I got new tires

They came with this.



My dad at the dealership checking out the car.


Cheesy Instagram shot.

Its a dark grey metallic BRZ Premium 6MT with optional fog lights and spoiler and I can't decide if I like or hate. Sorry for the crappy photos, its too damn cold outside to take good ones.

Michelin Primacy HP (Grand Touring) tires more than likely as they are the OEM supplier.

Pretty cool that they gave you a free car with the purchase of the tires. I only got a $80 mail in rebate...

Congrats!

Cool!

Enjoy. That pic of Clarkson grinning as he pilots the sister car, the FT-86, is epic. Love that!

The headlights are what put this over the FR-S for me. I'm too lazy to retrofit JDM or EDM headlights.

Nice work. I had the pleasure of hearing a 6,000rpm brz blast on Thursday. I was a little envious.
