Also, if you guys haven't figured out yet. My car's name is Vesper. Named after Vesper Lynd out of Casino Royale.

I'm a giant bond fan. I'm hoping to get a plate that says "ODDJOB" for my WRX.

It's really hard to describe but your car looks very aggressive but at the same time elegant and subtle. I think the STI badge on the bumper was a very classy touch.

When I saw this kit I thought "how can I use this and not make it look overly ricer?" So I tried to get all the tight pieces together to do this. My idea was to make a very agressive, yet stay true to the BRZ's original design. Which I think has worked out incredibly well and you described it exactly how I wanted it to look. Which is great, because it means I did it right.

How about the fender fasteners? Was it you that was complaining about how terrible the original rivets looked? What did you do instead?

You have me confused with somebody else. I love the look of the rivets. Granted, blended in would have been the coolest way, it would have cost waaaaaay too much.

UPDATE! Good news from forgestar! Wheels are shipping out and will be here next week! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
