Good to know about the resurfacing btw...I always bed in properly to mate the surface and never resurface unless warped
The rotor gets EAT up. So, even if it doesn't make a difference, you should just expect to get another just in case.

My friend finally found her Nexus 7 at home.

She said she can't find the charger, so she'll give it to me for free.....

Oh, and congrats on not being a victim, friend. I'm TRULY happy for you.

Coilover fund...maybe you can order for Easter instead of your bday, if you're a good boy.

This local guy is parting out. I may swap his Redded out tails with my stock tails in couple weeks.

His FRS is sexy by the way.

Girth > length

5" diameter, not circumference, mind you.

That's a FRS, not BRZ.

Yeah, the seller of the tabs said that's the one he has been using for a long time.

Picked up my Nexus 7 yesterday. My friend said she rarely used it. It looks brand new.

Just purchased the Torque Pro App.

Read through this Official Torque App topic over at FT86 forum and added Oil Temperature Custom PID on the app. This was one of the main reasons why I wanted to get this entire set up.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23530

The tab mounts will be here later today in the mail. Can't wait to put it on!

Love the lip! How much drilling did you have to do? I'm thinking of getting a lip, skirts, and splats but don't want to drill 400 holes into the car.

I like the diffuser on it's own if the exhaust tips fill out the cutouts. But IMO if you get the rear spats, a diffuser is a must. Looks funny otherwise...

I'm starting to like the STI-style front lip. Or Chargespeed. Just torn over the side skirts. I want them painted, but...

Thanks! I love the look of it!

I think I drilled about 10 under the bumper. The car was on the lift at the shop, so it literally took 3 of us less than 5 minutes to finish the job.

Will probably add the side and back later to complete it. But that will probably be after I get the coilovers.

You should get the full kit!

BaysonR or JonMotoring BRZ STi Style Full Lip kit! It's like $380 shipped or something. I've seen it in person. The quality and fitment are amazing. I would never pay $1500 for the real STi kit from Japan.

I'm a huge fan of STi style one. Will finish the kit in the future.

STi
http://www.jonmotoring.com/subaru-br-z-sti-style-kit/

Chargespeed
http://www.jonmotoring.com/subaru-br...eed-style-kit/

You can purchase the STi emblems and add them on to complete the kit.

When I checked out this local member car, I thought it was the real kit from Japan. He texted me that it's the JonMotoring kit after I left the meet.

STI side skirts = meh

The black/unpainted front lip looks okay. But then black side skirts look funny *rips hair out*

TOO MANY OPTIONS!!!

paint the top portion of the sideskirt and leave the "edge" black to match the front.

I prefer this style kit. Would be nice to delete the LED DRL strip too... hmm.



Next thing I wanna do is there's a DIY for hooking up the boomerangs in the headlights to turn on with the DRLs.

Should look fine. How many shades of plasti dip do they have these days? Only issue is the match, but until you get like 3 feet away, plasti dip looks perfectly smooth on trim pieces.

When I get the side and rear spats, I'm going to paint all in glossy black including the front lip.

That would make the kit look much cleaner than unpainted finish.

ok black cars maybe.

if you have a Grey car, don't be ghetto and get them painted.

The color will not match.

I'm sure it didn't look unfinished, but then you'd have to LIKE that look. Personally, I'm all about no stickers and all matching everything. Maybe black roof vinyl, but everything else I love to be the same color as the car. Visually, it's just more appealing to me.

Buttt...it's not my car!
