and yes, I had to tap into the blinker wire on the headlight harness.

fteightysix has a video on youtube on how to install these sidemarkers. first half of the video is for the frs, second half of the video is for the brz.
Where can I get the sticker?

I'll need some protective gear along with it when my lady sees it

Changed the transmission fluid to Motul 300. Held up well at the track. I have to say after some track events and 16,000 miles of driving, the fluid didn't seem too bad, and the dragnet didn't have too much debris on it, but I'm not too experienced.

I also installed SPC Camber bolts. I could only get -1 out of the right wheel and -1.5 out of the left. I bought a 5 year alignment from a certain franchise. A small Italian mechanic and I basically aligned the car together. He went in the back and got two smaller diameter bolts to put through the top holes and got it to -2.5 in the front. I'm maxed at -1 in the rear. The turn in is drastically improved and the car seems a tad looser now on corner exit. Tire wear is also better.

You do your fair share of SEO and you learn how to search for anything. "two loves brz decal" is what I googled.

Well, Search Engine optimization would teach you to use google like a pro. I'm no pro and thank you for finding that for me!

So shiny!

Is that a Bayson R side skirt? If so, have you noticed any warping because of the material?

Lots of time to kill while waiting for the coats to dry. Playing around with the spray paint.

Would love to see the finished product, painted my lip about a year ago with flat black and some sanding but no primer or clear coat so it seems like it's not withstanding and fading a bit. Planning to redo it this summer this time the proper way so it'll last more than just a year.

Yes it is. I do notice some warping, mostly where the screws/bolts were installed onto the car. It almost looks ike the material bulges out where the hardware is. In person I cant tell, but in pics you notice the warping.

Wow.
Blatant disregard for the truth.

Today, I splattered a large portion of the front of my BRZ with bug innards. I think they work like golf ball dimples, lowering drag coefficient... From the far northern tip of lower MI back to Chicago.

Will have to try to give the car a bath before I go racing Sunday (and probably splatter the front with bugs all over again...)
