While under the car I dropped the straight pipe on my head. Ugh. Oh, and here's a shot of the car at the Maserati dealer in Broomfield, CO- where some local FRS/BRZ owners and I met up to drive to Cars and Coffee in Lafayette this past Saturday https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...15461013_o.jpg Please note that this was pre-exhaust install. Day 1: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BN4OsBgCcAAy66F.jpg:large Keep me motivated. -Joe |
Good choice in color!
|
Since I might do some carbon accents, I figured this was the most obvious choice!

New car. Hailstorm. fml.

Looking forward to what you do to her. :thumbup:

Update on the storm:
No damage! I was in the car for most of the storm, and parked under a large tree- so it just sounded a lot louder than it was, especially on the back third of the roof panel. If you've been in yours during a heavy rainstorm, you'll likely know what I mean. |
That is excellent news. It does not take very large hail to damage the triplets. One of the guys from Cleveland got quite a bit of damage from just dime size hail. Others have had the cars nearly totaled by larger hail.

Not really an update, per se, but still amusing:
On the way back to my house, rolled up to a stoplight next to an S2000. They tried to get me when the light changed, but I ended up taking them. Then we both got smoked by a Nissan GTR and a Corvette Z06. Fun times- haven't had this much fun fooling around since I had my SR20DET powered b13 Sentra. |
You shouldn't have been able to get the S2000. Either speaks well of your driving ability, or poorly of theirs :)

Update:
First addition is kind of a lame one, and I won't include pics as I'm sure you've all seen it: Subaru Sunshade. Next up, finalize my order from Rallysport Direct for the front license plate frame and mini antenna. My uncle will be in town next week (he's been in and around racing for 40 years), and I'm going to ask his advice on what to add next... although I'm leaning towards something like strut tower braces. |
Update number 2:
Ordered parts! -STi Clear Side Markers -GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocation Kit -GrimmSpeed Hood Struts -Perrin Super Shorty Antenna |
Another update for today:
Removed the badges off the back of the car. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BOMz89CCcAESPIe.jpg:large |
