I was going to put one in mine for just the fun of having it.
My bad, I already have keyless access/start. I was saying the JDM button itself is expensive.

Yeah, to buy it alone is rediculous, something along the lines of $150-170

I was going to pick up the 3rd bumper brake light to take that grill insert out of the rear bumper until I found most places wanted the same $150-170 for a plastic housing and lens to cover that...

Ugh...never vehicle demand is killing me. This is an expensive game to play lol.

STI push buttons are the BEST! Get the BRZ one because it lights up!

I wish I could squish both of those cars into one, ultimate WRX/STI.

Red looks damn good in pictures. I will keep saying it until it happens, I want to see red in person.

My favorite color combos are Red on white or black on gold. There is a BMW that rolls around town with that combo that just makes me drool.
I was looking hard at that Red hatch STi that was for sale a few years ago, guess I have to live with the white.
Problem is work vs reward when taking the time to detail the exterior. White IMHO isn't worth the time to clay and wax frequently. A quick wash produces the same result. Unlike a darker color, which provides an instant gratification, mirror look.

Default Installed Gorilla Offroad Bar Last Night!

Just got the bar in yesterday and put it on last night. Mounts up rock solid and the attached skid plate looks like it can take a beating. Welds and powder coating are top notch.
It took a little while to get here, but Derek is a great guy to work with and I can't recommend Gorilla stuff enough.
The horrid phone pictures don't do this thing justice.

Oh wow! That's badass! It looks really solid, tying in to all those subframe locations. Very nice!

thanks!
It may just be me, but the steering and front end feel a bit tighter, like there is some pseudo front brace action going on. I can stand on the bar, and it just feels like the whole car bounces down on the springs.

I can't say enough good things about Gorilla- I have their mudflaps as well and they are also built like tanks- as well as being more matte finished and having the stickers served on the side, so you don't have to wear around logos if you don't want to.

So broke off the stupid rear diff temp sensor last night while doing fluid changes.....
While browsing Conti's site to see if it was open this weekend, its not, I saw they had a BRZ Series in stock. Didn't know about these, I blame Chano for not keeping me updated! lol

Lol.

After looking into it a bit, the FRS 1.0 looks more appealing.

My bad Eric! The Series.Blue is kinda cool for the blue interior and STI aero, but you're right, the 1.0 Series is the one I'd get, becausericer. The BRZ wheels are still 17x7. The Scion has the one-off TRD body kit in yellow. Plus different suspension. Just change the wheels and you're set!

JC19 welcome to the Dark Side!

Installed LED DRL/highbeams and turn signals all around from Subispeed.com. Really like it with out the amber. The DRL also looks much better without the yellow glow.

I didn't like how bright the LED's looked in the DRL's, they looked too bright. If it appears to be high beams, that would cause more visits from law enforcement.

Do you have pictures on?

I can get some pictures both in the sun and later in the day when i have a better camera. It doesn't seem bad to me, I think the biggest test will be closer to winter and there is more dusk to see how they do and if i get flashed by other drivers. If that's the case I can just use the lows which look great too with the limited.

Thanks, looking forward to pictures.

One of my pet peeves, there's a legacy running around on base with HID's as their DRL and during the day I want to flash them.
