Those of you who have had the opticoat done where did you have it and how much did it cost?

How many autocrossers in here? We should all meet and run our cars at an autox

@David-Fermani is who did all of ours. He posted above ^. Just send him a pm.

Congrats on the new car!

Just got my car back after 3 weeks at the dealer. No idea how anyone can leave it in storage all winter. 3 weeks without it was killing me!

Unfortunately they couldn't figure out the burning smell, they failed to fix the noisy rear deck and the new window seals aren't much better than the old ones.

Just spotted an Ultramarine Subbie BRZ (I think) heading down Southfield road by 14 mile. Was this anyone? I was the white FR-S going the other direction this morning around 8:40.

Saw a dark gray BRZ in auburn hills going towards W M59 a few days ago..

Ok I am officially settled in Beverly Hills MI, I want to meet up with you guys soon as long as my business travel doesn't interfere. I am going to install my Grimmspeed hood struts as soon as the weather warms up a few degrees then off to Opticoat when it warms up even more. What has everyone else got going on for the spring? Anyone else ride motorcycles? I am dieing to get mine out.

I was there Sunday, the new karts are a ton of fun, after 2 stints I got down to a best of 26.60, and was running lap after lap at 26.81-26.83. Seems they are right around 2 seconds faster than the old karts.

That was on Sunday when the weather was in the high 50's low 60's so a nice cool day in the 30s or 40s should be good for another few tenths, and I still think there is time out there by making a few more adjustments to when I was rolling the throttle on.

I haven't gotten out there yet to try the new karts. it'll likely be Cars & Coffee before I try them.

I am planning on heading to JD Racing in Novi (fountain walk) tonight to try their karts. Theirs are electric but should prove fun.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'll be there about 8pm.

Since you are so close now we should all grab a drink somewhere.
