Still needs to be painted, but you get the idea. Origin Labo lip kit.

Sick. The origin aero looks badass.

Glad I finally can see real pictures of it on a real car. I might have to pull the trigger on it now. I imagine the fitment of the kit was pretty good yeah?

Yeah man, I was eyeing it for a while before I decided to go for it. All the pics I could find had the wide body which was an eye sore. The fitment was "good" with a little modification of the sideskirts. The mounting flaps in the front and rear were just a touch short, so I did away with the front ones. It's not a problem since I mounted them pretty securely along the bottom.

Used to live in Lake Charles? Yeah some places are a pain to enter/exit, but for the most part it's not that bad.

PS. I don't plan on having the lips on the car 24/7 just yet. The plan is to have my car on air by the end of the year, so at that point I'll feel comfortable rocking the whole kit on the daily.

Thanks. The tires are doing well. I've got a shit ton of miles on them and only minimal camber wear. I don't know my camber specs right now since I don't have a camber kit yet lol. It's next on my list to buy though.

Spacers and LCAs ordered. Hot Import Nights in Houston is in a couple weeks, so I'll be busy getting fitment dialed in. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the Origin Labo kit painted in time, so I'll have to wait to debut it later in the year. It's all good. I'll still be lower static than some bagged cars lol...

So... an update...

Spent 6 hours detailing the FRS for Hot Import Nights last Saturday. Drove to Houston, TX from Lake Charles, LA on Saturday. Showed the car with positive reactions from everyone I spoke with. Sunday morning attended Coffee and Rice hosted by Mayday Garage. Monday night...







Monday night I was out returning a movie and decided to drive a bit. Going around a curve under an overpass, a cat ran in front of me and I reacted by swerving. The car broke loose and I ended up sliding into a tree. I wasn't injured, but the car was totaled.



I couldn't decide what my next car should be. I didn't want an FRS again, but nothing else on the market in my price range "fit" me. I found the BRZ at a dealership an hour down the road and put a deposit on it. Drove over Friday and made it mine.
