You don't take off the badges. The plastidip is a rubber so you literally just pull off the overspray in one big chunk.

Hey everyone! New Az BRZ owner here. I met Jeff and Chris last night at the Pavs and told me to hop on here, so here I am lol

Little about myself. Name's Christian, I do desktop support for an Elementary school district and I'm am a hardcore automotive enthusiast. My current rides are a 77' 280Z and the BRZ.

I have a huge thread on the Z if anyone is interested about it - http://desertdatsuns.freeforums.org/...down-t595.html

Now about the BRZ. I've only had the car for 3.5 days now and I absolutely love it! Coming from an 06' GTO, the BRZ is a better car in every way imaginable! I love the handling, though I find the stock tire size of 215 to be really weak. A car like this needs wider tires to take the full advantage of the chassis and suspension. Other than that I find the BRZ to be perfect. These cars are just awesome!

I hope to make new friends here and to get some good advice

Here are some pics of the ride, I hope to add more later today -

Welcome to the club. Cookies are in the back, the punch has been spiked, meetings are every fifth thursday.

On a totally unrelated note, and this is not to knock anyone's car choice, but the more I see the BRZ's, the more I fall in love with the front end of the FRS. Just something about the subaru bar-grille thing doesn't do it for me. I'm glad the Scion got the more aggressive looking front. I would kill for the TRD/OEM fogs though.

Looks good. Several people have done that and it's a nice touch. I wonder how it would look if the rippled parts on both sides of the connecting rods were also colored in??

Think those areas would be better as a dark grey to look like shadows
