I cut my fenders and put the rocket bunny v1 front flares on, will have the rears put on when I get spacers.

Worked with @JeremyR to install my OEM TRD kouki sideskirts:

I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to paint matches by any means, but I'd have to say the paint is probably about a 95 or better percent match to my body color. Extremely pleased I went for this look.

How much does that rack weigh? Looks pretty hefty to put on the slambert, considering it could have a couple bikes added to it. I still have my slambert sitting in a box in the garage, haven't used it at all yet, but I have a Kuat 2-bike rack that's a bit slimmer than what you have there to pair with it.

This isn't the standard Slambert rack. Shawn is developing a new rack system specifically for this application. He's engineering it to hold 100lbs. Each of those Thule racks weighs 15lbs, so that leaves about 35lbs per bike. Will be testing it more to make sure they can hold it.

The standard Slambert is designed for a 100 lb tongue weight. So... what's the difference here in terms of how it is mounted?

Pretty similar, but instead of a square draw bar, you've got two 1.5" pipes being bolted on, so considerably more torque, and then the shear strength of the end of the pipe.

That having been said, I don't think there will be any issues.

I got it wet. I love the second 2x zoom lens on the newer smartphones. Makes close shots of cars much more natural-looking by eliminating the odd proportions you get when taking the same photo from a closer distance with the main wide-angle lens.

What if the setting is unnatural??

Keeping the Series.Yellow theme intact by tinting the center of the taillights and reverse bar.

Where did you get your tail light tint from? It looks a bit darker than mine

@Stang70Fastback, that BRZ looks sexy. Those HRE wheels are on point.

I ordered a roll of 6mm pinstripe but it's too thin, I had to do a double stripe for the front bumper. I am going to order 12mm and re do it again. For now this is the result:
