Got bored so installed my Cusco Strut Braces that came in today. My Steering response feels back to normal after losing some of it due to the wider wheels. Don't mind the Dirty Bay. DD this thing and haven't washed it in about 3 weeks.

Got the full frontal clear bra and Opti Coat On

Hey all - I had a full front clear bra and an Opti Coat put on by Concours Auto Salon on New Year's Eve. They did some fantastic work for me and I would highly recommend them for Opti Coat, clear bra, minor dents, and detailing. ROn over there runs a great shop and they really show that they are car enthusiasts that really care about cars. I really figured I needed the clear bra - the amount of rocks and pebbles that get sprayed on the highways around here in crazy - I guess due to the quarries and all the constructions. My Mazda 6 front end looks like someone shot it with a shotgun - and I just can't let that happen to my FRS!

I need to get some pics up when the light is good, but this weather is killing me!
Here is an ok one snapped before the work at Councours ( https://www.facebook.com/concoursautosalon ) and one after in my garage:

Is the bra on the whole front of the car, full fenders and all? if so how much was it? My guy who works with them says it would run around 1100, def thinking about it.

Anyway, if you see a girl in a SWP BRZ in the Boerne/NW SA area, it's probably me!
Welcome! and ... good car/color choice!!!

Or an Olive drab (like Casmos' car)

I chose asphalt when I registered for the Scion "First 86" promo. Almost went that direction on the BRZ but, after two black cars decided to go completely opposite!! DGM/asphalt definitely looks nice in the sunlight!!!

Nice! I've heard good things about them before. What did it set you back on the clear bra and opti-coat? I'm in need of the clear bra as well...already have a serious rock mark on the roof I need touched up! Dang rocks!

So I learned something the past few days, I have my 93 tune in my #1 slot and my factory one in my #2 spot, I switched to my factory tune when I filled up recently and ever since when i turn the car on its on the factory tune still. I was under the impression that everytime you restart the car, it would go back to the default tune, which is the tune always in the #1 slot. So those of you getting tunes, just an FYI for ya.

So whatever tune you set that is the tune it runs until you switch again?

Its supposed to revert back to the #1 slot. Thats pretty strange if its not doing that, but good if it is able to remember what tune you were running before you shut off.

As far as I can tell, thats what its doing, i can tell its actually in the last one i used as the gas milage is better than my 93 tune.

This is what i was told as well, so I assumed that was the case, so everytime i turned my car on, before i started it, just turned in on, checked my tune and it was still in the same one it was in before i turned off the car. Gonna try it overnight and see if it resets after some time.

I called them and they told me $1000 for the full front (bumper, hood, and fenders). A little much for me, but they are opticoating my car on Monday for $250!
