I didn't see the red one, but I watched the two tan ones come in together. Looked like an older husband and wife. I thought that was really cute.

I was under the impression that most cars and coffee gathering were old farts with old tin.

I went to the car show at Green Mesquite.
All Camaros/Challengers. All with LED colored lights and all the stuff that imports get bashed for, yet somehow it's cool on their cars???

Sad part is, I like underglow and colored lights lol.

I dig the first and last ones. First would look great if it could be made small and discreet.

That's a great suggestion. Any drawbacks to doing this?

I know it came up recently in the thread, but any body shop recs in Central-ish Austin (I saw the prior one for Continental). Not for the BRZ, fortunately, but someone ran a red flashing red and hit me while I was in my wife's Sportwagen TDI.

My FRS is at Capital City Collision as we speak, at S. Congress, next to St Edwards. I did *some* research & it seemed the best I could find. I've been over there a few times to check up on it & they seem to do really good work.

None that I can think of, unless better handling (by taking your alignment outside oem specs) is considered a drawback.

Wow, they actually get good Yelp reviews. I'll keep them in mind for a good S. Austin spot.

I ended up having it towed to Quality Auto Body on N. Lamar - quite a bit closer to home/work. They seemed nice and had good reviews, so we'll see how it goes.

Now I get to deal with the other driver's insurance.
