Went out and did some sliding in the snow to try out the Blizzaks. A huge parking lot - things to hit + the FR-S on snow tires = lots of fun At least until being sick caught up with me. Can't believe it's snowing in Tooele again...

Installed Beatsonic Shark antennae and Whiteline sway bars and subframe bushings. Also, finally put the Arqray exhaust on with Cusco exhaust hangers.

Mine is a prototype, and therefore doesn't attach. The final ones will be riveted in place at the bottom corners. At the time, we didn't have rivets long enough (OEM floor mats are thick) or backing washers that were the correct size. Mine is just resting there right now with anti-skid on the bottom to keep it from sliding around.

The first batch of these is already spoken for, so when they are manufactured and installed, I'm sure we'll pin down the attachment method and more pictures will be floating around. The guys locally will have theirs riveted in place, the ones I ship out I can include the rivets and washers, but I obviously won't be able to secure it in place personally, that would be up to the purchaser.

Why don't you just use bolts and nuts? It only seems like the best, most obvious option, logically at least.

I probably will on mine, but rivets look better and are smoother, so you don't catch your shoes on them.

I see your point there. Truss head or panhead screws would be the lowest profile machine screws.

Yeah, I'm gonna look at hardware options this week, have to keep the corrosion issue in mind too, stainless steel hardware and aluminum plate MIGHT cause some issues, but I'm gonna test it first before I ship them.
