I use base coat/clear coat. You clean everything good and remove all wax from the area. get an artist brush and carefully touch up where the dings are. From there use 400 grit sand paper and sand and touch up until the chips are filled and everything is smooth. Then use a artist air brush to spay the clear over where you sanded. After the clear has cured you polish it back out and reapply wax. |

Thank you! Just several more. Had to chase daylight by the time I got back home. edit: Just realized that one of my license plate lights are out. I swear all the old bulbs on this thing are slowly blowing out one by one.

Sick looks simple and clean. Nothing like a good 10 spoke wheel. What made you go with the Revel coils? Love the stickers too lol

Finally decided to throw some quick, easy mods on to change the car up. Went for headers, over pipe, cutback, rear lower control arms, camber bolts front and back, coilovers, ecutek tune, rays wheels, front lip, and rear diffuser.

Indeed. I was pretty set on the gramlights 57dr for a while and before that gunmetal RPF1's but then I realized how common they are lol. When I was putting the tires on the guy at the shop was saying that most of the wheels they work with were usually one or the other ![]() Went with the Revels because I got a good deal for them, $925 shipped brand new and it even comes with endlinks. Friend also runs them on his civic si and has good things to say about the coilovers. Was thinking of the Tein Flex A too but the deal on the Tanabe was just really good.

How much does the hydraulic bump stop actually do in daily and spirited driving compared to your ordinary coilover? So far these have been treating me pretty nice on the streets of LA, except for roads that feel like garbage even on a stock setup.

If you are happy with your setup be happy with them. I'm just pointing out less money doesn't equal better deal. I've ridden in a lot of twins with a lot of different setups and on my my second set of aftermarket coilovers myself. The FLA's are pretty nice for the money.

You can get the Flex A’s for $912 with free shipping from Evasive which isn’t too bad of a deal. Revels don’t sound bad though. As long as you’re happy with it |

Drove it a bit. Went to take care of a couple errands and took the long way. Really nice Sunday drive with no traffic. Came up on another white BRZ with an exhaust and an aggressive backfire tune. Got up next to him and gave him a 🤙 and he just took off lol
Honestly, embarrassed to drive it with the fucked up bumper. Eager to get that fixed this week. |

Every day feels like a Sunday drive with this whole Covid-19 thing going on . At least in CA, don't know what's happening in Texas.

Traded out my Cusco gas pedal for the SRP one, and installed an SRP heel plate to protect my $40 eBay floor mats.
