Well, I did have to replace a lug nut and stud (cross threaded). I had a nail and had to have one of my MPSS's patched. I often forget to have my tires rotated on time. Cant think of anything else at the moment.

I couldnt pass up the deal the dealership offered on the auto with the Borla exhaust, the spoiler and the LED fogs. It also had the protection Plus pkg and cargo mat. Also got GAP and 5yr extended warranty. All for $27k. Guess its the right time of the year!.

I totally get this. I rented an automatic for two days in Japan, and thought "I would not kick this thing out of my garage."
It really is fun, and now to me the automatic 86 is just as legit as the 6-speed.

Thank you! I had leather seats in my previous three rides and it's never been an issue.
I just installed them. They have totally changed my interior! One more part to receive and I'll post some pics of the whole look.

yea regular oem fenders, I called a nearby dealership, they want 700 for a single fender and I looked at ft86 and unless im blind (possibly am) I only saw aftermarket carbon fibre ones and the VR wide body ones. I found a few ones online for around 290 USD coming to $420 Cad with tax and shipping i just don't know what to expect regarding any duties/additional tax. I will call some shops near me tomorrow

Scrap yards would be an excellent idea. Also I'm a pretty heavy international buyer and I used to sell a lot and I always asked to declare the value of the package as low as possible. Ideally if declared at $20, you don't get charged any duties. With any overseas purchase, always message the seller beforehand

Don't think it is actually "leather" until it is off the horse.

i found a place on kijiji near sauga asking 450 for a painted fender which is not bad all things considered, im going to try fixing it myself with various hammers lol I figured if i mess it up even more its no biggie since im buying a new fender anyway but if I can live with it then i just saved myself a few hundred
