WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 740 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I washed it and spray waxed it. I'll post pictures tomorrow morning.
My original plan was to clay bar it and purchase one of those rotary buffers but i decided against it because it was too intimidating for me. I just used the noob spray wax (meguiars). Sadly I did discovered paint chips on the hood and front bumper. This along with the windshield chips...idk this car is a pia. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. At first I thought maybe the rock chips/windshield chips are because of following cars too closely but honestly even with ample following distance you end up hearing road debris ricocheting off the car. #rant

It took me 2 and a half hours but overall it was a very therapeutic evening.

Today I was messing around with my door panel trying to figure out how to fix my loose driver side window

But something came to mind today...and I'm curious to find out the answer

What If while you were working on your door panel and when you were ready to install everything back the way it was and forget to put these 2 things back

And close the door ...would there be a way to open the door again without going through the passenger side ?

Picked out the wheel color for my PF01s. GK1: Subaru BBS Gold

The body shop should be painting them early next week. I just need to figure out what I'll do with my center caps. That chrome rim around the center cap should probably be painted gold, too.

Unless I'm mistaken, this disconnects the inside handle but not the outside handle. So you could still get in your car and could roll the window down to use the outside handle to get out.

Yeah I think you could still use the key on the outside to unlock the door

Installed padded speaker grilles. Did an oil change and added a Fumoto valve for easy oil changes.

thankfully the body shop im going to is a very close friend of mine,

he said it could have easily been $1200-$1500

Finally got some VHT Night-Shade Red and some clear coat and did my tail lights.

-Sanded lights with 1000 Grit
-7 Coats of VHT
-Wet sanded lights with 2000 Grit
-5 Coats of Clear

Need to wet sand and polish clear still but aside from some light orange peel they look good.

Why?

Did you get the turbo?

What year 14 or 15? Asking because for some reason they gimped the turbo HP output on the 15 and newer models.

@Koa
I think that we should officialy call what White did "pulling a Koa"!
Also proof that I read way too many posts since I knew exactly what was happening.

Installed new taillights.
