Velox LCA's on (Yey installing Solo in my parking space..)

Heading all the way down to Gifu tomorrow via Nagano tomorrow to see friends, decided i'd clean the car properly today.

Note: WHITE WHEELS ARE A PAIN TO CLEAN!!





I decided to remove the rubber spray coated nose and Mishimoto decals, as I am going to be putting on lip soon!
Oh, finally got around to installing the black fender garnishes that I bought!, i see a lot of people having trouble getting them off, was pretty easy for me, just open the bonnet, push out the clips closest to the front of the car and the rest you can pop out with your hand without damaging the paint!

Pulled up at a service area for a bite to eat a little before Nagano, along side this pimped out 86, canards, gauges, carbon bonnet, endless calipers, nice wheels, custom steering wheel and handbrake, likely FI due to the.boost gauge on it, stopped inside for some lunch, come out to see a heap of people stood around them taking pictures of the two parked together.

Felt both embarrassed and pridefull to shuffle past the group, get in and drive off.

Oh, what service area?

Why, me of course.

I love this freaking car, but now I need to go get it washed again, 600km on snow ridden roads has left a white haze over every inch of the car from snowy debris and road dust, on the upside i guess I get to watch the girls at the car wash place giggle over my window decals again.

I had been toying with the idea of buying a used brz bumper and a bumper from another car and merging the two for a fully custom front, and just toying with the idea of an aftermarket bumper in general, a TRD trim piece or splitters, basically I'm just bad at decision making, haha

Will likely do something with the nose soon
