I got my BRZ back from the body shop and she looks good as new and I got a free detail out of it. I guessing $1100 worth of damage isn't enough to make a diminished value claim?

I wouldn't recommend this long term but for a day or two there doesn't seem to be any adverse effects.

It is however difficult to get the tips even. (side to side is easy but my left wants to stick out an extra inch or two).
Going to try and trouble shoot it when I crawl under to slip in the gasket.

I recommend hanging everything but keeping things reasonably loose..then work your way from front to back. I'm pretty sure that rotating the sections will affect the fore-aft adjustment. Should be a post on this somewhere....
have an extra set of hands to help you, pull the S pipe down which will help straighten the pipes, then with your buddy holding everything in place, tighten the v-bands and hangers.

Very nice! Are those USDM Clear TOMS tail lights? It looks super nice on that color. I was wondering how those would look on my Series.Blue.

Here's a picture I took from this weekend.
Beautiful shot!

What the desire to change from denso to ngk

Spent after midnight out with my buddies driving along Pacific Coast Highway. I would have better pics but I didn't bring my camera. Was just one of those random "adventures" we always have when we decide to hang out.
Just 4 silly girls in a BRZ that don't know where to go.
