Installed a Mini 0906 Dash Cam, which is a front and rear cam setup at 1080p 30fps
Seems like a nice setup for the price (about $115 of ebay)
Look for the ones that come with a cpl filter, looks like its going to take alot of glare off the windshield. (you rotate the filter till its the clearest)

Had 2 obnoxious dents pushed back out by my smart repair shop.


One on the diver side rear quarter, right on the edge above the wheel house, and one a bit further up on the roof line.


Luckily, both spots were accessible from the inside, so paid 120 bucks total and the car loks like the dents never existed.

Nice, I've been looking for a good PDR in my area to take care of mine but they left a nice scratch right in the dent and it doesn't seem to wash off. I'm not sure if having someone pop it out would make it worse.

Wrapped my passenger side panel, tried to do the stereo trim but I screwed up badly.
Also did the clutch spring removal, definitely helps with shifting. TRD Quick Shift + Clutch Spring Removal = everything got harder to shift when sore.

Took my BRZ to @Elite Performance today to get some new shoes put on (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S), get some camber bolts installed up front for a bit of negative camber, and finally get my APR spats installed.

Threw on a Lathe Werks stainless steel reverse teardrop shift knob. I am amazed how much more enjoyable shifting gears is now, and how effortlessly smooth they shift.

Finally bought mine! Been lusting after one since 2011/2012 when I saw the concept. Haven't driven it much, but really looking forward to using this as a part time daily. 2018 White pearl with pp

Also, did not crash lol

Sorry about posting a link but it is way harder than necessary to upload a photo on here from my phone.
The link doesn't work :\ Maybe a private post or something?
