Got me in right away, and got it done as soon as possible. They never disappoint there!

If you do get a clear bra, get it done there. Never had a single problem after they installed it on my tC. Now when I got the FR-S, I made a bad decision and originally got my clear bra done by the dealership. All but the clear bra on the fenders had to be replaced, including the mirrors. They hooked me up with a shop in Minnetonka that replaced it last week, and so far so good. But I would have just gone to Bravo if I would have known how bad of a job Toyota would do!
Thanks again for recommending Bravo. Took my car in today and had tint and 3M Ventureshield installed. They were really nice guys and very prompt (in and out in an hour). Work looks very solid, and you cannot see the clear bra unless you get really close. The funny thing is that these guys do the tint and clear bra for Morries where I bought the car, and I cannot believe how much I saved going directly to them vs using the dealership. I was very happy with their pricing.

I went with 50% on the side windows and 35% for the rear window. The cops can only check the tint on the side windows and and I wanted to stay legal.

Next mod will be the antenna (2.4" already ordered from Ebay). Might try and make it to Rice Killer this Monday, hopefully some of you all will be there. I have been traveling lots lately....

So is anyone else seriously curious about this electric supercharger?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39719

I've figured out most of the parts they're using and I'm seriously considering building my own just to see how it works.

Had my oil change done at Morries today and now my car is rolling with the new blue oil filter for our car and it was for FREE, also had my wheels balanced and rotated at my workplace for FREE. win win, feeling happy today.

I will post up pictures and make comparisons for those of you who are curious. The new filter is skinnier and a bit taller compared to the original one.

EDIT: As promised here are the picture comparisons

I bought a different set of lug nuts and will be selling my current ones. They're Muteki SR48 extended in black. They're for aftermarket wheels but the OEM wheels have a tapered design as well and should work with these lugs.

Price: $40

Its very interesting, but I still don't like the "only works at WOT" thing. I might as well go nitrous. I will most likely end up going with the Innovate kit. That seems to be exactly what I want out of this car. I like having good torque at half throttle as much as I do full throttle you know? But its been very fun to watch the progress of this electic kit...

I'm with you on this one. I've been trying to round up money for the Innovate kit the last couple weeks. Would like to have everything I need for the install by Winter. Meaning full exhaust/Header/Intake as well so I can go through the tuning once.

I would love to help you with the install. That way it should be easy when I do mine

If I build my own its going to have to activate befor WOT. I'll either tap into the throttle position sensor, get the unichip tuner software so I can have that signal the electric motor to kick in.

Yeah it sucks but so far the only side effect is that it makes me tired. I still haven't been to RK. So hopefully by next week I'll have adjusted and be up for going.

Is it helping the stuff it's supposed to help though?
