If feels exactly the same as the 70 usd versions, it just lacks the logo (which I prefer so it blends in with the TRD shift knob)

that's what I've been telling my friends, that rolling the fenders for the FRS/BRZ isn't necessary to run that size wheel but they keep insisting yes lol (4 of my close friends drive s2ks)

I've actually had them physically feel the fenders and they keep saying I'm going to have to roll still lol 😞... I'll show them who's right in a few months when I finally get my wheels 🤓

Built a shift knob. Sanded it down to get some of the metal burrs off. Will be leather wrapping it to finish up the look and to keep my hand from searing.

Saved myself loads and got a weighted shift knob, lol!

That's actually what I decided

There's a Toyota dealer 5 minutes from my house so I just have to get around to stopping in before or after work...
