Off of Lohr Road, south of 94. Right by Ann Arbor municipal airport. I'm driving out there wednesday, and I start work April 1st.

Anyhow.. the wheels are about the cheapest you can find. XXR 530 18x8.75 +33. They were around $140 each brand new. Check the thread in the wheels section on XXR wheels.. tons of pictures and ordering info, etc..
I know live in Beverly Hills, so I am down by everyone, no longer in Midland. We need to get a small meet up for some beers of local guys.

You'll probably win best in class with the all seasons because at this rate we'll still have snow on the ground.

Welcome to Michigan!

I am a NJ transplant myself (New Brunswick - Rutgers). Where are you from in NJ?

Also, as you don't need a front plate in MI, I used the Hillman J3 push fasteners (H#881199 http://www.lowes.com/pd_138211-37672...ductId=3012768) to plug the front bumper holes in the BRZ bumper.

I bought my car from NJ, so, I had to plug the dealer installed speed holes. Anyway, AA is a usual weekend hangout for me, so, if you see a gray BRZ, do say hello.

Eikond, you should post some pics in the XXR wheel thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17839 That is an awesome wheel for the WRB. Your car looks stunning.

Thanks for the compliment! I posted lots of pics in the main XXR wheels thread. They'll be tired of me now in that thread. :)

I'm looking forward to a free weekend and some warmer weather. I've got some side skirts, rear spats and a rear valance to install. Also waiting for my spoiler (as patiently as I can at least).

Have been car shopping with the missus and Thursday is one of the days the dealerships are open late. I might make it but i won't know until closer to Thursday.

DKPJester 03-26-2013 09:39 AM
So I have mentioned seeing a white BRZ with aftermarket wheels around here several times and yesterday I was out with coworkers for lunch and that guy was at the same sushi place. I recognized him as I've passed him about 15 times, but as we took my friend's Altima instead of my FR-S there was no way I could conceive to tell him about the forum that didn't start with "Hey so I've been stalking you and..." lol. It made me feel super creepy. I'm sure I'll run into him in my car at some point and I'll try to get him on board.

Stivo ducktail from WheelDude: Paint matched to WRB. I like the look a lot. Nothing flamboiant or crazy.. just a nice accent to the shape of the car. I think the line flows really nice with the shape of that body line over the rear wheels

It really should be 'A square' as in A X A = ______ but keyboards, most of them, do not have math language - like mine. At least that is how the U of M engineers read it. Now in the psychology dept it might be 'A-two' or 'two-A'. But what do they know. Just some background for the person moving to Ann Arbor from Jersey.

AČ - Hold ALT, and press 0178, release ALT (assuming you are on windows) for superscript 2

Edit: Apparently alt codes only work on num pad

Hey if anyone is looking for the only good looking CF eyelid check out this thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...566#post819566

The fact it's a group buy I am in and trying to fill up spots is purely a coincidence :)

I saw a WRB BRZ in ann arbor today!...pulled into chase bank over on Zeeb--I was gonna chat with you but didn't want to be a creeper.

Sevs753 03-28-2013 03:49 PM
I'm sure you're all tired of it but just one last reminder. I'm going to be at JD Racing tonight at about 7:30pm. Anyone's free to join. Its just a coworker and I so we could definitely use more racers.

Sorry, but as expected I'll be test driving econoboxes. Will be at Kart2Kart for Cars and Coffee next week though.

Anyone around Warren this afternoon with an illinois plate? White FRS, tinted, looked a little lowered but not 100% on that.

DKPJester 03-29-2013 12:15 AM
Thankfully the snow finally melted off my car so I can see all the condensation in my tails! FML

I'm looking to plastidip my wheels this weekend, anyone care to help?

By help I mean, let me use your jack, and 4 jack stands while talking about random crap while waiting for the paint coats to dry...I promise there's something in there for you!

I'll buy you dinner/food/beer? (pick one)

I'm in A2

hobojoker 03-29-2013 01:01 PM
Just passed a WRB Brz on Jackson Ave, I was in SWP brz heading opposite way

Whoever you find to help let me know I will need help in the near future for my own wheels. I am installing my hood struts today from GrimmSpeed if anyone is interested in seeing them let me know. Look like quality so far.

Here are some pictures of the GrimmSpeed hood struts installed. Stuff seems to be real quality, love the piston pressure.

hobojoker 03-29-2013 04:03 PM
That looks awesome mac. How was the install?
