Moved to correct thread.

Just passed my 1 month mark of owning my BRZ and so far I've installed my Rydeen camera, Perrin 2" shorty antenna, 8" sub, got the windows tinted, and I'm waiting for the Perrin 4" Slash Cut Exhaust Tips.

I'm no speed racer on the streets. I'm only purchasing items that will make my call look a bit more sleek and luxurious.

not today but this past saturday I did the ....
1. magnetic license plate holder mod and
2. switched out my side markers for clear

Side markers were a pain to get out and in but I think I figured out the secret to getting them back in for those who have had trouble getting them to snap. Took a bunch of pictures of the process but will take me a while to document.

hit a pothole and got a flat. subaru roadside assistance said it would take an hour to get someone to help. so i just changed to the spare myself. roadside assistance also told me they did not know if the tires were covered by warranty, and i'd have to call the dealership directly. dealership looked at the tire, said it is NOT covered, and NOT repairable. they want $208 to replace the tire.

also found a door ding on the passenger side when i washed the car on sunday. $150 to fix.

not a great week.

I hear ya. Two weeks ago I ran over a broken piece of silverware:

I had to replace my tires with something. The stock tire kept getting quoted to me at $217-$223. Instead I paid $250 and got two Toyo Extensa HP High Performance All-Seasons in 225/45R17. I got that staggered fitment baby!

Crazy I can pay for two tires at the price of one. My car is tail happy, but I'm insane because I actually prefer less traction.

Here, I help you out by hosting it for you on my flickr account:

Lookin good! I got 30% side windows, 20% rear and 40% front windshield. I would love to do 15% all around, though.

chanomatik · 07-09-2013, 06:54 PM

To be on topic, after getting a fix-it ticket I decided to just zip tie my plate:

Blue ones! I really didn't want to spend money on the GrimmSpeed kit and I couldn't find my bracket that comes with the car. @OrbitalEllipses said he'd give me his, but that takes time. I still will probably end up taking his and doing the genius magnetic mod.

If you want to get a super dark tint, talk to your optometrist and get a prescription for it.

I have about 10% tint all around on my car and I have a doctor's note to show them if I ever get pulled over for it. I've never had any issues with my tint though and I've had them for over 5 years now
