brianL's STX BRZ build, story, and pictures

I had damage on my roof and had small dings and dents on my right quarter panel,hood,a pillar and fender. The total damage came out to 5,800 dollars and insurance paid.

I brought the car to a trusted body shop that painted a lot of our cars at my old shop that we restored and a lot of high end luxury cars.There not cheap but they do great work.

They replaced the hood, mirror, and the roof with O.E.M. parts. Everything got painted except the doors bumpers and trunk lid

Even though these pictures are scary looking the car came out looking like the day I bought it. (Fun fact the roof is only held on by 4 spot welds and the rest is heavy duty adhesive from the factory)

Time for MODS!!!!!:party0030:

I ordered enkei RPF1's 17X9 +45 offset all around.I purchased Bridgestone RE11A's 255/40/17 I was going to get hankook rs3 since they are super grippy but I daily drive this car so I wanted a good dual purpose tire for wet/dry.

These wheels and tires do not fit the car with stock suspension in the front due to the spring purge hitting the side wall of the tire. Sooooooo I wasn't plaining on getting coilovers this year since I am building my supra but I purchased a set of KW V3's :)

I bought the wheels tires and coilovers at Prime motoring in East Rutherford N.J. and I give them a A++ they were great to deal with and they hooked my up with the KW's installed for the same price they go on FT86 Speedfactory.
