Finally got around to trimming my rear plastic floor and weathertech mat to work with my cusco strut tower brace. Have to buy an extra 17mm wrench and 8mm allen key to keep in the truck just in case I get a flat tire and need to access the spare tire and tools.

Notice a difference with that? I've thought about getting one, but I don't want to have to cut my interior up...

Detailed the outside today. Need to vacuum the inside though. Then she'll be looking showroom fresh.

Not a clue. It came with the car when I bought it (got it used with 2600 miles on it). I cut slits in the factory trunk mat and the weathertech mat so I didnt have to cut chunks out of them. The factory Styrofoam didn't need to be trimmed.

hmmm... I don't have a weathertech matt, so I wouldn't have to worry about that. I figure adding braces is one of the few mods on this car that you can easily do without worrying about ruining the perfect handling. I'll have to look into those. Thanks!

The new Cusco front bars have a Brake Master Cylinder brace, just FYI. :happy0180:

Very True, see you have the BRZ, that's what I originally wanted but everyone around here told me it would be about a year wait, a month for the FR-S sounded better to me

I don't blame you at all. I had a pre-order in Chapel Hill with estimated delivery of June 2013. I happened across one at a dealer in Boston, MA and wound up buying from them. I flew up on a Friday night, took delivery on Sat morning and drove it all the way back that day. It was a blast!!!!

I actually test drove a 6MT black FR-S at Fred Anderson in Raleigh and came oh so close to just buying it on the spot!!!! Found my BRZ the very next week by coincidence.

Hope to see you around!

It definitely gives the engine a throatier sound when you get on it.

Mr.Corvus · 03-08-2013, 04:14 PM

Day-dreamt about all the things I'd like to mod on my car~

Speaking of which, I saw some of you have blacked out emblems and I was planning to do the same this weekend after installing my hood dampers. Would you guys mind dropping a few pointers for a first time modder?

Thanks in advanced

dkrou351 · 03-08-2013, 04:16 PM

Made this up on my computer and had my buddy cut out the sticker for me. I thought it was clever :P Let me know if anyone wants them made, any color or size!
