Birmingham, AL - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kflanegan · 08-29-2012, 11:21 PM

Anyone representing AL with an FR-S or BRZ? I'm about 30 miles south of Birmingham and my Argento MT FR-S is my daily driver. Already got my 86 badges on order and getting a 30% tint tomorrow. I'm at 1073 miles now, so glad I got past that break-in period. Having a blast so far.

Bring it up to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Sept. 16th. It's going to be a good day!

I grew up in Vestavia. I'm up that way on rare occasion. B'ham has some great driving roads. I love visiting just to hit my old backroads. Congrats on the new car! Don't get into too much trouble. Hoover has especially gotten crazy with their police force in the last few years.

You guys should come up to Huntsville on October 6th!

We'd love to have a lot of FRS/BRZ cars at the meet!

Out running errands today around Alabaster and south on highway 119 and saw two FR-S'. That makes the most I've seen in a day. There was a firestorm near the Best Buy/Longhorn Steakhouse in Alabaster. The other was an asphalt parked outside a construction business I think off 119. I saw the owner of the firestorm but I was out with my wife in her Rav 4 so I didn't want to bother the dude.

I got my tint installed last Thursday and picked up my wheel locks and mudguards yesterday from the dealer in Clanton. Hopefully I'll install the latter tomorrow on my second day off. Waiting on my Toyota 86 rebadge kit from Nigel-Jdmparts but no update yet on the shipping. I'm excited to have a different look but don't want to seem like I'm against Scion branding. What are yall's thoughts on doing rebadging on the FR-S? It's my thought that since Toyota and Subaru did all the production and planning they should have the recognition displayed proudly. I'm also partial to Toyota's badges and JDM look in general.
