My SWP BRZ: light tuned- stay tuned!

[Badaab]

My parts order from RallySportDirect arrived today. Got them at work, since my UPS driver has my store and house on his route- that was difficult, as I was able to stare at the box all day and not do anything with it.
Installed the Perrin antenna on my lunch break, and will have a go at the clear corners tomorrow morning... the hood struts I'm going to possibly install tomorrow as well, we'll see how much work I can get done on the corners before work. License plate relocation kit will wait until I get my actual plates on the car.

On another note,
I'm looking at wheels- any recommendations from ya'll? Right now I've got these on my list:
-Work Emotion CR Ultimate (matte black)
-Enkei Racing RPF1
-XXR 530
-Axis Sport Excite (black w/ red)

I'm looking at 18x8 up front, and possibly wider in the back (18x10?)

Corner lenses installed! You've all seen these before, so I won't bore you with pics.

Brief update today:
Installed GrimmSpeed hood struts with my uncle's help.
Changed out orange turn lens bulbs for clears. So now the car is all clear lights up front.

Also, ordered some more stuff from Rallysport Direct:
- Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar Type ALC OS w/ Master Cylinder Brace
- K&N High Flow Air Filter
and what I'm most excited for...
- TOM'S LED Tail Light Set

Took the car out for a drive yesterday up Boulder Canyon with my uncle. We ran into a flash mob of Smart Cars... here's a shot from the deck of the lot with all the cars (not a great pic, but I only had my phone and wanted to get as many in as possible).

The BRZ is out of frame to the left.

Been trying to upload these pics forever... hopefully this works.



Here's the car as she sits right now. Clear corners are slightly visible in the second pic, but mostly just showing off the GrimmSpeed struts for the hood. Also removed the stock hood prop yesterday.

If Rick and crew at Rallysport Direct get my order in the mail today, I should have a new K&N filter and strut tower brace from Cusco to install on Monday or Tuesday. I'll likely save the TOM's tails for Thursday install.

Toms tail lamps, k&n filter, and cusco front strut tower brace arrived yesterday. K&n filter installed at lunch!
Up tomorrow will be the install of the other parts!

[Badaab]

Got a jump on the install tonight. Installed the front strut tower bar w/ master cyl. brace this evening... then ran out of sunlight to get pics done!

[Badaab]

Update:
Some overexposed mobile pics this morning of the Cusco strut tower bar and the TOM's tail lamps after install:

Might just go ahead and close this thread down, since I'm talking at myself. Perhaps I'll post more pics down the road, but there doesn't seem to be much interest or feedback.

Update on first post with cat back install pics.

[Badaab]

Hit 1k on the odometer this week. Drove a bit more than I normally would simply to get the break in out of the way.
Ordered more parts today: Perrin polyurethane exhaust hangers (for the Invidia Q300), Perrin intake inlet hose (in black), Perrin transmission mount support, Cusco transmission mount collar, and Beatrush rear differential mount support. Again, through the guys at RallySportDirect. Hopefully I'll have the parts Monday and can run through some of the install on Wednesday/Thursday next week.

[Badaab]

Update!
Registered the car (finally), installed the Grimmspeed front plate relocation kit, Perrin intake inlet tube, and Perrin polyurethane exhaust hangers for the Invidia Q300.

Pic of the inlet tube on.
I didn't include pics of the Perrin plate relocator (you've all seen these before)- but one note on the install- after drilling through the cover cap plastic, you may want to do some clean up on the plastic. I used an X-Acto knife and needle file for this, just to make the drilled hole a little cleaner.
Tomorrow I may do the install of the other parts I ordered (see previous post).
Also ordered some engine dress up parts in the Cusco high pressure radiator cap, the Grimmspeed 86 engine oil cap, and the Beatrush tow hook. Yeah, they're all silly and pointless- but I wanted a little more in the flash department as I decide on wheels.

The new wheels showed up while I was in Vegas this past week... took delivery on them yesterday. Still waiting on a quote for power coating!
Axis Sport Xfactor- 18x8.5 for the front and 18x9.5 for the rear
