It's been a while since I've added any photos so here is ONE from autoX yesterday. I know my bumper is looking pretty ragged right now!

Did you like the Kooks better than the Z2's?

Niiice car man, pretty much everything I want to get sooner or later :]

Any problems with fitment while you were stock on the grids? Looking at getting a set and then probably getting the sport line kit

You'll be fine with 17x9 grids with the 42 offset if you don't run wider tires than 245/40/17, which is the size I'd recommend. If the offset is 45 like many wheels that size you'll rub on the spring.

Man, I aspire to your level of care-free mentality re: that bumper. Curious, how much of that is rubber vs. scrapes? I've got some scrapes under there from being careless, it's petty (and I know this), trying to get past it mentally haha.

Awesome, build - really enjoyed reading it and looking forward to what the future has in store for you!

If you wanna go fast you pretty much just have to come to grips with the fact it's gonna ruin your bumper! Most of it is tire/cone marks that will polish off, but I also have these marks all the way down the side of the car!!! But some of the marks are paint scrapes from low driveways and the like.

My FR-S is actaully getting a new bumper right now becuase I hit some debris on the highway a few weeks back and the zip ties holding it together aren't standing up to cones anymore! So now I get to ruin a whole new bumper! YAY!
