WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 548 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just painted the OEM rear tail lights red. It looks really good especially with the WRB and red contrast combination.

The guy did not want to do the windshield strip because of the dot matrix up there though. He said it would look too white at the top against dark 5%.

I think the only solution for that is to use black vinyl, then butt the tint up against that.

Did you get the 3M Watermarks? :O

Couple days ago but installed a replica OE style rear diffuser.
Thanks to @Advan-Emotion!

Yeah, personally I don't like the white showing through anywhere. If you are happy with it then cool but a good tint job should not show any white, which is why I was asking.

DEPO Fogs w/6K HIDS

enwave · 05-01-2014, 04:44 PM

Had a bit of jealousy when I tagged along in a friend's track prepped S2000. Giant turbo -- spooled at around 5k RPM.

That thing hauled. But then took him for a drive in the BRZ and he couldn't help but love the consistency and ability to actually use the power we have.

We both fell in love with each other's cars, for different reasons. The grass always seems greener, when really it's just a different color green I think.

There isn't a single leaf on the trees. Better bring on spring first.

I don't think so, at least I hope not

gotcha

I thought it was a given on a standard cheap tint ($200)

Thanks! I wasn't aware those were Depo fogs. Hmmm... I'm not a fan of glass fog lights. Too much rock and gravel that'll beat on them and cause them to crack. I know from experience.

I'm considering either these:

Or these:

Most like the projector ones since I know for a fact they're plastic housings. The halo ring ones, I'm not sure about. Plus I want to hook up yellow HIDs and I think the projector ones would be better.

Let my friend drive my car today, and of course, he stalls it. But not an ordinary stall, he stalls it right into a little grass/dirt patch above the curb where I had parked. Had all of my engine lights and etc light up, then backed it up, removed some underlying mulch handing from the lip, and everything seemed fine. I'm still feeling paranoid and hate myself for letting anyone else drive my car. No scratches or damage it seems, but don't know how to be sure without having to spend money on getting it to a shop/dealer. Sucks..
