WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 169 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Fixed another damn chip. Seriously this is pissing me off. I bought a 2013 escape. I have taken it on some pretty rough roads and my wife has taken the passenger mirror through a mailbox. After a brief rub down with scratch x it had a pin head size chip in it. Had I hit a mail box in this car the paint likely would have melted away.

I'm considering having someone paint her. This may be the best excuse ever to get her painted an awesome yellow. Im that sick of this paint. I have at least 10 chips and have only owned it a month. That's not acceptable.

Like the Meguiars FRS? Man, that one looked good inside and out. Was so awesome to sit in and just gawk at everything.

Exactly like that. It will have to wait as I want to add some other things first. I'm just sick of these chips. I've never owned a car that had this bad of paint ever. That said I have never owned a car that was this fun.

20mm is correct, you can see from the picture taken right after we rolled off the rack that the rear tires were literally up inside the wheel well before the ride height was adjusted. I have the LCA'S primarily to get to the rear camber target but I have to admit I like the way they look as well.

It's a Seibon FA-Style hood and I'll get some better pics up after I install the UR exhaust and clean it up. Gets a LOT of attention with just the new wheels and hood as most aren't sure what they are looking at.

Spidey, looks sharp man!!!

I'm getting my new Injen Air Intake today and I hope to install it tonight; tomorrow morning at the latest.

I also got a little "FR-S" plate (or plaque) the other day that fits perfectly into that empty square that's right behind the shifter where the on-off buttons for the seat heaters go in the BRZ "Limited" addition. It really looks like it belongs there; as if it was part of the car at purchase.
