My pictures didn't load....hopefully this works. It still needs one good sanding and buffing (a couple little runs in the corners with the clear). I'm having the whole car detailed this week sometime (remnants of IRMA will delay it).

Here is a before and after of the hood (after is painted black)

Went to the dealer and got all the goodies for an oil change. The bill was $48. After almost two years of 911 ownership, I thought someone had forgotten to type in a "1" at the beginning...

Been daily-driving the BRZ again for a few days now. I'd forgotten how much I love this little car: it's so light, so neutral, and so loose! Smiles for days. So tempted to throw a supercharger on this car, keep the little 225-section tyres, and add a splitter / diffuser (maybe a tasteful wing?). It would be such a little monster with a little more power and no additional grip :3

Loving the new set-up so far! Last picture is stock wheels with just the RCE springs.
Awesome! Post some more pics, especially ones with the OEM wheels. Looks great.

Was able to confirm firsthand that oversteer is a thing, and traction control is also a thing.

The traction control is very invasive on this car

Installed magnaflow cat back to compliment the UEL header. Sounds great, very deep and not as rumbly as my old WRX but you can hear it for sure!

Oops! Had to lol over your supremely cool and subtle report. I sincerely hope Sliding Lab 101 did not result in scrapes or dents. Onward!

Glad someone picked up on that... happened on a corner where I was going entirely too fast after overtaking someone. Legitimate concern I'd go off the side...
