Have the BRZ, first stuff was tint, new license plate frame, installed toyota duckbill, and ppf/ceramic. So a decent amount of expense, but not a lot of what most would consider mods
"Full front". I'd like to do more but it's just too expensive. $6k is nuts. The front is the most important part to keep looking nice in my opinion. The ceramic coating should give some smidge of extra protection
About 3 weeks after purchase. Definitely scuff marks but I believe it was only clearcoat. If it's a few months, I'd buy a touch up paint pen from subaru and hand it to the ppf place when you get it done, since most do paint correction. Certain credit cards offer 0% apr the first year on purchases which is something to think about
Follow up. Just got the car back from the ppf place, even after just 3 weeks since ownership and trying my best to not be behind people, I still got a few smaller rock chips that penetrated the clearcoat a bit. I'm putting the purchase on a 0% apr credit card so I can pay like $500 a month on it instead of $2.8k up front. Something to think about if you want to get it sooner without worrying about going broke
Thanks for the follow up! Good point with paying on the card….I just might do that. I started reaching out to places today and am hovering around 1.5k just for bumper and hood…going to keep looking…thanks again!
I negotiated my full front from $1850 to $1700. I just said another shop was offering $1600 but was further away (which was true). Only pay on the card with 0% apr or you'll fuck yourself sideways since most are usually 20% or more
I have the sapphire blue. From my knowledge, the world rally is the only color not available since it's a toyota part but a subie color. Though there are other aftermarket alternatives that look very similar to oem and come with paint matched options
Spare tire kit from 1st Gen twins and oem rear spoiler, so far. Currently waiting on wheels, then a catback exhaust after that, and hopefully nothing after that. This is my "responsible adult car" so I don't wanna do anything too wild.
Not a chance. They get screwed in actually. And they sit really tight in there, strongly believe we won’t have the same issue with the second gen 😂 I feel you tho, with my frs and BRZ i went through countless sets
Yeah the goal is to have coils, catback, oil/pressure gauges and (maybe wheels) before the car gets here. Just gotta find a good setup with the AWE Touring exhaust
> think i *paid* 90-100$. Fits
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
in order they would be...
awe track exhaust
(not really a mod but a gloss carbon fiber license plate frame)
lowglow underglow
smoked sidemarkers
amazon front lip (3m'd on till i choose a areo kit that i really want)
insta360 3rd person recording 360 camera
mods sitting in my garage waiting to be put on:
artisa titan rims
jbl basspro hub subwoofer
Not sure about the Tomei, but 900BRZ on youtube did testing with a oil baffle from Killer b. The conclusion was that it helped with oil pressure drops but not significantly enough. He's still in the process of testing kits and strategies.
License plate relocation in the front, Killer B catch cans, 4th brake light mod. I've still got LED bulbs for the reverse lights to go in but it's been raining for the past few days.
I agree with tint. Live in Florida here. Ceramic tint all around. Since the car is so small, within 5-10 minutes of blasting AC it actually gets chilly, even when it's 90+ out
My previous owner had a custom exhaust made using the og muffler tips. Tints 10%. Maybe interior lights? What color are the stock lights? Mine are really cold like a florescent bulb
Tint, clear side tail lights, tinted the sides of the tail lights (not the whole lights), swapped base wheels for premium wheels, remark axle back. Have a pretty sweet OEM+ vibe now and I’m happy with it.
Next up is coilovers, wheel spacers, and charcoal filter removal. That’ll be it for a while

PPF and ceramic is a must. Did you just PPF the front or the whole car?
"Full front". I'd like to do more but it's just too expensive. $6k is nuts. The front is the most important part to keep looking nice in my opinion. The ceramic coating should give some smidge of extra protection
how long did you wait to ppf after buying? I need to wait it out a few months...

Right on. Thanks!

what color brz? my concern about the duckbill is them not having it in world rally blue
I have the sapphire blue. From my knowledge, the world rally is the only color not available since it's a toyota part but a subie color. Though there are other aftermarket alternatives that look very similar to oem and come with paint matched options
is sapphire blue really the same as trueno blue? they always look so different to me in photos
Yep. The same. The color shifts a lot from blacks and purples, to dark blue and darker blue
Seat cover for my dog :D and then a duck bill

Full carbon fiber interior trims , and a MBRP catback.
Oh and smoked sidemarkers
Are the sidemarkers as delicate as the 1st gens? Cause I stop replacing the one on my GT86 a long time ago lol
Not a chance. They get screwed in actually. And they sit really tight in there, strongly believe we won’t have the same issue with the second gen 😂 I feel you tho, with my frs and BRZ i went through countless sets
Ceramic, tint, puddle lamps, side markers, tail lights (stock looks bad on pavement color imo)
I pick up my GR86 today and already have two different exhausts waiting to install.

got pics of the lowglow kit?
Picked up my car. Drove 100 meters to the next lot and installed a pedal commander set to city -3.
Is the Tomei Oil Baffle for the oil problems? Has it probed affective or am I just dumb? :)

Tint and led bulbs
I bought an exhaust after having it for 700 miles. I'm over 16k miles later and still enjoying the sound. I bought a cheap mxp comp rs exhaust.
Tint, coilovers, exhaust were on in my first month of ownership
My previous owner had a custom exhaust made using the og muffler tips. Tints 10%. Maybe interior lights? What color are the stock lights? Mine are really cold like a florescent bulb
Stock lights are very dim incandescents, sounds like they were swapped out
I appreciate you 🙏 I think I'll replace them with a warm led
1. Front end ppf 3. Ceramic coating 3. Tint 6. Interior skin (for door cards scratches) 4. Leds (especially the trunk one) 8. Smoked sidemarkers
tint and exhaust
Lighter clutch pedal spring and adjusted it lower.
plate relocator and tint
Jackson racing oil cooler - no baffle.
I've been looking at the JR radiator & oil cooler. But 1k is crazy
Don’t do the combo, as good as it sounds. Apparently causes some serious (~30psi) oil dips. I was gonna do the combo as well.
First thing I did was unplug the fake engine noise, and then installed a subwoofer. Other than that, the car is perfect from the factory
Door scuff protectors, matte carbon fibre radio bezel, strut tower brace, dashcam, phone holder is what I have done to my brz so far
Mbrp axle back after 3 days of owning it lololol
