Sun came out and temps went up to 6c so I took my tS out of winter hiding and gave it a good long run. I used a touchless car wash to get all the dust and grime off. Had coffee with my brother, in his truck, 'cause... Only drive thru's are open. On the way back home I stopped in at the shop that did the ceramic coating and booked the car in for it's yearly check up and top coat refresh. All in all a good day so far!

Bayson R. It's their take on the kouki TRD. However it doesn't exactly fit the zenki bumper. I didn't realize the 86 bumper was that much different.

Ah, so you had a little fitment trouble? Or was it pretty easy to overcome?

I didn't even realize that they changed anything on the rear. Thought it was just the front end.

There are mounting holes that I couldn't use, so I had to resort to double-sided tape. I guess the center section of the 86 bumper has different mount points.

I thought it was just cosmetic too. But I guess the wavy part on the diffuser changed how it's supported.

Been stuck the past two weeks mostly WFH except for occasional essential outings for groceries and whatnot. So last night I took my camera and tripod, and went on a quick drive up highway 9 (fun road neaby). When I came back into town, I decided to look for a spot that would be empty with lighting to try taking some night photos. My car is filthy so apologies for that, but I thought these came out pretty nice:
