Good riddance of chrome, they look very good!

A suggestion: I would move the brake lights to previously signal lights using red leds ... well, on a second thought, I think it would be illegal without red cover.

Good choice. Have them on my FR-S as well.

So I'm in the middle of reinstalling the brake caliper bracket but I keep noticing that the rotor is rubbing up against the inside of the bracket. I doubt that's normal so I figure I'm doing something wrong, but the bolts seem to be going in correctly. I'm not about to drive the car with the rotors rubbing up against the bracket; anything I'm doing wrong here?

Not terribly exciting, but I got an 86 mat for the trunk. My FR-S only had Weathertechs when I bought it, no factory mats, and I prefer carpet under my feet to plastic. I added 86 floor mats a year or so ago, so now the trunk mat.

Hopefully I can get the edges flattened and the whole thing in general flattens out from being rolled up.

One of the best kept secrets of the Hakone is a really nice extra heavy duty trunk mat with a sharp embossed logo. Don't know if they are available from parts without a VIN or if they would cost the GDP of a small country but for anybody looking for one they are very very nice.

D'oh.

Very nice!

I know this one (link below) but I would prefer your Hakone version for the pattern and red logo. Very nice

Can you toss us a part number?

Which bracket or kit are you using?

I am familiar with those. The Hakone one is far far heavier (about 4 times as thick) and in a totally different quality league. The logo is more of an orangish tan.

Will see if I can hunt one down.

And of course, NOW I also see the cargo liner mat that was/is? available in Canada. PU550-18151-01

Not sure if it ships to the US or not. Guess that's what I get for making a somewhat impulse buy (I was actually order the TRD exhaust gasket/hardware and some other bolts and filters) and not looking for full options. Oh well...it'll do.

Are you trying to install it to the outboard side of the mount? That's the only thing that I can think of.
