Anyone know of any BRZ headlights for sale? I picked up chrome Winjets but after installing the Toms tails, the Winjets aren't doing if for me.

Also, I have a set of chrome Winjet lights for sale

Never installed them. I didn't get it with the HID kit as I was going to retrofit different projectors in anyway.

The headlights themselves are actually pretty nice. I'd keep them if I didn't have the Toms tails, but I love the tails more.

anyone know of a good place to get vinyl wrapping done for the roof of the car? I got a friend who wants to wrap his Z4 (current gen) in black vinyl wrap. I'm thinking I may get one too so wanted to see if you guys knew any place/anyone that is good in the NOVA area. Open to MD too but Laurel is as far as I will go. Thanks...

I haven't officially listed it since I haven't taken pics yet. It's practically brand new, but the charge piping does have some scratches. I'm in the Richmond area but willing to meet up within a reasonable distance.

You going with a different FI setup now?

I'm actually swapping motors. The kit sounded great though and made 286/216 at the wheels with a stock header at 9-10psi on 93.

D&L Tinting has 2 locations in the Baltimore area and I believe they do wrap.

I got my clear bra with them and they do good work. But, when I called them about wrapping my roof, they wanted $545 to do it. I bought the same vinyl that they were going to use (3M 1080 gloss black) from Auto Vinyl Solutions for $60 and did it myself with a friend.

I could have screwed it up majorly and restarted it 9 times before it would have touched their price.

oh ok. are the projector housings in there set up for HID or are they just halogen projector lenses? the site i was looking at sold bi-xenon HID bulbs with them and im guessing since you lose the high beam youd need it to have high beams..

Nah, I'm alright.

I will give you a hint though, it's not an LS motor.

I got mine from @fteightysix, they sell a HID kit for them as well. The halogen projector is like a bi-xenon, just without the xenon part. There is a cutoff shield that flips down when you hit the high beams, so you can toss an H7 HID bulb in there and still have functioning high beams. And the stock projector in them has a pretty nice cutoff with HIDs, surprisingly.

So any H7 kit will simply drop in and you'd be golden. If you are interested in them, let me know before I toss them up in the classifieds. I paid $440ish shipped. Theyre brand new, I only took them out for pictures, but I'd like to get $400 for them. They're chrome though, not black. I felt the chrome looked closer to OEM than the all black housings.

I'm telling you, a B13 is a bad idea!
