The toms taillights are my fav too, and I think that'd prob be my first mod when I can find a set from someone cause it's $500 too much!

You can actually find the Tom's on Fleabay for closer to $400 shipped, but that's the cheapest I've found them new. A used set will pop up every now and again and used ones tend to sell quickly here on the classifieds.

The TRD and Carsmo spoilers are very minimalistic as well - I just don't dig the resemblance the stock limited spoiler has to that of an old Grand Am:

Got them from FT86 SpeedFactory. I think a few other vendors might sell them too. I'll see if I can attach a somewhat recent picture. My car is in the foreground with the smoked sidemarkers and that's @Crosscharge's in the background with them tinted/painted black.

I've had my car for almost a year, told myself I wouldn't mod it til after the warranty was up. Well that was a lie lol

Current mods:
Greddy CS GTS Ver.2 catback exhaust
Greddy Intake
Toms Reds JDM
JDM clear sidemarkers
KWV3 coilovers
H&R Spacers (20mm & 25mm)

I've spent more on aftermartket parts than my car payments combined this year LOL

No regrets, my car looks/sounds/feels awesome. Next mod are some wheels!

chaoskaze · 01-06-2015, 02:49 PM

I brought parts for dealer to install before they finish the inspection lol. All I ever done are very minor mod & exhaust thou.

Oh man!

I need to hurry up and get a career so I can start paying for those aftermarket parts :3

PERRIN_Chris · 01-06-2015, 03:28 PM

I think I waited about 4 hours or so, and did the best mod ever, a shorty antenna!

Reaper · 01-06-2015, 06:27 PM

I bought my turbo kit before the car. Soo....negative hours.

Cosmetic 3 days, Engine 11k mi.

Poodles · 01-06-2015, 08:42 PM

Well, I was going to add the STI kit to the car... So does buying a Series.Blue with all that stuff on it count?

First mod was Nokya yellow fog light bulbs and I had the car less than a week. Took me a little longer on the Valenti's, but I was waiting on the group buy.

tyrantcf · 01-06-2015, 10:17 PM

I've spent over $2500 (closer to $3000) on aftermarket parts in 6 months. Which is way more than I intended to.

And no plans to stop!

Liehtw8 · 01-06-2015, 10:40 PM

I bought my brz in the winter. So after I trailered it home to park it in my garage I started to order the usual things. Catback, drop in filter, pulleys, led interior lights, shorty antenna, shift knob etc. 11km on the car before parts were swapped out.

AZbrz89 · 01-06-2015, 10:58 PM

10 months

IDFWU 420 · 01-06-2015, 11:10 PM

Got my wheels and tires a month later.. planning on just doing few simple cosmetic and I'll be done.

I don't know if it's just me, I had to get new wheels and tires, I can't stand looking at my car's wheels and height...

Dude same here... spend alot of money than my car payments and I barely got it like 3 months ago lol

Just got wheels and tires for it, now I'm just doing simple cosmetics then I have to save.
It's not worth it unless I'm financially stable!!
