I know it's hard to tell from a picture, but it looks like a lot of that might actually buff out. Go check out Exclusive Collision Center in Tempe. Somebody managed to put a 5 inch scratch down my door and I took it to them last week and they buffed it out in the parking lot for free. You can't even tell it was there. They do great work and have great customer service.

Damn, free? That's fantastic customer service. It looks really deep to me, but I will definitely take it down there and see what they say. My insurance deductible is only $250, but if I can get it fixed for less, or around the same, I'd much rather do that than go through insurance.

Mine covers all entrances and garage. I have some more for the pool area.. They pan and tilt and can be programed for all kinds of things such as text messaging, emailing, motion detection and even link with connected home devices. Can handle 70 cameras (if you have enough bandwidth i guess).. Fry's has them, but they are less online..
That's really nice... I've heard great things about Foscam, so that is definitely the route I'll take.

Did not call the number. I can't imagine it's the person who wrote it, and probably someone who had no idea who it might be. My bet is that it's just stupid neighborhood kids being stupid.

How much is your deductible on your ins. Vandalism falls under your comprehensive policy

Since yours goes on with tape, it won't be a huge deal to remove. But ours is bolted on. When the time comes to compete, we'll probably swap out our stock spoiler for something more functional and actually worth the full 4 points. Something super ricey looking! LoL

Not high, only $250. I'm not sure how much these kinds of repairs normally run though, so was going to look into that before going through my insurance.

Man, the aero package on my Series.Blue is going to add up to quite a bit then.

Hey guys! Thought I'd stop be, see whats going on.

Hawaii is great, the hurricane this weekend was a joke, amounted to a day of slightly more wind and a near constant drizzle. Supposedly another one is supposed to hit today or tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, but ironically your wing won't cost you anything, because all BRZs come with one. I asked them if I could swap badges and not take the points.

Here's the classing rules if you want some light reading. Keep in mind though, this is only for competition in Time Trials. You can drive in the HPDE classes (those are non-competition) without making any consolations on the series.blue and go drive for fun. That's waht we'll be doing for probably at least a year or two before we get to a point we can enter TT.

Feel free. I'm not 100% on the last four numbers myself.

BTW, where did you order your Pilot Supersports? Been looking to get them through the warranty, but Sears said they weren't being manufactured anymore... This was a couple months back, and I heard they might have just temporarily stopped producing them.

Actually the Premium does not come with a wing, only the Limited model.
