Sure, post when you guys decide to go sliding around. I don't drift and I've been looking for opps to rebuild my tub chassis. I'll just play around with grip.

I gave up on this FR-S body looking good and just finished it. The paint sucks in a bunch of spots, and the stickers are not 100% perfect/proper. It looks decent, but the silver is all wrong. Way too metallic. The next body will be turquoise.

Haha, funny, a very similar thing happened with me and my wife. She saw an fr-s with a lip spoiler and said "those look kinda cool, you should get one, make it look sleeker" and I pretty much had the same reply as you

Seriously considering these, hmmm...est. available late next month (8/25). "Sparco" labels are stickers, so I might just leave 'em off.

Someone settle this. Am I crazy or is this a brz? There was discussion in a thread and some guy in New Zealand with a TRD gt86 is saying its a gt86. Says I need to remeber its not an FRS and that those are gt86 fogs and the grill shape is from a gt86 ( same shape as an FRS anyway).

Its a BRZ, you can clearly see the "boomerang" LED strip, plus you can see part of the upside-down trapezoidal shaped grill and part of the BRZ "mustache/mouth guard"

86_ZN6 · 07-19-2013, 01:03 PM

foglights alone tells you its a BRZ

finch1750 · 07-19-2013, 01:24 PM

I told him all that plus the headlights. I told him all that and he was like no. I mean he owns a gt86 and his fogs looked like that. Confused the hell out of me. I was like what? Lol

Maybe they're selling BRZ's with Toyota badges as "TRD GT86's" in New Zealand

Looks good! HPI does do different with their sticker sheets. Other brands may be better but your also paying the hiked price. One curb rash and there goes your effort and $$$ hehe

Anyone have any suggestions for where I can buy a race helmet on a saturday? I'd like to get one from LPI in Livermore, but they're not open Saturdays and there's no way I can get to the east bay by 5 on a weekday. Any other suggestions?
