Me too, unfortunately it'll be a month before I can AutoX it again.

I tend to mod my cars in a more moderate style. Function over Form, but I like some form with my function as well. I have a HT/Kuro front lip waiting to go on and a CARSMO duckbill spoiler on the way to finish up the form side of the equation.

At that point the car should pretty much be "done" unless after the AutoX I decide it needs sways.

Then it's a 3-4 year wait for a full build.. maybe.

I wholeheartedly agree. The car doesn't have to tuck tire to look good! *puts RCE yellows on his BRZ wish list*

Yup. I believe cars should be driven and enjoyed. "Hard Parking" isn't my thing.

Which means, my BRZ is "done".

So new glamour shots:

That is one GREAT looking car. Maybe the best looking BRZ (or FR-S for that matter) on this forum. Tasteful, functional, classy and IMO perfect.

That rear end is so sexy. You're making me want that duckbill! I'm upset missed that group buy thread. Is it a direct bolt on?

Also, what exhaust is it and how do you like it?

There's a link a couple posts above to my install of the spoiler.

If you go to the first post of my journal here I have it indexed with links.
