How long did the detail/coating take?

Bryan showed up around 9AM and left about 4PM. I hope he took a break for lunch somewhere in there, but it was about 7 hours over all.

Looks great!

Did Bryan give a reason for recommending Hard Body over OptiCoat? When I talked to him a few weeks ago he made no mention of Hard Body.

Dadhawk, it just came out. Bryan tested on his wife's car and said the results were amazing. It offers better scratch resistance than opticoat. I'm sure others will have a difference of opinion, but I trust Bryan's recommendations. Here's a video of the stuff being tested:

Good enough for me. Thanks, and again the car looks great!

Man no rear shot of the spoiler? Looks fantastic though!

I'll get some more pictures for everyone.

From what I gather the Hard Body is supposed to last 2 years, can be recoated, and has a smooth finish. The Opti-Guard/Coat might last longer and has a less-slick finish. I'm still deciding between the two.

Thanks, definitely want to see more shots of the spoiler, from straight back and more of the rear quarter view. Kind of torn between the 5AD spoiler and the Tamon spoiler, feeling like the 5AD is a little too short but the Tamon is maybe a little too tall...

BR33Z3 · 07-23-2012, 08:24 AM

As requested, I took some more pictures of the spoiler over the weekend. I think I got just about every angle covered.

You can see my Perrin 2" Shorty antenna in the pictures as well.

I love that spoiler so much. It has a nice refined and classy look to it.

Itgb · 07-23-2012, 01:11 PM

The spoiler looks great and really balanaces out the lines at the rear of the car.

Phaedrus29 · 07-23-2012, 01:23 PM

Spoiler looks great...I have one on order. Quick question: did you have to remove the "Subaru" and "BRZ" lettering to make the spoiler fit, or you just did that for looks?

I had the lettering removed before I did the spoiler, so I'm not sure if it needed to be or not. I think it would interfere and probably needs to be moved down a bit if you want to keep it.
