I don't think the 5AD spoiler will cover up the holes left behind by the Limited spoiler. Just FYI, I'd go with either the Stivo, Zeta, or Carsmo.

Yup! As soon as the rain picked up around 9pm I took the BRZ and the GF's car out of the garage and around the block for a free wash! Luckily avoided the hail that came later. Too bad all that rain BARELY affected the pollen count today. It only went down by 200.

200 is still better than it was. Riding my motorcycle the past few days I can see the pollen going around me as I ride. I'm just glad that it doesn't affect me at all.

Yeah, it's nothing even remotely comparable to that. I've got maybe 25~30 dings, only one of which that looks particularly bad. Most of them are only visible from certain angles...

I don't imagine I'll be without my BRZ for long, but it's going to feel long having to drive around in a rental Dodge Avenger. I think I'm just not going to use the rental; I'll just drive my old Solara in the meantime.

At least your rental wasn't a Mazda 2 like mine was. I'd rather shoot myself than ever drive that car again.

All it did was make my car more of a mess with all the pollen. Going to have to wash it tomorrow, would do no good today there is still so much pollen out there.

That hail protector thing looks ridiculous but I'm sure it works.

I bet the people next to you would fucking hate you for that thing. All it would do is bounce the hail onto their cars.

Just saw a Firestorm turning onto Old Alabama Road while I was heading down 141 in my company car. Makes me a little sad that I won't have a BRZ to hop into after work...

Just registered to run my first SCCA Autocross (previous 3 were with the Porsche Club) with @dwx this Sunday at Turner Field! You can still register here before midnight tonight without incurring late fees! Only $45 for non SCCA members. I'm running in STX class.

@Ahernandez0909, you should register in C-Stock, already two other BRZ's in there! I'm going to keep trying to talk you into it if you resist!
