courtesy of Moto):

New stuff in the photo:
Vleds Turn Signals (all Amber) w/ Relay
FET Catz LED Fog lights (Using the Japanese bezels)
Cusco Ignition Capacitor
Grimmspeed Hood Dampers

About the Fogs:

We used the BRZ Stalk for the fog lights and two relays integrated into the wiring. Doing it this way, the fogs will now turn off when the headlights are off, as wiring them direct to the stalk would mean they could stay on at all times. They are 6000K LED.

What exactly does the Ignition Capacitor do?

Its works similarly to a power conditioner, regulating the voltage going to the coils. It's supposed to have a variety of benefits, but as far os what i have experienced personally, I have noticed that the exhaust has gotten deeper sounding, and a slight increase in MPG. After i've used it for a longer period of time I can make a better determination as to what has changed.
