WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[kberkel]

Washed and wax the car today and met up with my brother and his buddy.





A few people walked by.. "That blue color is amazing!"


They didn't even notice the other cars


Finally got to feel the launch in the WRX. Crazy fun, clutch smell is stuck in my nose though.

I went to see my car today. The PDR work is amazing. Apart from 2 small spots you can't even tell it looked like a 16 year old face only two weeks ago. They had to replace the hood and painted it but that was not done correctly so it's getting fixed.

Got my summer tires and rims back on yesterday, today I steam cleaned the salt out of the mats and carpet. So much better.

Clear bra is a must!

I've never had a clear bra. This car has taken a beating more than any other I've owned. It's also been a bad winter here. I think it's a combination of weak crappy clearcoat/paint and a rough winter.

I've never had one either, until this car. The winter here was brutal, and my bumper looks brand new. IMO it's a must for these cars.

You think it's the quality of the paint?

It's the quality of all recent paint, not just Subaru. Water based and soft.

The main reason I won't ever own another new black car; the front ends look like crap if you don't clear bra them, so much more than other colors.


My WRB has been better than average. Of course I get chips here and there, but nothing like on my last black car. Just within the last few weeks I got a bunch of new chips that I plan to repair. I'm just thankful I don't see the thousands of speckles.


I have 12k miles and my front end looks great IMO, I'll take a close-up pic of you want

Yes. I'm keeping it. The repair job is amazing. The only part replaced is the hood and it is just cosmetic so I figure the loss is not too bad and if I sell it in 5 years when it is paid off the loss in value is not going to be big.

It's only cosmetic damage. The car still drives as it did before.

When I get it back I will post before and after pictures. Once they do the hood there will be very little evidence that there was ever any damage.

This guy does magic.

Got my paint color corrected! Took 8-10 hours for the whole job, I gotta say it felt like a million bucks driving it home.
