Are you talking about the side mirrors? If so, thanks and @Diode Dynamics has a video of how to install them and some helpful info in their now closed group buy thread. I believe there's supposed to be paper instructions too? But we didn't look at them if they were there since the video is sufficient enough.

Lookin sharp, Chano!

What did you use for the studs? I may have to do this on my Mustang and am a little hesitant to take a cutoff wheel to them.

Thanks man. I'll have to give JapanParts a little email or something and see what they can do. I always thought the no-airmail bit was just for coilovers just due to the pressure in them. Maybe there was a miscommunication somewhere along the way. Good to hear airmail worked for you!

Well I didn't do this to my BRZ but... someone put this in the windshield this morning on 92. =/

To the truck: Get some damn mud flaps!!

Thanks bro! My buddy Davin just used a grinder to the stock ones.



Shaved off a few mm, just enough to clear the pockets in the wheels.

Almost lost mine to flash flooding today... I was able to move it to higher ground right before the water got above the front axle.

That's crazy! Is the flooding on the news?

If he had a smart phone, his emergency broadcasting protocol should have alerting him to flash flooding in the area.

We closed the group buy, but we are still offering a 30% discount for pre-orders



Let me know if you guys need help with the mirror covers

I do, and it did... about 45 seconds after a torrent of water came into our offices. Thanks for the warning! By the time we unplugged all of the office equipment, my car was already in trouble. Hiked up my pants and waded barefoot through the parking lot to move it to higher ground just in time.

I'll try to get some pictures of our office up...

Water rose to over 10" up our doors.


And that sliver of green is a bench - the water here almost got above the windows to the lower part of our shop before receding. That part of the shop had water squirting out of the masonry.

I had a set of those same wheels on my old '11 STI sedan and loved them - cleaning them was a pain though. They look great on your BRZ.

Got sent home to WFH right before a big storm since our building is known to lose power in big storms. The rain starts, then about 5 minutes later I get a tornado alert (the kind where they've spotted one touching down near you) and then about 30 seconds after that I lost power. Fun!

The whole 10 minutes of the storm did a GREAT job powerwashing the brake dust off my wheels though!
