WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 33 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tinted my windows 35% all around.

Finally reached 500 miles. I'm halfway to actually being able to drive this car!!!!

Replaced the fake fender vents with a set of fender panels from a FR-S. Much better.

lol actually i got them from an online Toyota parts site for like $100+shipping. I realized I wanted to keep all my stock pieces so I always have the option to revert to stock

digging the wheels and the black aero pieces.

ayau · 09-22-2012, 02:53 AM

@switchlanez, did you purchase the black aero pieces from japanparts.com? i couldn't imagine the overseas shipping on that.

Yeah the shipping was just under $500 IIRC. I justified that by cash saved from the 17% discount compared to MSRP on STI's site, more saved from not having to paint the pieces, no sales tax, and from not paying other US-based importers double the shipping cost for slower ocean freight shipping (got these thru air in 11 days from ordering).

Would you, possibly, be able to provide a link to where you bought it from?
