Anyone have the balls to plasti-dip the door panel in the inside where it gets marked very easy by going in and out of the car? I'm thinking of doing this.

Where all the marks are on here.

I used close the trunk now by pulling on the license plate. no more fingerprints at least.

I have the same problem with my door... but it's common with a lot of cars, especially in tight parking spaces...

The fact the delivery guy put 200 miles on the car... and the tail lights

I have thought about using clear plasti-dip on it, but haven't actually done it.

These are inexpinsive SPORTS cars.. meaning very firm suspension and plastic parts. If you dont want rattles you can always put a 4 inch lift on the car and add some nice soft springs,dampers,shocks, etc.

do they have clear dip? if they do I'm down to do it and will go buy it when I get paid.

*EDIT* Never mind...it does exist! I might just have to buy it.

And a second thing: When using Bluetooth audio from my cell phone, I can't get the volume to turn up very loud. The volume is set by the phone volume control, and even maxed out the music isn't very loud.

Your have to adjust it before you start playing audio. Like the moment toy change to BTA....

When I am on the highway going around 70-75 MPH, RPM is at 3.5. Is that normal?

aliciafrs6spd · 07-24-2012, 02:39 PM

LOVE LOVE LOVE my new white FRS.

I had an acura tsx before so a few things I miss are Navigation, leather, heated seats, but I am pretty sure BRZ offers that stuff.

I agree the center console thing is cheap looking and I like the racing seats, but they all have this random red spot on them.

Besides that its a pretty zippy car. The automatic has triptronic , but I went for a 6 speed old school

Manual, or auto? Here's what I get at various speeds with cruise control set and (relatively) flat roads.

I was talking about a BRZ Limited with MT.

according to MotorTrend rpm at 60 MPH is 2.7 so I guess 3.5 at 75 is normal.
