That’s a great thing about coilovers! You can raise it a little for some peace of mind. It looks great flush like that. I know pretty much every pothole in my area, and I try to avoid them like the plague.

Dude that really sucks, I’m sorry I’ve been in that situation also, laying on the horn in a panic hoping the person backing up wakes up and stops. I’m glad it was at a slow speed and you are both ok. It is pretty amazing how modern cars absorb impacts. But we don’t want our 86’s and BRZs to go through that. Get her fixed good as new, on that persons insurance.

Thanks man! I ordered them from an EBay seller, Quality-Auto-Parts I think. They are probably not OEM Scion badges since they are molded in gloss black. But they turned out great, easy install with 3M tape on the back and the little guide pins. Not bad for $20

Nice mods. -

However, not to be all lecturish, but, I would suggest you crank the coilovers up a notch or two, just in case you hit a swale on the highway -

3” catted combo. Works really well with my catback (CSG Touring). Really quiet when idling and cruising, but has a nice sound when going WOT!

Doesn't even have to be all that big as I found out when I took the company truck parked next to my car. Even bright orange is damn near invisible if parked or located in the wrong place. It gave me a whole new perspective when people do what seems dumb around me.
anybody much shorter than me would not even know the car was there.

Picked up a ceramic coating the other day. I will be taking time on my vacation to do a correction before coating it in preparation for winter.

I would like to do a similar set up eventually. I will probably start with a catback, just to hear something. It’s so quiet stock.

The FR-S is a speed bump to some trucks

Installed a Harman NAV module (86100-YY050) from a Prius to my head unit. Works great! Thanks to @Face_Plant for the great deal!

The Prius has a lot to answer for... first it gives up its tyres, now its ICE, what next? Electric motor and battery??
