My coworker, like me, has a white 2017 BRZ, but I hate his. He’s got an auto (which he put the a leather boot over with a manual shift knob), has fake CF vinyl wraps on his roof and spoiler, lowered 2 inches on cheap coilovers, and has added STI badges all over it. He even painted the calipers red and put STI stickers on them, everything else is completely stock. Everything he does to his car is purely for aesthetics.
I’m the polar opposite, I won’t do anything to my car unless it cuts time at autox or on track.
To each their own, but I just wanted to rant a bit.

Auto’s come with a leather boot that makes it look manual.

We all know those guys. They’re annoying as hell.

Don’t hate the car, it didn’t ask for it. It’s like the toy dog whose owner gave it a frilly haircut and a bright pink dye job.

There’s a guy in my town with a Mustang GT like mine, but with notable differences similar to what you’re describing. ...Like how I’ve upgraded to Cobra brakes, and he’s got “Brembo” caliper covers.

Convince him to come to an autocross and I’ll set him straight.
Brian Brooks in the “Lunar Storm” FRS is rocking an automatic, he regrets the slushbox now that he autocrosses. I don’t give anyone shit who runs whatever they brung.

He put another one over it that covers the plastic part, and replaced the knob with one from a manual car.

Here’s a better 2017 BRZ (with bonus 2013 BRZ!) as a palate cleanser.

That’s way worse than not knowing how to drive a manual.

Putting “Speed” on slow cars... never gets old.

Try not to base your happiness so much on validation from others.
