I've never heard of either of these products before, does anyone know how well they work?

If you get it treated before the 29th, let me know. If not, I'll let YOU know.

Liking the wheels!

Went on a cruise yesterday. It was VERY wet outside with a constant rainfall. Didn't stop me from hanging with the Subaru guys here in Nebraska. Got on some nice curvy country roads. Luckily they were nice to me and stayed on pavement.

Here is a shot by a local up and coming photographer. My fave pic. And no my car is not Silver, its SWP. Also the black dot is a fly on my bumper haha.

Haha yep! Very serious company - The other one in the picture is an M3. It was a group road trip and paced lapping session at Watkins Glen, and there were a lot of cars in front and behind us, including a (very slowly driven) Audi R8 and a less-than-24-hours-old 991-gen Porsche 911 immediately in front of the silver M5. (Fun fact: That M5 has a big-ol' supercharger and a ton of Dinan parts and tuning.)

During the group drive through the countryside, I was right behind the brand new 911 for a majority of the trip (with another 6-8 M cars behind us), and I'm pleased to say that the BRZ can keep up with big boys in the country roads at *ahem* 55 miles per hour. Definitely could use more power, but it isn't totally necessary.

Installed the JPM Coachworks dashboard instrument hood as soon as I got it today. Mathcing Alcantra to the seats with beautiful red stitching that looks perfrect. Also got the console knee pads and the door knee pad & speaker plate. The quality of these products are truly excellent. Starting to look more like a Maserati interior than a Subaru. I love it

Swung by Mach V on my way home from work and they swapped out the dud LED fog light bulb for me. Came home, popped it in, and the fogs look great now!

Picked up my vanity plates

Anyone choose this yet for theirs? I hope I am the first! It took me awhile to come up with something I have not seen yet.
