Well, I did it!

Let me just write down a few tips here:

• Wear gloves (cheap little latex ones will do)
• Tape up any part of the frame you do not want adhesive on
• Tape up ALL of the exposed alcantara
• USE PAINTERS TAPE (duh)
• Take your time
• Account for over spray! arosal adhesives are CRAZY sticky
• Take your time to press out bubbles and stretch the alcantara properly over the frame

I think it took me about an hour (total) from stripping off the fuzzy glue and then doing this.. there were pauses in between, so the whole project probably took 2 hours. Also, make sure you have good ventilation, my condo stinks now. I doubt my GF is happy about this.

Looks good!

Certainly looks and feels good in here!

[Jlturner]

looks awesome! It makes such a nice improvement to the interior. This is on my to-do list for sure!

If I ordered a knock off TRD style spoiler with my front lip, would anyone be interested in picking it up off of me? I do not know if I even want a spoiler on my car, but I do want a lip.

I could probably arrange to get it painted for a very good price (not for you white cars, I hear that is a BITCH, so maybe just a nice black or something for you folks)

[SkAsphalt]

Just cause

I already have a TRD spoiler . tis the season for people to start buying cars which means more 86s on the roads, I'm suprised I've only seen one fr-s in that blueish colour(Ultramarine?), I thought it looked super nice yet i've seen practically none online or driving around anywhere i've been, I definitely would have been interested in that color if it was present when I bought mine.

I have heard that there might be a second Ultramarine Blue FR-S in Regina but I have yet to see it. There was an automatic one that sat at Taylor Toyota in Regina for many months, probably ~July 2012 to April 2013.

A couple of goodies arrived today from @FT-86 SpeedFactory
I picked up a Blox shift knob and a set of Muteki lug nuts which can only mean one thing... Wheels are also coming soon!

Just as long as my wife doesn't catch wind of everything I've bought and done to my BRZ in the last couple of years. Yes I'm living a lie

Did I ever tell you story behind my BRZ ? It sat in my garage for 6 months before I had the balls to tell my wife I had bought a new car
