Started the cleanup process for opti-coating, but damn rain was a big problem. Hopefully will be done tomorrow.

Hey I'm glad you went with my recommendation to go with Bryan - post some pics when he's done! He's still waiting for mine to come in "any day now".

These are pics I took yesterday after the job was done.. It was an ugly day overall outside, it had been raining on and off all day.

So this is a good story, not as good as DadHawk's, but still good.

I got my pully yesterday and decided I'd put it on today while at my in-laws for my wife's 32nd birthday. My father in-law has many, many more tools than I.

So I get here and take everything apart. Grab the breaker bar he had for me with an adapter and a 22mm ratchet head thing. I'm one of those "Car Guys" that's not a CAR GUY.

Anyway, I proceed to break the adapter and bend his bar

My father in-law gives me a better bar and an impact wrench 22mm head. I try my damndest, all 190lb of me, can't get it to budge.

My brother in-law shows up, he's a diesel mechanic in his spare time.

He grabs it with his left arm, he's right handed of course, plants himself and in one smooth motion, pop, off it comes.

The level of inadequacy I felt can not be expressed in words...if my wife and I weren't married, she would have left me right then for sure!

Now it's on, and there is a very noticable difference in reving, I love it!

Got 50% tint all around. Not a huge difference but keeps the car a bit cooler

Took delivery yesterday! Today I was busy washing and waxing, swapped all amber signal bulbs for chrome bulbs, swapped stock antenna for a shorty that I saved from my trade-in, and swapped stock exhaust tips for new DC tips!

Switched all the bulbs in the car, the fog lights, reverse lights to LED's. Also put new exhaust tips to hold me over until I find an exhaust worth buying..

ATL BRZ · 07-31-2012, 12:43 PM

De-badged. Pic here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=11

Which Tips did you buy? got a link?

Jayde · 07-31-2012, 10:36 PM

I drove to work and then home. Does that count?!

Yes, I've posted that before.

Oh and I'm contemplating ordering JDM tips for the exhaust.
