Yea, it's exactly because it's a white pearl. The paint code for both the BRZ and the GR86 is K1X for white so I'm hopeful it'll clean up and match. I'll attempt to clean it when it's warms up a little and provide further photos.

This looks great! I'm really starting to warm up to the ducktail. Where did you purchase yours? I'm thinking about putting one of these on now instead of the Subaru glossy black spoiler when my car gets here...

Front looks good but the rear looks like it pokes? Any fender work?

Even a regular oil change might not drain all of the oil. And if you know the engine's oil capacity, it's easy to know how much is left.

You could also compare how much you're draining with the conventional method vs. with a pump, provided you work on an AOTBE basis (same draining method before both tests, same quantity of oil put in, same oil temp when changing it, etc.)

I've heard those might not drain all the grime that is at the bottom of the pan, but then again some cars have no drain plug and seem to survive.

Picked mine up today and had the winters put on.

My FRS had headers and a tune and the new car is MUCH more responsive. It's going to be a hoot.

At my height it doesn’t rub one bit even on three wheel motion.
Folks seem to have issues with +35 offsets on the back
+45 seems to be the way for a flush performance oriented stance.

Got Fortune Auto 500's installed on the car by Fortune Auto themselves. I'll post pics soon. Ended up with 7k spring rate in the front and 8k rear. The shocks are six clicks from full soft and the ride is only marginally stiffer than stock but car turns 10x better now.

Got the front to -1.5deg camber and the turn in has been improved 10x. It's very darty and sharp now on turn in. The car feels extremely balanced now with understeer only happening on very cold tires. I still haven't been able to push the limit of the handling but 60mph corners on my favorite backroad have now become 70+, along the way quicker turn in and being able to get on the gas quicker.

Got my Lloyd carpet trunk mat. I ordered the Velourtex in Ebony (962), which has a similar texture to the OE carpet while being more durable. Lloyd also sells a mat that fits on the rear seats when they’re folded down.

One nice bonus is that the heavier backing adds a bit of sound deadening.

This is about as low as I wanted it to go. Still clears every speed bump and my steep driveway.

The back can be lowered all the way to the tire without rubbing and the front can go another 1/2in or so. Fortune Auto 500's. Name:  20220114_181705.jpg
