Nooob!

[kylethomas23]

Hello all!
I'm relatively new to the ft86 club and recently purchased a 2014 BRZ about a month ago. I'm always looking for things to mod but there aren't many of these around in upstate New York. At the moment I have spyder tails and third brake light ordered and a kartboy shorty ordered. I've been debating the Perrin 3" resonated with Perrin overpipe but would love to see/hear in person. So I really want to be able to check out other builds before I do mods myself. Are there any meets around the area? I'm willing to travel but to an extent...
Here's a pic of my beauty as she sits now!
Any comments or opinions are welcome!

I think first mod should be reinstalling the stock wheels

Free to your own opinion, but these will be staying on

well then you better mod the driver cause those gotta go

[kylethomas23]

Lol I mean you guys can say whatever you want its not going to hurt my feelings... I think they look sick on the car in person and thats all that matters so the stocks won't be going back on until winter. I appreciate the honest opinions though its nice to know what people think!

Wheels are pretty meh, but it's your car. Just don't rice it up and we won't hunt you down :P

[kylethomas23]

@Mad1723 , thats what I need to get some opinions on, I'm afraid it will start looking like rice. I'm thinking about throwing an OEM or TRD spoiler on but again, I would love first hand opinions

Man this is turning into a rough crowd! Pay no attention to these nitwits, I like your wheels. As for mods you'll want to start saving up for one of these...

[kylethomas23]

Appreciate the compliment! I would love to put some boost in also. But that won't be for a while due to it being my daily driver and I live in upstate NY. Once it becomes a summer car in the next couple years, there will be boost. I still can't decide between a turbo or supercharger. So many pro's and con's to each.

That indeed is the eternal question. And then when you decide there's the matter of "who's kit?" and then "who's tune?"

I've been reading about FI options for these cars since I got mine two years ago and its taken that long for me to decide.

I'm sure I will be the same exact way. When it comes to something major like that I will want it to be absolutely perfect(not that everything else shouldn't be perfect). I've heard great things about the innovate twin screw SC, and the greddy turbo, but I need to see something in person when it comes time to making the decision

Those wheels aren't any worse than stock. The stock wheels do a pretty good job hiding our tiny little cast aluminum brake calipers, if I swapped wheels, I'd probably be tempted to have my calipers painted gloss black or silver.

Perrin 2" shorty antenna?

JDM clear side-markers?

5Axis rear spoiler?

"BRZ" de-badge?

OE mud-guards?

I do like the idea of painting the calipers, or just upgrading them completely. I was also leaning more towards a shark fin, but can't wrap my head around how something so simple can be approx $120. I do like the other ideas and can definitely see them happening in the coming months. I was thinking about black rally armors instead of regular guards, but dont know if its too "ricey" lol. Do you have any of these done to yours that I can see pics?
