I got my alignment today, and not much was off.

The front tow was off about 0.1 degrees, rear camber was off 0.2 degrees and tow was not off at all on the rears.

So right now I have a +0.1 tow in the front, rear camber right now is 2.2 and 2.4, these need to be adjusted with whiteline bushings or rear lower arms.

But I have heard rear camber really screwing up with coils, or even lowering springs, seems like it depends on luck, I've heard so many different out comes.

So all in all, mine was not off by much at all, so I might of have gotten lucky!

Dropped my BRZ off at Auto Pro Films this morning for clear bra and tint. Also put 200 miles on the car this weekend. Got dropped off Friday at around Noon, basically been looking for every excuse to drive it since then.

You don't need an excuse. This car is meant to be driven.

OH NOES! I DRILLED A HOLE!

This is what happens when I come in contact with my Grimmspeed License Plate Relocator rod and my Tow Hook door/cover. I measure some things then I get to work. I will update the pics when it is light outside. This is a teaser. And yes I sanded it down after this.

Chased a WRX for a few miles through the country. Did surprisingly well - the WRX didn't get away.

Discovered that my BRZ Limited does in fact have heated mirrors. For some reason I convinced myself that US models did not come with heated mirrors...

I thought that initially as well due to it not having a separate button.

Thanks! I had a few light scratches on the black surround, so this was perfect to cover them. I also found the black part collected dust and dirt very easy. This makes it easy to wipe right off!

Rear Window defrost button for the win! I will be honest, probably the reason I bought the Limited, aside from fog lamps.

Put on my Subaru emblem overlay, Matte black background/SWP Stars.

Tried to put the cheapo overlay on the fog lights for the HID look.. Failed miserably, and decided to get the bulbs off E-bay or somethin..

Snapped a few photos with my friends kick ass camera









and the subaru badges

@BRZPDX, those came out nice! Did you make them yourself or buy them somewhere? @Burrcold, cool idea with the seat heater plate!
