Very nice pictures indeed, especially the wind mill one.

While watching these pictures, I couldn't help but notice that the GBS color actually match with dark blue jeans, like the one your wife wears. That was something new that I gather from this color.

Nice work man. That windmill shot looks like something you would see in a brochure. well done.

rice_classic · 07-10-2012, 01:45 AM

Socks and sandals man... sock and sandals.

"On the next episode of Portlandia..."

btw: great job on the opti-coat. Looks sharp.

My co-workers joke that for my next birthday they will get me socks that look like bare feet.

Come on, you saw the shirt I was wearing, my concepts of taste only go so far as cars and women (forced at gun point to throw that one in there)!

Looks great! I'm dying to join the GBS mafia!!!

Stu baru · 07-11-2012, 04:27 PM

Man, that car was just glowing when you were finished. Nicely done!

BoxeRZ · 07-11-2012, 04:53 PM

Anybody that rocks a craps table shirt is A-O.K. with me!
Nice pics and write up, congrats on the beautiful car.

michaelahess · 07-11-2012, 09:39 PM

Just put the rest of my LED's in everywhere. Too lazy to get before pics and it wouldn't matter as it's not yet dark out. Once it is, I'll get some pics and post.

The fogs needed to be modified a bit, otherwise everything went in fine. The turn signals all flash faster than the incandescent bulbs.

Laika · 07-11-2012, 10:31 PM

For someone who already owns a GBS BRZ, I sure do enjoy looking at your pictures.

chulooz · 07-11-2012, 10:32 PM

In for pics! Is it dark there yet???

Congrats! Beautiful car.

Out in LA the socks/sandals and phone belt holder would be $100 fines each, at least

Not sure if those are points on your license.

So cool!

Here's the daytime shots. The turn signals aren't as "invisible" as the chrome incadesants but they are still much less noticable than the amber bulbs. The fogs are huge, but everything fits good. The backup lights are not directed back, but at an angle, I suspect they won't actually be as bright. Here's what I've put in:

All the T10's for the parking lights, trunk, side markers, entry lights...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200721021588...S:1123&vxp=mtr

This is the small dome, I ordered a bigger one though, might put these in the vanity mirrors. First three images are showing more or less what the light looks like to the naked eye vs actual light output. You see each of the four LED's for example in the vanity mirror ones...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270842171728...ht_6789wt_1396

These are the vanity mirrors, bigger around than the originals but they fit fine...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280907350125...84.m1497.l2649

The fogs, had to trim two of the three "line-up" rib things, then they worked fine. The plug on the car went on hard, not keyed exactly, but it isn't going to wiggle off...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300735081206...ht_6100wt_1163

The reverse bulbs...

The amber turn signal ones...
