I'm interested in seeing this... May want one too. How does it work? Require to remove the old gasket (if there is one)?

i believe the current tsb for tail light leaking has a lot to do with poorly formed tail lights... requires the sheet metal holes where the tail lights bolt up to, to be dollied flat using a body hammer and anvils... then replacing the tail lights and gaskets... the gaskets themselves only stop water from leaking into the trunk, not into the tail light... as of the time of the TSB, the lights have been revised to correct a poor fit causing the lights to flex when mounted, and therefore intoduce water into the lens...

mr. jay, email me if you want me to set you up with a replacement set of OE lights...

I see ppl with aftermarket tail have same issue too. DIY gasket seem work for some reason, read a article somewhere that Tetsuya Tada point out the tail light itself is fine. Try to find that article....

I saw a white BRZ in Richmond Subaru too.

Hi Guys I am just wondering if anyone has tried the Nameless exhaust and if you liked it and / or have any concerns about it?

Thanks!

How soon does the opti-coat need to be put on for best results? ASAP or can I wait until April?

ASAP if you want it to be pristine. Anytime you wait and drive it around without the opti-coat you risk damaging your paint.

Damaged paint = more work for the detailer to buff and polish = more labour hours = more $$$

I would drive the car off the lot with all the wrappers on the car still (like a prototype car lol) and straight to Ken at Exclusive Autowerkes.

(And yes, that's EXACTLY what I did... Lol)
