I installed them both. The mood lighting are just led strips I wired into the same power source that supplies the taction control lighting so it comes on only with the interior lights. And the mirrors I got from a vendor on eBay. The quality is awesome and I ended up using silicone adhesive to attach it!

The mirrors look good Cameron. Any SEIBON stuff next?

From your experience it sounds like I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
I also blame Gran Turismo for my delusions.

Pretty much this. We went on Saturday and I did abysmal again. There is a big difference between conceptually understanding how to take a turn and actually doing it. Turns out I'm good at the former and absolutely horrible at the latter.

I think I'd know your car by now

. The guy driving this car apparently works around here and keeps similar hours to me because I've passed him several times now getting on 275. I'm assuming he isn't on the forums so one day I'll just jump the median and t-bone him so I can tell him about the site.

Spotted:

Red FR-S heading northbound on Woodward Avenue this morning. I saw it right around 12 mile round about 8:50am.

thank you! I am thinking the oem style CF spoiler...but we will see. dropping $500 on a spoiler may be something my wife has hesitation with...probably rightfully so but that said haha they definitely have some good stuff

eikond · 03-18-2013, 01:49 PM

I ordered the STIVO ducktail spoiler from WheelDude. . It was $350 shipped and painted. I think it's going to look really nice.. the wait is killing me though.. it's shipping from overseas.. so it'll be another 3 weeks or so.

This plan sounds reasonable. We will assimilate all BRZ/FR-S owners or they will perish! There can only be one!

At this rate, we probably need a group buy for this

Working on it! When that happens I'll be glad to help with some mods

But in the meantime I'm just thankful to have access to a lift at work.

This should have been standard equipment. "Well the ST is gonna be faster around a track and more practical, but the Toyobaru is gonna have a more sportscar seating position, better road feel and allow you to do PIT maneuvers. It comes down to whether or not grocery hauling capacity or the ability to spin someone out during a high speed pursuit is more important. Also I bet the twins would be a better starting point for an autox or destruction derby build."
