Actually picked it up Saturday, but just uploaded pics today. Got clear bra for the whole nose of the car, Opti-Coat for the rest and one heck of a good detailing job at Driven Perfection Cost quite a bit but was well worth it; the results speak for themselves! Well, technically I didn't actually do anything to it myself, other than shelling out mad loot for the work done. Any further detailing will be done by me; I just wanted the first one done by the pros!

^ That Optiguard and clear bra are ace. They did a great job!


Since I can't find a place to do Optiguard just yet, here's my little project for the day. Debadging/rebadging. That's an '04 STI Subaru logo I stuck on. There's a divot there that was under the Seven Sisters badge that I have to figure out what to do with, but the B and A covered the peg holes nicely.

Picked up my BRZ from @Greg Gellas and Lee Berbs late last night. If you're in the NJ area and need your paint worked on, these guys were wonderful to deal with! My car looks better than it ever has.

Hoping to grab some outdoor pictures of their work today if it stops raining!

Heh, I hit 5,000mi last night. I've owned it for 49 days.

I'll be out of a warranty in one year.

You read my mind. I was supposed to pick mine up yesterday but due to shipping delays it won't be here until the 24th. Dare I ask how much you paid to have all that done? I'm looking at $450 for my Opti-Coat and Opti-Glass plus another $900 for Xpel PPF on the leading edges and a full tint.

That's about what I paid; you're right on the money :-)

got my front strut tower brace from Whiteline today. I wasted no time and installed as soon as I got home from work.

Better front traction now. thinking of getting rear tower brace too for a balanced/firmer chassis.

Did stiffening up the front make the rear feel any looser? /thatswhatshesaid

Rolled 1000 miles yesterday on my way to the 86 Expo. Tried to take a pic, but my damn phone locked up as I pushed the button. By the time I'm done on this trip I'll probably be pushing towards 4K.

I got quoted $350 for Opti-Guard plus power polish. I've seen this guy's work on other FR-S's and BRZ's and it seems top notch.
I got quoted $1499 to do Xpel Ultimate and it covers: Full Hood ,Fender Edges, Bumper Wrap, Mirror Fronts, Headlights, A-Pillars & Roof Line.
Then $350 for all windows tinted except the front windshield of course.
Does that sound decent for price?
