I've been wanting to see more black BRZ with black STI wheels and the STI lip kit. Thank you! I'm still not 100% on getting black STI wheels, but those seem to be the best deals I can find.

Well they can drive off, but once they turn off the car, it's done for without the key. So I just take my wallet and such with me until I'm returning to the car. No biggie.
