Cool thanks for the feedback!

For bumps/potholes/inclines/driveways all you need to do is not lower it more than 3/4" or 20mm and you'll be golden!

I like'em but when it's raining, my shoe slips more (Nikes). Only complaint.


Quick opinions, what's the best Daily build from the bay that you guys seen? I'm a princess, need my car to make it over bumps and potholes.

It's better just to drag your front bumper and pinch weld over speeds bumps. 😂

The pinch welds will flatten from that or jacks stands so might as well get it over with.

And my car is Panda now. White with a bumper thats black on the bottom

Yep between speed bumps and 50+ wheel/tire changes a year my pinch welds were flat as a pancake! Time to ruin a new car! lol

I dont like black trunks. Black hoods on the other hand. Too bad cf hoods are heavier unless $$$ dry carbon.

I'm the opposite lol. Paint your damn carbon hoods. It's for weight savings not show.

Just lowered the daily (Yaris). I forgot I had to remove the wiper assembly and cowl to gain access to the stupid top nut that also requires a 6mm Allen wrench with a box wrench...argh.

But paint adds weight I like carbon on other people's cars but don't know that I'd do it on my own. I'll stick with my nice subtle Hot Lava. I do really like that Seibon CSL trunk though.

I'd have already ordered it if it wasn't $800.

And also if I bought it, I would want to get a CF hood as well. And fenders, and doors. And roof.

In other news, my 2017 specific tail light gaskets have now shipped. I know several of you have literally been waiting on the edge of your seat for me to get my 2017 tails installed on my 2013 FR-S.

The suspense and anticipation is palpable.

I have close to 55k miles on the FR-S since I was DD'ing it up until the end of Decemebr. I'm close to 24k (yes, you read that right) in the Yaris

So, on the Everyday Driver podcast today they were talking about great driving roads and Mines got a shout out. It's been a while since I watched it but I think that was where they filmed their GT350 and Boss Mustang video. I can't remember any other videos of theirs shot in the Bay area.
