As noted above for someone else, I too have heard that textured plastic surfaces won't hold vinyl. I really want to do what you have done.

Do you know how they prepared it, or any tips I can give to the shop here to convince them that it will work?

Would really appreciate your advice.

(Thx,this is my first post here)

Sorry for the late response. I have been super busy with various jobs and work. The mustache is holding up just fine. definitely where its textured theres no problem. Where i saw lifting was more at the 90 degree angles right before where the mustache meets the paint. This is solved easily with a knife and popping any bubbles. other than that i love my mustache and people notice a difference in the look! I say go for it. Its just a regular gloss black 3M vinyl it is NOT matte or carbon fiber textured.

I need your opinion guys. I'm ready to pull the trigger on some coilovers and 18x9.5 gram light 57xtremes. But should I go with semi gloss black OR winning blue!? It's a lot of money and I don't know of the blue is too much blue...but I like being different.

I'm likin' the black roof. Did you have to remove the antenna? or did you just work your way around it?

I'm not a ban of blacked out tail lights (brake light visibility etc etc), but you sir have done it right. I like.

Jeff you have an amazing set up bro, it looks really nice. I always wanted to wrap my roof and the mustache high gloss, but I didn't think it could be done. Thank you for posting.

I would go gloss 57s, just because you already have that theme going on. Ironically we have the almost the same taste, pretty cool. I am also considering the same rims, Wedssport or the 57extremes. Not the easiest decision, since these are pretty nice too http://wedssport.jp/images/wheel_xl_ws_sa15r_1.jpg

what about White TE37 SL?
WRB with white rims it's a nice combination

(i think those are similar Rotas)

or maybe you can go with some XXR gold ones...

Guys I have already put my deposit on rays Gramlight xtremes 18x9.5 square setup semi gloss black. I will upgrade LCA, coilovers, and sway bars. I do like the white and gold though and as the car changes maybe eventually I'll switch it up later.

What are your guys thoughts on the Perrin catback resonated vs nonresonated going to pull the trigger on that soon.

[Jeffboyarrdee]

Its been a while since an update. Also this one was a big one for me so it took me a while to pull the trigger. But I fitted the BRZ with new shoes:
18x9.4 square setup Rays Gramlight 57Xtremes Semigloss Black
Meaty 255/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
Cusco Lower Control Arms
Tein Street Flex Coilovers

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I just wanted to post this update or ill never get to it. Ill eventually need to take an actual photo shoot soon. I was looking into other colors but this matches the theme of the car best right now i feel. Plus ive always liked the Xtremes. So far Camber is F:-2 R:-3. The ride is more comfortable, the tires are definitely grippy, the car feels heavier but nothing crazy. Im liking it a lot so far. So far no rubbing issues...only DD so far. Next I will be upgrading my sway bars and brake pads.
