Tires/Rims are soon, but first things first. Struct tower brace with brake isolator, because of the 1 mm to thing firewall. Cusco makes one and I'll put on TR's 3x pully set. Engine is a bit luggy once you stomp on the gas. Not as 'perky' as I'd like.

I almost had to have them pull a blue one from Portland, but the Lake City (Seattle) scion had two blue on reserve but they grabbed that one and I think they'll send the PDX one to there to replace it.

I couldn't wait 2 weeks.

Yeah, I'm in debt now.
You and I must be identical twins. I'm waiting for my blue FR-S with the TRD Exhaust and the intake as well haha. I got the upgraded head unit, and the spoiler in addition to those.
Plus I get 20% tint all around free from the dealership, so that's a bonus.
Only thing I'm adding after that is Opti-Guard and Xpel Ultimate.
I probably won't be doing any mods until later in the year. I'll probably just get HID/LED upgrades everywhere on the car around Christmas, and just winter tires on steelies and roll that way until next summer.

HI Darren, you can put me down for now in SeaTac.

Its a major B* trying to figure out my tires/rims. I don't need them sticking out to break aero around the car. and I want them center enough to lower 1", preferably slightly less I think.

I still leaning on 245/35R18's and now (was 45) but 42 offset and 3mm spacer on the rear. Depending on rim type so the curvature not look to uneven. I want some rubber around the rim, so 235/35's were and might still have to be lived with. The circumference is the closest with these to the OEM 17" size. Oh, and 8.5 on the width.

Unless I go to a local shop to buy mixed offset and widths, but I don't have to get that extreme either. not that young. Hell I really don't fit in the narrow seat. I can live with it for a while, but how multi-hour drives before that seat isn't wide enough for my not so loveable love-handles... Diet time.

Hey guys,

I'm Paul and I'm Scottish. I married a girl from Louisiana and now find myself in Portland, OR.

I have the SWP BRZ Ltd with the painted mustache and rear diffuser and ran into (figuratively) with BRZPDX yesterday in downtown Portland - your custom exhaust shamed my car. It was a sad day.

I bought the BRZ from EmilGH in NewYork. It's standard apart from the Euro-style indicators, LED reverse lights and the custom paint. I'll be picking up a new exhaust.

Hi Paul. It's early, I need coffee. When I first looked at your pic I thought "wow, that's an ugly lip", heh.

Here's something you might like coming soon:
