A Little Delayed But... Hi!
 
I've had my FR-S for a couple of weeks, have posted a few things... And just now finally took some pics of her.

A few things to note:
2013, 9600 on the clock.
Rebuilt title. Pics I had found of the totaled damage, looked like it ran under a truck. Hood was messed up, bumper was shot, and passenger fender was bent.
Assuming minor frame damage, but looks to have been repaired well.
Air bags were not replaced, as I later learned. I'm still irritated about that and need a new steering wheel bag and airbag module.
I hit a deer the other night. Only about 15 mph as I had slammed on the brakes... And then essentially punched it in the ass. Very minor damage, I'll just be fixing the bumper with fiberglass and then repainting it.

Otherwise, she's mine and beautiful (to me). Tasteful mods will be added, likely the BRZ spoiler, some Kosei K4Rs, not sure which tail lights.

But did you spy where I hit the deer? =P

Yeah... The shop that did the body work didn't have a good grasp on how to paint.

Didn't do much for it really. I took my buffer and M105/M205 compounds to clean it up.
Today I used TurtleWax's black detailer and spray wax. It's quick and easy to use, offers decent protection. If you use it frequently it's great for protection.

Well, it sure looks as if it just rolled off the production line! Looks real good, name-mate :p

Lol, yep.
It really saddens me that it happened... But I'll get it fixed.
Contemplating vinyl wrapping it or plastidipping it once I've done the repair, and then do a full repaint in a year or two.
