Finally got an SD card so I could change my start-up screen. I found a really cool rendering of Artemis, the Greek goddess I named my car after:
 My tires and the rest of the wheels came in; springs arrived today and should go on sometime this week:   And I finally found time to install my diffuser:

For some reason I cannot PM you. Can you share with me the contact you used to get your Prodrive rims? I am loving them!
I also need to install my rear diffuser. It has been sitting in my garage for over a week now.. Your pics are inspirational  I like how it turned out.

Springs/wheels/tires are slated to go on today/tomorrow; I sold my BMW so I'm now on the hunt for a set of 2008+ STi Brembo calipers!

From the other side of the parking lot, it looked like I was gonna hafta kill someone:
 Thankfully it wasn't touching, so there were no murders following. These came in:  So it was time to do this:  To give you perspective on the amount the ride height has changed, there's conveniently a GBS BRZ at my dealership. Stock:  With Eibach Sportline:

Good and bad news this week!
The good: pics of wheels installed! I am absolutely in love with my car now that it looks like this  It was an awful lot of money to spend on wheels and tires, but well worth the result! Once more, they are Prodrive Japan GC-012L 18x8.5 +45 front, 18x9.5 +45 rear, with Bridgestone RE-11 tires 225/40R18 front, 255/35R18 rear. Presumably the only set in the United States! (that means good luck stealing them 'cause I'll find you and kill you, shitbags!)

Now the bad news: I got scammed out of $800 thanks to the infamous scammer Jason Castellano. Beware this a**hole if you post a WTB thread on any automotive forum!!! He prays on WTB threads, claiming to have rare parts, and gives BS excuses about why he can't take Paypal, leaving you to pay with a Western Union or Moneygram. All I had to do was Google him real quick, but noooo, I'm too trusting! No Brembo STi calipers for me; not this month anyway

A friend of mine took a few long exposure shots of my car the other night; I'm waiting for another friend of mine to do a professional shoot. I have an appointment to get my windows tinted 35% all around next week!
Pics:    Updated first post with current pics!
