Hit a wolf while doing ~60 mph. Front bumper cover is in need of replacement.

What are my options besides stock? I do not want some huge gaudy designed bumper, but am open to suggestions besides stock/oem.

Put on my snow shoes. Really tight fit with 215/55/17s (not oem wheels)

Also swapped LEDs for dome, license, reverese and trunk

Installed my laminx yellow fog light lens covers... Just a little something to hold off the mod bug while i wait on my JDM exhaust tips to arrive.

Really love the handling of the BRZ in the wet with Sport mode, enough slip to feel fun without letting you get in too much trouble
You should try highway 2, especially before Leavenworth. When i lived there i had a JCW mini and tore that up...although im sure stevens pass is pretty snowed in now...perhaps in the summer!

Yeah thanks, definitely Hwy2 is great and also Hwy20 to Winthrop too, I usually ride those on my motorcycle and look forward to hitting them with my BRZ this spring once the snow thaws

Lucky to live so close to great mountain and twisty roads here.

today a friend and I installed the camber/crash bolts on the front suspension... cranked as much negative camber as we could.

Also removed some underpanels and attempted to install my Berk test pipe/front pipe ... had to abort as the last bolt wouldn't come off. Tomorrow I'm taking it to a muffler shop to see if they can do it.

I put on a new rear license plate frame today! I haven't dynoed it, but I'm pretty sure it adds around 8whp.

Muffler shop got it DONE. Cut the stubborn nut off with a torch and the Berk pipe is now on my car.

Had to put air in my winters yesteday, and today I got the new plates.

I also got "winter" mats from Lloyds, but they really stink so they're airing out in the garage while we're in Michigan for the Holidays.
