No worries from me!

I'll just mention it again... The Xpel paint protection guys in Austin are excellent both in the quality of their work (as other atx86ers have seen on my car) and even more so in customer service. They can work out a package to fit your price range as you pick which pieces to protect and if you want it wrapped around the edges or cut to the edge. They took full 3d models of my car and are now very familiar with the platform due to my install.

Please tell them the matte white brz in Austin sent you so they can know their excellent service to me paid off

PM me if you want their direct email/phone. I had issues with the xpel website not forwarding my communication correctly to the Austin office.

I'm down for a meet, also on a complete ... how long did it take you to do the blackout in your headlights from removal from the car to reinstalled?

Another question for the Austin community, is there a place where I can buy Motul oils locally? I have some Motul Gear 300 in my garage, but only enough to do the rear diff; I would like to also do the transmission at the same time.

I actually didnt a lot of the work to black out my headlight housings. My car was in an accident and the body shop that did the repairs gave me the head lights off the car while they had it apart for repairs. I baked them in the oven and pulled them apart painted the with regualr rustoleum gloss black spray paint let them cure for around 3 days then baked them back together in the oven put re sealed them and have had no moisture issues (turn signal housings are a diff story going to reseal them this weekend) but yeah then gave them back to the body shop and they did the re install.

this is 3-5 hours max. obviously including retrofit. if you need help or aren't confident in doing it I can help. you don't need to use an oven either, contrary to popular belief

If @MysteryMachine doesn't want it, I'll take it to see if I like it on mine.

It depends on your wheel and tire size and offset mostly I think (I'm not an experienced expert by any stretch though). You will gain some negative camber in the front (the good kind if it isn't too much) and the rear will not change at all unless you do other suspension modifications. You will need to get an alignment once your springs have settled, but you will not NEED camber bolts.
