Seriously, how much did getting a BRZ to Rapa Nui cost?

The bike probably has just as much torque as the brz shouldn't be too bad

Good times! I watched my buddy run off the track into some mud at IMI once in his ZX6. HPR is a blast in the car!

Mostly highway.. work pays for the depreciation as well as the gas, so it's not all that bad

haha thats fantastic. Thankfully haven't done that yet. Haven't done HPR in a car yet but I've ridden there maybe 4-5 times on a bike and its super fun! Had the opportunity to race the last round at PPIR too, that was actually super fun too, just further away for me

Took about 45 minutes a piece, which seemed like forever.

Just reinstalled. Amazing for about $1 worth of material. $5 for 5' on amazon.
install pics?

I'll get some tomorrow. Strangely one of my favorite mods, I think it looks fantastic.

On a side note.. I was supposed to get my oil changed at 22,500. I scheduled it last week, and put on about 500 miles since then. I never know when I have to travel, so it's random.

As I rolled into the dealer.. 22,500



The guy goes.. "Did you drive around the block a few times?"

I bought it in March with 9800 miles

For $5.. it's worth messing with
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007OXCIB0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: 3d Black Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap - Outdoor rated for automotive use - 12" x 60 ": Automotive[/ame]


It's like a weak sticker, which was weird to me. I had only worked with "static cling" vinyls.. which usually stretch "just enough" with a good amount of heat.. but with this, just a TINY bit of heat turns it into putty, it just loses all tension. This made it hard since pinching with two fingers, then heating, made the whole section relax and wrinkle, so you have to be quick to drop the heat gun and stretch over the corners with two hands.

One downside as well, is you can't keep peeling and replying a bunch of times, especially around corners. Static cling vinyls will always stick, but eventually the adhesive on this CF wrap started losing its stickiness, so you have to have a plan of attack.

I might make a mini tutorial when I get my other shipment in to do the bigger pieces.

Half the battle is getting the flattest portion on without bubbles (could take like 1 minute). Once that is done, work on the corners, which need most stretch.. then gradually stretch less and less till you reach a straight portion. Just patience after you get it started.
