I'm a fan of EDM. Electronic dance music really gets me pumped and going. Ok bad pun.

Those Speedline Corse wheels look aight but I wonder where in the world I can acquire Enkei SC33 wheels like on the PBMS BRZ:

It never ceases to amazes me that there seem to be edm fans.
You do know that the models we get are generally worse equipped than those on other markets?!
No easy way of upgrading, of course.

Gotta agree with Beyer up to a point.

I updated my old Honda w/ Cruise Control, those two buttons fit nicely to the wheel. That potruding lever thingie in the BRZ not so much. Gotta search for it every time I wanna set it. This is a distraction.
There was never any accidental button touching in my Honda (or any other car I lent-drove) so there shouldn't be for such controls in the BRZ if it had that option.

I like the stalk for the cruise control... Same location and basic operation as my E36 was. Although on the BMW, it was on the column like the other stalks, not on the wheel like the BRZ, so it didn't move. But you're almost never going to need to touch it without more than a couple of degrees of steering input, so no searching once you're used to the location vs. other vehicles. It's always in about the same place.

I wish there were basic audio controls on the wheel, especially since there are no dedicated buttons on the head unit. Plenty inboard of the rim of the wheel though. I do see sometimes buttons out near the rim, which is no good.

I was watching an episode of 5th gear the other night and Vicki mentioned that she loved the fact the new Boxster came without steering controls. I kinda agreed with her. I am lazy and would like more controls but I appreciate the fact that Subyota didn't include wheel controls more now.

Gonna bump this thread just to say that I wish I could get my hands on the rear seat privacy cover.

I wanted that sub, but I've already installed an 8" sub.

Which manufacturer did you go with? I'm debating between JL Audio or OEM Audio+. I'm not crazy about Kicker, especially for that price. Maybe for $350-$400 I'd give them a shot.

I went to a local audio shop. They sold "Digital Designs" equipment. I got the 8" sub and amp that goes with it. I'm very satisfied with it. I wasn't looking for something to disturb the neighbors. It's a solid, clean sounding bass that does the job without being annoying.

I paid $600 for Sub, Amp and installed. I'm sure that's a bit high, but I had the cash and was desperate to make the stereo system sounds decent.

As far as the floor mats, I just got my WeatherTech floor mats and they are amazing! Perfect timing too because I gave my buddy a ride to work the other day and he had the muddiest boots ever! He got out and was like, "Man, I'm so sorry...I forgot I had mud all over my boots." It looked pretty bad, but I just took the WeatherTech's inside, wiped it down, and it looked like new again! Great buy.

And about the Key Fob cover, this one works awesome and it matched the car interior stitching.

Alright guys. Sorry I slept on the thread. I've contacted Yuki over at Jparts to have the Privacy Cover populated on the website. I'll let you know when he gets back to me.
