With encouragement from @Chen on this thread, I thought I'd put my car up on jack stands in the front and take the stock overpipe off and put the Nameless one one. After taking everything out and trying to put the new one on I came to the realization that my car wasn't high enough in the middle, nor could I make it high enough. Since I couldn't get the thing in ( I talked to Jason at Nameless to see what my options were) I had to put the stock one back one. 2 hours wasted. So tomorrow morning I'm driving up to La Center to visit Nameless and they are going to put it on for me. I guess that's what I get for not waiting to use Darren's lift. At least I won't have to use him this way. This means I should have the overpipe on for the get together tomorrow night.

I unfortunately live on a hill and can only safely jack my car up in the front or back but not both as I would tip over I'm sure if I put it on 4 jack stands!

I'm hoping I can convince them to let me do my diff fluid while it's on the lift and they are doing the exhaust.

Dedication!!! I would offer to help but I won't be in town till at least noon tomorrow. But you would probably already have it done by time I show up! Good luck! I look forward to seeing it. Also. Is nameless the same exhaust nick has?

Tell me about it. I got new vinyl eye lids today to make my BRZ look angrier, end up fucking it up, and heat gun tore up the vinyl while I was stretching it.. Also attempted wrapping my side mirrors with Carbon Fiber wrap I picked up at a local shop for $10, that went much better but was super time consuming and I fucked up cutting the edges out.

The only think I was successfully able to install was the 20% tint for the rear/reflector lights. That was pretty easy..

Soon we will all have similar cars with all the upgrading we are doing. Although I think I'm one of the few that actually bothered with all the suspension bushings. If I don't track or autocross my car someone should slap me, or just sign me up and tell me I'm going. If only I wasn't out of money I could keep upgrading and get nice AP racing brakes, some more cool cosmetic stuff like full alcantara interior, and perhaps a supercharger. Alas, I blew my wad.

Any update on how many and who's attending?

I think about 5 owners and a few non/future-owners. That's my best guess at this point.
