359's DGM BRZ

Two weeks ago my BRZ turned a year old, and thanks to a nice tax refund and some spring sales, I've been getting some parts I've been wanting for some time. I figured I should finally get around to starting my own thread. The list may be short at first, but I'm building this one up slowly but surely.

First up, the car:
* Dark Gray Metallic
* 2013 BRZ Limited
* 6 A/T
* Includes optional Subaru rear diffuser
* Daily driven, 12000 miles in its first year

Had it stock for about a month before I started with the mods.

Exterior
* JDM Subaru exhaust tips
* JDM Subaru clear side marker
* STI rear wing Gurney flap
* Perrin 4" Shorty antenna
* TOM'S USDM taillights, red
* Raceseng Tugview tow hook/GoPro mount, bronze
* Audio-Technica lavalier microphone
* Lamin-X fog light film, yellow
* Debadged

Interior
* STI start button, red
* Custom 86 logo startup screen, black

Suspension
* GrimmSpeed strut bar, black

Engine
* Raceseng oil dome, bronze
* Raceseng oil cap, bronze
* Perrin master cylinder brace
* GrimmSpeed pulley cover, black
* K&N air filter

Wheels and Tires
* TSW Nurburgrings, 17x8 +45 with 235/45 Continental ExtremeContact DWs, matte bronze (summer setup)
* Stock wheels with 215/45 Bridgestone Blizzak LM32s (winter setup)

And as for the future, I'm planning on finishing off the wheels with some fatter summer tires, doing a few minor engine tweaks, then probably attacking the suspension. I'm a bit limited by having this as my daily, and only, car, and by having to weather Pennsylvania winters every year, but I still have some plans. Some track days or autocrossing is definitely in the future.

Planned
* Raceseng lightweight pulley, black
* Some sort of catback exhaust, preferably 2.5"

And here are some photos of the process so far. Still need some new shots of the whole package as it is now, once I get a chance to clean her off.

How she was when I arrived at the dealer to pick her up.


Unmodified.

JDM exhaust tips


STI Gurney flap


TSW Nurburgrings in matte bronze fitted with the stock tires.

And since I have the GoPro, here's a section for video as well.

This was shortly after I got the GoPro, it was only a test to see how well it recorded, so it's just a quick look of a block. The external mic was not wired up yet, so it's purely the GoPro mic.
