BRZ Detailed
 
I got my car detailed by Lucas from Reflective this past week and I meant to got pics up sooner but the long weekend and school got in the way!

Lucas and I had been in contact for awhile and we were forced to reschedule several times due to weather issues. He was very prompt in replying to messages and answering calls and arrived exactly on time for our scheduled meeting.

I would definitely recommend him to other FRS/BRZ owners looking to detail. He washed/decontaminated, clay bared, polished and opti-guarded my car.

I took some pics of the process and thought I would share!

Here is part of the process to remove iron from the car:

He even moisturized the weather guard strip:

And here are some pics of the car @ Night with the interior & exterior LEDs I have installed. The trunk lights and interior lights are VERY bright - but I duno... they look too blue to me. Don't get me wrong they look very nice but I want to get bright white light which these particular ones don't seem to offer. I think I'll order some off a vender from this site and compare later.

The reverse lights aren't LEDs... looking to get those changed out at the same time as the turn signal lights:

So what's next for my Zed?
Well I took her to OptionJDM today and had Jon take her for a spin. Jon has placed 1st in the GT Challenge at Mosport International Raceway in 2010 and 2nd in GT Sprints at Shannonville Motorsports Park in 2009 - so I trust that he knows what he's talking about :D

He suggested stickier tire asap along with a good set of KW coilovers & an exhaust. He also gave me a tour of the shop + garage and I got to take a peak at their racing cars.

I suggest any Canadians in the GTA looking to grab parts for their cars send them a PM or drop by there shop! Very friendly team with great prices.

If you're looking for good LED lights cheap try www.dx.com. They have the best prices and free shipping. That detailer (looks like a very young guy?) did a good job. Was it reasonably priced for the opti treatment?
