Provably my last mod for the year, however there is currently no release date for them. Valenti sequential tails.

I've never been a fan of aftermarket tail lights but these (and the toms tails) look much better than stock.

Seeing any modified car with stock suspension is a buzz kill.

In time, baby steps. I can't yet justify spending $1000-$2000 on coil overs when I still owe $15k on the loan.
Small $ mods are okay for now.

Even then, there's a good chance I might sell my brz when the 2nd generation brz comes out (rumored 2018) and might hold off for cool overs until then.

We will see, but for now, I'm happy.

Stock suspension and aftermarket rims looks awkward alot of the time imo. The spec on these looks pretty off too.....

What spec are you referring to?


It's already been confirmed that there will be. Sales are doing fine, the media just plays it up in a negative way.

It looks like you could have gone quite a bit wider.

I'm actually pretty flush with the fender, I would have considered going 10mm more though but not any wider than that.

On stock body you can run a 9.5" rim and 265s.

Too wide for my liking and is a higher continuous ongoing expense when replacing wheels/tires.

These wheels are 8.25, I probably wouldn't go higher than 8.5

265s really aren't that bad to replace. Even a 9" rim and a 245 would have worked quite abit better.

Anything is better than a Prius tire.
