c) you chose what some may argue to be the best wheels on the BRZ
d) you chose that deliciously-tasteful STi-Replica front-lip spoiler

and finally my best compliment: FLOW. The car just has a certain flow that only well-made and tastefully modified cars have. BRAVO. this is precisely how i would make a BRZ if i had one!

Thanks for the compliments Miguel. You pinpointed some of my exact thoughts as I was looking at modifications and vehicle selection.

Id say the Kendas are above Nexen, Achilles, etc... more comparable to Dunlop DZ101s. Been using Kendas for over a year and its a great choice for street driving or drifting.

Hey bro just curious is that the TRD deck lid?

I was thinking of doing the same deck lid but wasn't to sure if they use the same holes as the limited wing.

It's by Five Axis.

@Koru, car looks great! I'm really loving the color, stance, and how tastefully modded it is. Quick question, though, who is XXR and where are they from? Never heard of the company before and their site doesn't really have much in the way of information.

The ride on the KW's are excellent. Very close to stock, I dont think I can ask for anything better out of a coilover. And I consider myself to be very picky.
