WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 207 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

chanomatik · 07-19-2013, 06:31 PM

Actually I do own a set of Yakima bike mounts to haul two bikes on top of the BRZ. I haven't used them at all because they're at a friend's and he doesn't have the tools to compress the mounts so I can carry it in my car back home. And I never think to bring the tools to do it myself...

Installed Chargespeed knock off side skirts and front lip. Installing these goes much much easier if you pick up 3 packages of 3m 20lb double sided tape and run the tape everywhere.

Installed the new factory "Kicker" Subwoofer w/amp and crossover.

Debadged the Subaru off.. I like it, am thinking the BRZ badge may need to go as well.. Also washed and waxed the car. I am a huge fan of Optimum Car Wax Spray. Took me about 20 minutes to wax the whole car, and this is from the maker of Opti-Coat.

Tomorrow hope to install the rear diffuser. Also need to get rid of that dorky dealer license bracket on the back...

Is that badge just glued on?

Yes. Came off easy and took about 5 minutes. Was able to get most of the glue off with my fingernail. Also helps it has been over 90 degrees lately.

You may want to have some dental floss handy, it is easy to debadge but you want to make sure you don't pry the letters off and damage the paint if you have a stubborn letter.

The tape was used to hold the parts into place. They are secured with screws, bolts, and nuts.

You will need American and Metric sockets/wrench, a philips screw driver, flathead, body push pin removal tool (or gettho it up with just a flat head), a right angle drill, jack, jack stands
