I'll take your covers and do the goo gone to clean your stockers.

Why are you getting rid of them?

The covers are not comming off. They were superglued on. If I had used 3m tape there would be a gap between the cover and the mirror. Thus the superglue gives it a cleaner look.

Now if either of you want the mirrors and are willing to trade/pay for the paint my car is going in for paint monday. Let me know.

Just to give you an idea these retail for like $175+ i think.

hahah no im good.

I just figured since the car is going in for paint then they can just paint the mirrors quick too. I can probably get them painted for like 100. @jeffsides @BugeyedWagon. Either of you interested. Your mirrors +100 and call it a deal?

Can't decide between going with white wheels on my red brz, or going with gunmetal wheels and doing carbon fiber mirrors and spoiler...

I like gold but I feel like it's too much on the red, and I don't think it would look good with carbon fiber mirrors/spoiler.

I say white wheels.
Also, carbon mirrors do nothing and useless wings are for penguins.
Keep the car clean and simple.

I think that was me, I saw you in the far left lane but by the time I did you were ahead of me. I was deep in thought while driving so I didn't catch you until you were ahead and well I didn't have the room or time to catch up to wave.

If it were a race car I'd probably do all of that but for an every day street driver, I'm thinking the balancing holes were very small so the degree of original balancing needed was minimal. I'll be installing my aluminum pulley soon. I see it as an easy and cheap alternative to a light weight flywheel.
I had a car with a lightweight flywheel years ago and it did rev a bunch quicker which was nice but the down side was it made clutch engagement difficult. I really had to use a lot of revs to keep the engine from stalling because of the lack of the flywheel effect. Hopefully the pulley will allow it to rev quicker for downshifts without messing up the standing start clutch engagement.
I have run a lot of Lightweight Flywheels and I agree go to low and they are just an annoyance. I have noticed so far we do not have many options so I think I will stick with the Perrin Pully and wait for more options. ACT is nice but frankly I am not willing to pay for that name. Spec, Monster, McLeod and Exedy those are names I personally trust on my Vette and most of my other vehicles before it. I will probably make the same choice here but I really think just a stock clutch and lightweight flywheel will be perfect seeing as our stock is an Exedy.

I hope you had good luck, sorry I was feeling under the weather last night, feel kinda woosy right now... it feels like I am moving while I am sitting still makes focusing hard.

The real difference is the free revving and perceived improved acceleration. For the money, it's a fairly inexpensive mod that provides a noticeable improvement in drivability.
Thanks I think it will be a good mod for the time being.

Thanks I would like to take you up on that offer. What weight did yours end up being 12lbs right? Do you feel its a little much with both or just right? I noticed you mentioned sometimes having issues with shifts. I know that's why I went back to a stock crank pulley on the Vette with the Lightweight Flywheel it was causing me to randomly miss that same shift and for the longest time I thought I was just being an idiot.
I also heard you might have a stock flywheel mind selling it to me?

White on the red looks really good, and people don't do it very often. Like thesleeper said, carbon mirrors and useless wings are just that: useless. If you're building a show car, go for it, if you want a 'go car' then forget it.
