I just left them out for 3 days.

Does this cause any interference with the window and window seal?

Put my Tom's on yesterday. I wasn't 100% sold on them from pictures but I like them a lot more in person.

Looks good.

I'm loving the TOMS on the BRZ. Was wondering where you got them from since i'm thinking about buying a pair and installing them.

EDIT: Also, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a window tint shop in NYC? Looking to tint them as much as possible without violating the law. I believe its 70% light must go through.

Thanks in advance!

I got mine from fteightysix's shop. They shipped it out same day.

Installation was easy for the most part. Kind of a pain to get to the one relay but everything only took about an hour to do. I love how these lights look at night.

No. The automatic roll down feature is a protection against freezing temperatures. It protects the glass from breaking when opening the door in the event that the window gasket has been frozen onto it. It has no use in non-freezing weather.

But it freezes in place in freexing weather...

Yeah, one of the reasons to get them is because of how it looks at night. Thanks for the redirect!

Finally gave it some "meat"…

I may stick with the clears but TOMS are so tempting.

For my other question, anything that I should be looking at when I get my windows tinted here in NYC?

Haha well, that too. Any brand of tint I should be looking at (or type)?

Just in case anybody asked - we are now finishing our design works on factory BRZ/FR-S/GT86 steering wheel and our custom cover will be officially released later this week

Stay tuned, boys and girls!

Take care

Threw these new tails on today. The back end of the car is pretty much done. Baking my headlights then off to wheels and reduce the gap! Been a fun first 6 weeks of ownership.
