Yeah he is. Can tell from the number plate he has (the new layout for our state too). I'm pretty sure that it's the law to have headlight washers on cars that have HIDs from factory

i think it is the law to have headlight washers if your car comes with HIDS...

That's a very strange law. What is the reasoning? Curious as headlight washers don't even exist here...

Can't remember but I think it has to do something with the dirt and dust etc on the headlight lens reflecting the HID light so the washers just clean it off.

Yes but they look like the stock tires and look smaller than the 18s. I would not stretch a tire unless I needed to due to lowered suspension. It could be 18s but they look like 17s to me.

It is the BRZ S model that they sell over here. The pack including the wheels and everything else is fitted when the vehicles arrive. They transfer the tyres over, I believe that wheels are 7.5" wide but the stretch is pretty minimal, not sure if 225's would be too much the other way. Probably Subaru trying to save some cash instead of changing they tyres as well.

It wasn't today but this past weekend I installed a 2.5" non-res Perrin cat-back. It sounds so sweet!
