I sent a used listing for winjet headlights to my frs friend. He was like "u should def buy them, and let me snag your boomerangs". Lmao, like I'm letting an frs get my boomerangs. I see no reason to ever change headlights. CEO anti frs brz club

Did a bunch of stuff at my friend's shop today.

Picked up my SSR GTX01s (17x9 +38) that I ordered over a month ago, put on a set of Nankang NS2Rs (245/40, 255 too thicc), installed Tanabe Revel coilovers, put on a set of clear Valenti tail lights. Also got my Tomei UEL headers but that's on hold for a later time.

First impressions coming from stock: Steering is going to take some getting used to because now it feels super responsive in the corners, coilovers behave almost too well on city streets and feel about 90% similar to stock despite having a spring rate of 8K front and back, it's comforting to have decent tread on the rear tires again.

Not on the newer BRZ's. They snap in with a hundred plastic tabs.

I use base coat/clear coat. You clean everything good and remove all wax from the area. get an artist brush and carefully touch up where the dings are. From there use 400 grit sand paper and sand and touch up until the chips are filled and everything is smooth. Then use a artist air brush to spay the clear over where you sanded. After the clear has cured you polish it back out and reapply wax.

Thank you!

Just several more. Had to chase daylight by the time I got back home.

edit: Just realized that one of my license plate lights are out. I swear all the old bulbs on this thing are slowly blowing out one by one.
