But fucking hell since I've done that my bumper is suffering from the sagging issue ((((((((( be careful of almost certain damages to clips once bumper is removed ...

The inner fender clips are delicate and getting the larger ones on the bottom out can be a struggle too. My problem with taking the bumper off is the fender marker lights I am afraid of braking them every time.
I see a few more times I'll require to remove my bumper too

I'll read up on the Hella mounting solutions, I should be be able to come up with a bracket or something so they can both be mounted up front and visible

Oh hell don't even get me started on the devil made marker lights. Removing them wasnt using a technique but simply sticking a screwdriver, pushing and swearing ... and if you come up with a bracket, let me know and I might buy you one !

I really want to do the snorkel mod (i have for a while since it was mentioned in the OFT threads) but you guys are making me scared to take the bumper off!

I thought that it was possible to do the snorkel mod without taking the bumper off but it was a PITA to do.

So, it looks like you get to choose your pain.

Bah I have taken the bumper off 2 times now and everything still sits fine. I think the first issue is going to be the fitment by the fenders but still doing good for me

Fitment at headlight/fender is the only real know issue. There seems to be an updated version of the bumper clips, but the problem unfortunately comes back over time

Not me! I have a lovely day job...

Saw a white BRZ coming out of south Kanata again! Finally got the license plate of "Meta 086"

Vlad detailed my car inside and out yesterday, did an awesome job!

How so? It's bolted in from behind the bumper.
Unless you pried the top up and wedged a hand & wrench in there?

Hi Guys,
Just a reminder we are online tonight from 8pm to 10pm.

We are doing a 50-lap enduro race with shifterkarts at Autumn Ring Mini, starts around 9pm.

Please note: I'll be moving the GT6 nights to Sundays starting on May 4th, so tonight is the last Wednesday night session. It's getting tough to be available to host during the week due to work travel.

I will continue to host as long as there is still interest in doing so.

When are you expecting your OFT to come in Andre? Probably ordering mine early next week. Buddy club tails are currently sitting in Los Angeles. Hope to have them by the weekend.

Placed the order last Wednesday, got USPS shipping info Friday night.

Looks like it is still at USPS sorting in L.A. as we speak, so probably only next week sometime.

The header, well let's hope I get it by June.
