Jeez. Living in Canada I haven't been able to clean my frs in months I forgot how good they look when they're sparkling.

I have that same keyboard.

How did you finish off the sun visors on the edge? Just cut to fit and glued?

Can someone tell me what the big deal is with Alcantara?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have leather. I think I just don't get it lol

Me too! I always thought alcantara is just fancy suede lol and I don't like the feel of suede.

Gringosteve · 01-24-2016, 03:24 AM

Alacantra is non-fancy imitation suede with a fancy name

I just noticed today that the "perforated leather" on the door panel is actually hard plastic. Felt so dumb

Took me a week or two to notice that. I want to leather wrap it but that increases weight so it can stay plastic

It was sunny in London yesterday but the line ups at all the car washes were ridiculous. I briefly considered trying to wash my BRZ in the driveway but it was still -10ºC and I don't need a skating rink!
