Manufacturers always charge extra for body-colored mirrors. Painting them back to black for the sake of modding is ... whatever just a personal choice. Actually, looks good! But it is funny too.

Took my dad out for a drive in Coal Creek Canyon today. He's a believer now - he actually prefers it to his brand-new Audi TT-S!

I was prepped to buy a Hellcat tomorrow (trading in the BRZ), but I think I've changed my mind. This is a fun little car...

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?



Took the letters off. I really like how it looks this way.

Oh and 2.5" Perrin catback too.

Been considering this. How much scrubbing and goo gone did it require?

I'm not entirely convinced I did it right. Took a blowdryer to each side for about two or three minutes, then took some floss to the lettering. If the adhesive is still warm, you can actually pick it off with your nails and to me that's a LOT cleaner ultimately than using goo gone. If the adhesive cools down, just reapply blow dryer to it to soften it back up again, and to me it felt like I got better results than using goo gone on the remainder to the point where I ended up spreading the adhesive a bit.

Maybe I used the goo gone incorrectly, though. That's also a definite possibility.
