It's Trunk or Treat Time

It is officially nearing to the end of car meet/car show season until springtime, and for the month of October, local organizers on social media groups will host plenty of Trunk or Treat events. These are family-friendly, where the kids come out to collect an abundance of Halloween candy before Halloween, and it gives us a chance to show our cars off one more time while the weather isn’t too cold.

For many of you, the summer was a time to gather ideas, and figure out what mods you would really like to have on your car for the next season. Now many of us have already performed mods as far as our budgets allowed to our BRZ/FR-S/86, or A90 Supra to make this season a little sweeter. However, for most of us gearheads, mods are a never-ending pit.

During Trunk or Treat season, we have the month of October where meets are held frequently, and are not exclusive for the weekends, they take place during the evening, and best of all, we are not roasting in the hot summer sun for hours. It is one last time of showing off our cars before we tuck them away for the winter. There are always some enhancements you can do to finish off the season while getting prepared for the winter build.

But before we get there, let’s enjoy this fun Halloween season where we can dust off our flannels, make our way to our local Spirit Halloween stores to get the latest trendy costume. While filling our spaces with another round of punkin spiced candles. Some of you will throw fake blood all over your cars as if you just left a car meet in a Mustang.

And some of you may want to decorate your BRZ, 86, or FR-S with components in the best Halloween color which is orange. That being said, here are some ideas to enhance your BRZ, FR-S, or 86.

 

NRG Innovations FRP Ultra Editi0on Bucket Seat - Universal

Halloween aside, you never really see orange racing seats. This is a fixed-back seat that offers exceptional lateral support during racing situations, and the vegan microfiber is a pretty unique yet comfortable fabric to offer comfort and style.

 

Meagan Racing Lowering Springs Front: 1.75” Rear: 1.25”  2013-2024 BRZ/FR-S/86

For those of you who don’t want the inherent harshness of some coilover setups, but also want to keep things relatively stock with a little bit of drop to complete the look.

 

STI Dual Orange Dual Climate Control Knobs 2013-2021 BRZ/FR-S/86

These are a simple way to add a little more color and personality to your interior. These are simple to install, while feeling a little better while adding more heat or AC to your comfort level.

 

GCS Anodized Aluminum Climate Control Trim Orange 2013-2021 BRZ/FR-S/86

Anodized orange finish to get you into the fall spirit.

 

GCS Anodized Orange Shifter Plate Trim Bezel 2013-2021 BRZ/FR-S/86

This is a great piece to add with any other orange interior bits you may have. Beautiful, anodized orange finish. And like most interior trim pieces, this is also simple to install.

 

 

RAYS Dura Nut L42 Straight Type Lug Nuts Orange

Awesome lug nuts. If you’re going to make the investment in an expensive set of wheels, secure them with a quality set of lug nuts. In the spookiest color this season.

 

NRG Innovations 2.5 Quick Release Steering Wheel Adapter SRK-250OR - Orange

Be sure to choose part number SRK-250OR to get the orange option. Enthusiasts with racing seats will often have a racing steering wheel with a quick release adapter to make getting in and out of the car easier especially if you have fixed seats. Available in many anodized finishes, but for this season, we are going with orange.

 

BLOX BRZ Style Shift Knob Orange 2013-2021 BRZ/FR-S/86

Something you really don’t see in any interior is an orange shift knob. Now if you have an all-black interior, orange adds a nice contrast to the interior. A great way to add more comfort and styling this season.

 

Sticker Fab Carbon Fiber Front and Rear Emblem Overlays Orange 2013-2021 BRZ

Now this is an easy and affordable way to add subtle customization you can do to the exterior of your BRZ. Just peel and stick. Available in orange for your upcoming trunk or treats.

 

Hella Supertone Horn Kit 2013-2024 BRZ/FR-S/86

One of the most popular upgrades for Subarus of all generations as you can see these horns behind the grills in older WRX and STI models. The main functionality is that they are louder to raise surrounding driver awareness. And yes, we chose these for the season because they are orange.

 

Finally, have fun this Halloween season, and don’t cheap out on the candy. Get the Twix, the Reese’s, Snickers, Milk Duds, basically anything that’s not Smarties, Dum Dums, or peanuts. Have fun this season, become come midnight on Halloween night, Mariah comes out of her cave.
