The Brandmotion Infinity Edge mirror I picked up a few moths ago is 49.95 but has a bigger windshield mount adaptor. The new OEM one looks sweet.

I don't think I have seen another FR-S/BRZ on the road since early Dec

I may have seen @Pbrown but he lives close to me, and there is @Newguyottawa at work with his black BRZ.

I thought only a few, like me, weren't driving them in the winter?

I'm driving mine every day. My car is disgustingly dirty.

I pass a white BRZ every now on then in the morning on Carling. I'm heading west and he's heading east.

Same here, looking forward to spring already and a good polishing job to get that shine back.

2 weeks to go until karting!

I drive mine every day! it is also dirty, but that is mostly the crap weather we keep getting.

also, already posted in the Karting thread, but i have to back out

I was so looking forward to it too...

Well my car is still nice and shiny in the garage. I seen a wrb brz the other day and it was the first twin I've seen in a while. I've been getting reacquainted with my car lately and will hopefully have pics to share later today!

Daily driven and it looks disgusting. Saw another CBS on the side of the road as I drove through Stittsville about a 1/2 hr ago.

Can't wait for the warmer weather to get all the mods installed that have collected in the garage over the last couple months. If only the garage had room for a car...

Mine is looking pretty nasty too. It's been a rough winter so far.

Lotsa washes for me. Got my new shift knob and inlet hose, not worried about the knob but worried about installing the hose wrong!

Just installed Grimmspeed Hoodsturt and Cusco Pedals.

The hoodstruts makes working on the car much easier, the hood is now open at a much higher angle. And the quality is really nice (Solid and heavy) , much better than the oem ones that come in other cars.

Hood struts were literally the first mod ever to my FR-S

So worth the money whatever ones you get
Mine were were just off eBay but they are well made nice mounting brackets and solid feeling too

Well this is what I have been working on the last few days. Most of it turned out really well but some is not as good as I would have liked it.

Enjoy some pics
