Ya these are different from the other clips all over the car...they don't have a center that pops out. It seems they were designed never to be removed.

Damn, that stinks. lol. I'm currently on the group buy for TiC Steering Rack Bushing. Maybe I'll install that at the same time if I get it by then. Also, I still have to install my Perrin Lightweight Pulley. This weather is not permitting. lol

That'd be great. We can potentially do it at my friend's house (the one that came to the last meet with me). Or maybe we can get another ft86club member that lives close to me to donate some driveway space....

AHEM

Lol yes we might need those. Especially if my panel popper tool isn't helpful. Seriously if it weren't for those PITA clips (8-10?), the hardest part of the install would be raising the car and opening the plastic bags of new clips.

He had a little half-assed help haha. If Phaedrus can't make it, we should still be good. Will need badass pliers though...

I'm happy to help out and offer up some tools and driveway space, although it is covered in snow right now. We could also use the garage for one or two at a time.

I'm from South West but I drive down South Phiily and Chinatown a lot, but only seen dark blue, silver, and once a white one.... All FRS. I was driving so didn't see the plate or anything.

There is a red FRS in SW now, but belongs to a mechanic from another shop.

WRB BRZ I've seen 3 times at airport.
