That sucks! Unfortunately, most people don't give a rats ass about their own car...let alone ours, but the one's that do are parked at the far end of the lot with me.

I took a 200 mile trip to Albuquerque. I was going 80MPH when a tumbleweed about the size of 2 basketballs rolled across the freeway, I couldn't swerve to avoid it and smashed it with the front right side of my car. The tumbleweed bounced off against my windshield and over the car and a part of it got stuck to the front grill. Luckily, no noticiable damage to the car except a few minor scratches on the front lip.

I would suggest a couple things.
One, just one layer of 3M tape is not thick enough, the rubber trim that you stick on the edge of the skirt holds it out some.
I doubled layered the 3M tape to make it thicker, before I did this, it barely contacted the car at all. (you will have to buy extra tape)
Second, 3M makes little cleaning pads called Adhesion Promoter. They are not cheap, but they do seem to make a difference.
My buddy brought me a couple, I applied them to the car side. (already had the 3M tape stuck on the skirts before he got here)

I tried the double layer method, but the tape didn't want to stick to itself after some time, and backed off even worse than just the tape by itself. I haven't tried the adhesion promoter though. I skipped that the last time I reapplied them. I'll order them the next time I'm annoyed enough, haha. Thanks.

Installed a Mini 0906 Dash Cam, which is a front and rear cam setup at 1080p 30fps
Seems like a nice setup for the price (about $115 of ebay)
Look for the ones that come with a cpl filter, looks like its going to take alot of glare off the windshield. (you rotate the filter till its the clearest)

Also designed and 3D printed a dual magnet RAM mount, for my phone.
The single one couldnt cope with the BRZ G Forces haha

Had 2 obnoxious dents pushed back out by my smart repair shop.

One on the diver side rear quarter, right on the edge above the wheel house, and one a bit further up on the roof line.

Luckily, both spots were accessible from the inside, so paid 120 bucks total and the car loks like the dents never existed.

Nice, I've been looking for a good PDR in my area to take care of mine but they left a nice scratch right in the dent and it doesn't seem to wash off. I'm not sure if having someone pop it out would make it worse.

Wrapped my passenger side panel, tried to do the stereo trim but I screwed up badly.
Also did the clutch spring removal, definitely helps with shifting. TRD Quick Shift + Clutch Spring Removal = everything got harder to shift when sore.

Took my BRZ to @Elite Performance today to get some new shoes put on (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S), get some camber bolts installed up front for a bit of negative camber, and finally get my APR spats installed.

Threw on a Lathe Werks stainless steel reverse teardrop shift knob. I am amazed how much more enjoyable shifting gears is now, and how effortlessly smooth they shift.

I did the Tail light mod and added a carbon fiber piece in the center of the tail light.

Finally bought mine! Been lusting after one since 2011/2012 when I saw the concept. Haven't driven it much, but really looking forward to using this as a part time daily. 2018 White pearl with pp

Also, did not crash lol

Sorry about posting a link but it is way harder than necessary to upload a photo on here from my phone.

The link doesn't work :\ Maybe a private post or something?
