Keep it lightning red. You do not see many Red BRZ's

Nice build man. It's not an easy feat getting me excited in the morning, but this thread delivers.

Thanks Alan! I'll be honest here, when Mike brought your car out to SoW last month, it convinced me to go with the same APR lip because your car looked so good! Originally I was going to go with the APR front splitter but now I have no regrets going with the lip. One of these days we'll have to meet up and compare notes

Hehe yeah that's what I'm leaning towards and it looks like the majority of folks voting agree with you too. When I first bought the car I wanted a WRB so bad but after "settling" for the red, it's really grown on me over time. Hopefully if I get it painted or wrapped, the shop will be able to keep it as vibrant as the OEM Lightning Red.

There will be some new pics incoming soon! I also plan to write up a more extensive blog of thoughts on the car and all the mod parts I've gotten - it'll be up for my car's first birthday in a few weeks

I think the red looks good on your car Ted!

Soon! I had a small delay on the turbo installation due to a late decision to go with a ceramic coating of the header and downpipes (and finding out there was about a 2 week wait to get it done at my local shop). I was also planning on waiting to put the turbo on before writing up my 1 year review of my experience with the car and its modification but maybe I'll do that a bit sooner than later.

Thanks for checking in though! And I promise there are exciting things incoming

P.S. @TemeCal @heeltoe86 I've made plans to head out for Spring Mountain on Oct 5. As long as my car is still in one piece by then, I'll be there!

P.P.S. Ok here's one pic I was gonna save for my review... My BRZ early on with his older meaner brother (before I let him go)...

We'll be out there both days (Sat and Sun). Are you planning to have the turbo installed before the event? Looking forward to seeing it in action.

...and beautiful GTR you had!

Yep, the turbo should be on by then! No gentle break in either - I have 3 track days scheduled for the car within 2 weeks of the turbo being on >.< Here's hoping for the best...

And thanks, I do miss it from time to time

If you haven't already registered type in Guerra86 for a small discount and free timing from Speedventures @ImperiousRex. I sure hope you SoCal guys don't show us Vegas guys up in numbers. Currently only showing 5 Vegas drivers for sure.
