GBS BRZ Photoshoot [PIC HEAVY, UPDATED] - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KelvinBRZ · 05-28-2013, 01:51 AM

[Updated] First weekend of owning the car. Decided to bring my DSLR with me, and this is the end result. The car's been a pleasure to drive compared to my '10 Civic Coupe. Already halfway to breaking it in, but it's really hard to keep this thing below 4k RPMs...

Edit 6/17/13: Added more photos at Devereux Lagoon in Santa Barbara with my friend's MB C250 Coupe!

This pic makes me think that puny little GT86 is about to $#!t a brick, because its going to get eaten by your BRZ.

By the way, nice photos.

Nice shots! Did you chrome the fender trim area or replace the old 'vent' with a new one? Or is that just how it looks under the bright CA sun?

It's just the lighting from the sun, I haven't changed anything on the car... YET!

they swindled me the first time, so I left their dealership. 2 weeks later they gave into my offer. I got it below MSRP, total was $27,979, I walked out with $27,000.

I'm surprised those crooks at Sourh Coast Subaru sold it at below MSRP. lol

I love their parts department, but sales is filled with money hungry crooks.

I agree, their sales rep changed the numbers the first time they tried to sell this car to me. LAST MINUTE TOO! RIGHT before the papers were signed.
