Did you gentlemen ever further discuss getting the European red-trimmed BRZ floor mats? I really want a set and would happily pay a commission if you could get me a set. Thanks!

It's about $130 for wrap if I'm not mistaken...

Well at this point you could have just looked at his public profile to see my visitor message that requested he PM the gentleman directly... I guess I could have just said that when I quoted him, but I was trying to be... discreet? No clue why he couldn't receive PM's that forced me to leave a Visitor Message, although that should've been my first clue. If his PM privileges have been revoked, then it's potentially his loss. I will advise you do the same, PM him.

I made an infraction early on in the forum and my PM box was never restored. *shrug*

Pretty sure they are still making the old one since it was for the Prius or something. I would not recommend it. I had one and returned it. It did not match the contour of the roof and looked off to me.

Personally, I'd go for the Perrin shorty. I got the 2" and it looks so much better than the stock "RC Car" antenna.

I didn't like the stock antenna and was thinking of getting a sharkfin but the sharkfins for the US models look a little wonky imho (they're kind of big) and the Perrin 2" shorty was cheap and really fixed the massive antenna problem just fine. I really like mine.

Thanks! Normally the WRX has a set of gold Rota Grids on that are flush, 17x9s. Those black wheels were the winter tires. We had a foot and a half of snow and it had all melted off when I took that picture, but it was bad out here. Some crazy snow.

Here's another angle:






Also, I have the Beatsonic sharkfin for the FRS. It looks better than the BRZ one and I don't need the navigation thing as I have a separate head unit anyway.
