WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1194 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TRD Quickshifter, took me 4h15m cuz I don't have the right tools, fat fingers, and exhausted. The last step lowering the car, I was so exhausted I accidentally put the floor jack at the wrong point...and realized it 2 mins after I cleaned everything up and the car on the ground. FML.

Installed Bayson R ground effects (Front lip, side skirts, and rear corners)
Did not have to paint them, they look great as they arrived.
Pleased with how it turned out, really transforms the car.

Looks good, do you have a rear shot of the rear bumper spats?

I'm interested if you did any preparation to the sideskirts to make them stick well. I have the same kit, and I've fought with my sideskirts for a good year now. They always seem to back off the car a little bit.

I have one small area that has backed off slightly, I am hoping they dont do it much more.
I would suggest a couple things.
One, just one layer of 3M tape is not thick enough, the rubber trim that you stick on the edge of the skirt holds it out some.
I doubled layered the 3M tape to make it thicker, before I did this, it barely contacted the car at all. (you will have to buy extra tape)
Second, 3M makes little cleaning pads called Adhesion Promoter. They are not cheap, but they do seem to make a difference.
My buddy brought me a couple, I applied them to the car side. (already had the 3M tape stuck on the skirts before he got here)

Updated my dashcam firmware.

(technically yesterday)...

I added an Axxis Reverse Camera using the factory mounting point and a custom harness from AutoHarnessHouse.

In the process, I ripped up the factory wiring loom grommet a bit and will be replacing it with a new one soon. Anyone know the part number, by chance?

Yesterday I found a new dent on her. What the hell is wrong with people?

That sucks! Unfortunately, most people don't give a rats ass about their own car...let alone ours, but the one's that do are parked at the far end of the lot with me.

I took a 200 mile trip to Albuquerque. I was going 80MPH when a tumbleweed about the size of 2 basketballs rolled across the freeway, I couldn't swerve to avoid it and smashed it with the front right side of my car. The tumbleweed bounced off against my windshield and over the car and a part of it got stuck to the front grill. Luckily, no noticiable damage to the car except a few minor scratches on the front lip.

I tried the double layer method, but the tape didn't want to stick to itself after some time, and backed off even worse than just the tape by itself. I haven't tried the adhesion promoter though. I skipped that the last time I reapplied them. I'll order them the next time I'm annoyed enough, haha. Thanks.
