It's pre-totalled currently. I still got a bit of life left in my 2013! And, before it gives out on me, I plan on dumping money into it like someone would a boat or a lawsuit. Just seems to be a WISE investment in my future! Or a nice way to throw a few grand in the ditch. Whatever.

Now you get to go to 15 different shops looking for one that can physically get your car on a lift AND properly align it once it's up there.

Yes, hopefully they will get it aligned monday...

My fender is 25.25". it looked better at 24.75... but I raised it.

Replaced the ugly amber marker lights with awesome clear ones with new LED bulbs.

It looks like the front needs to be .25" down from what the rear is.

Destriped my car. I wasn't sure which look I wanted and just said the hell with it. Took about 20 minutes including rewaxing the area

I also ordered the trunk lid carpet liner that comes on the BRZ's. The underside of the lid just seems unfinished

What did you paint the caps (plastic) with and also what red paint did you use? I have these wheels as well and was curious since the factory caps didn't really color match to the wheel.

Thanks in advance,

The wheels were rough and required full-respray so the caps were done the same color. Color is General Motors GunMetal BGM0536. The GM color is slightly lighter than the OEM color but the Matte Clear darkened them a bit. The TRD logos are Porsche Guards Red touchup. The whole thing was clear coated with a couple coats of Matte Wheel Clear.
