That was for the Xpel Ultimate. Didn't get a thickness number, though.

This is what i was told as well, so I assumed that was the case, so everytime i turned my car on, before i started it, just turned in on, checked my tune and it was still in the same one it was in before i turned off the car. Gonna try it overnight and see if it resets after some time.
ok thats a new type file, and I know they have been working on that bug.

I assume this is the last file I sent you?

Well... it would be fitting, but I am in love with that blue so if it happens it will be blue.

I have a feeling I am going to be coming out of the process with some grey hairs

blunova is correct on the Xpel clear bra cost. They save some $$ doing a fulll wrap and bypassing the cutting fees - it seems like a good product - but I guess I need to wait to see how it works, but I do not want to wish for any more rocks to hit my beloved whiteout.

I have a couple of pics I snapped earlier - I put in some blue LEDS in the cabin and trunk - they were purchased at Amazon - I think they look fabulous at night on my whiteout - here is the link: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UOOS7S/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00"]Scion FRS FR-S BLUE Interior LED Package (2 Pieces) : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame]

Also - just put this FRS center console plaque in today: http://www.yospeed.com/scion-fr-s-su...ole-plaque.php

Looks good. I'm thinking about going with RED L.E.D.S. for my Interior to stick with my Red and Black theme. Or should I say my "SHADOW the Hedgehog theme"

I also pulled the trigger on KSport Coils and The Enkeis today. Can someone please point me towards a shop that can get me a set of RS3's?

Need help from a fellow WRB BRZ

Ok, so a few months ago I hit a deer while getting on 1604E from the Blanco onramp. New hood, bumper, passenger fender and a few other bits under the hood. Now the body shop is just about done with everything (delays getting parts) there is a small fitment issue with the bumper and the drivers headlight. Stopped by today and looked at it and while it is not a very big gap, there is a gap and only on the drivers side. They said they were having issues locating another to look at. I offered to take some pictures of another BRZ that at at my work (there are 4 others) and in the pictures you can see no gap. Only one I could find in the lot this afternoon was the DGM one.

Now they are asking me about trying to get another WRB BRZ by the shop for them to look at in person. I have not been able to get in touch with the guy who owns the WRB one at work, so I am going to ask here.

So, is anyone available to swing there WRB BRZ by Jack's Paint Place in Converse in the next day or two? I would be very grateful, and I would be happy to buy you lunch or something.

Why I don't want to just let this go, is that the passenger side and center upper radiator supports have already been replaced as they were also bent, I fear that somehow the drivers side was also bent causing the headlight to be the part causing the gap. A simple fix if it is the case.

I also don't like the fact that they are quickly changing there tune from very helpful to needing me to prove with the exact color that there is an issue. And I really have not had a good deal of time looking the car over to see if there is any other things that are not right.

Would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
adam

If I had my car I'd e more than happy to offer. I'm usually out at McQueeny further up 78. Jacks is a great place and they'll stand by their work.

Well folks I went and ordered 2 suspension setups so it's looking Like I'll have some RCEs up for sale. If anyone is interested let me know, and I'll sell them at a slight lose (they haven't even made it to the house)

Also if you are you'll have to bare with me as I won't be back to SA for a couple weeks
