They were a Black Friday gift from me to myself. I was really getting tired of the red stock tails.

If it's the Black Friday deal that FTEightySix.com had, I got in on them too.

I can't see the pic from work, but I assume they are the clear versions. If so, good choice. I love the look of them.

Amplifies the character of BRZ.

I'm sold on Tom's. Not sure if I want a Red or cleared.

Thanks for the pics man.

Clear. The red lens looks out of place on the back of this car IMO.

The dull silver never looked good to me. I'm not sure why they went with that color in the first place.

Question.

Did you get your interior panels wrapped with CF film?

How much did you pay? Where did you get it done?

I actually just bought CF pieces that stick to the original pieces with double sided tape. Which probably costs waaaaaay too much for what it is.

For the past year every once in a while on my way to work I would see this one guy driving and he'd pull up to me at stop lights to complement my car and tell me how awesome it looked. Today he pulled up next to me in a brand new BRZ and said I convinced him to buy one.

dude that looks better than nearly any 86-related apparel item I've seen out there.

I wouldn't ever wear this, but



kind of like this, but not quite enough to buy it... maybe if it didn't have the D4-S on it. seems random

ah! I've seen that before. I wish it were still available.

I almost bought this one, despite not owning the car at the time.

No really, though. Please make that shirt, and in high quality. I don't want a print that cracks or a black shirt that turns blue after a couple of washes. I'd buy it. If you start selling it, let me know!

Let me know what size you guys want. I'm looking for a place that can do wrap around prints now. The color might change (I'm thinking light grey with black ink) because I know printing on black shirts is a PITA.

That's fine. I'll take a medium

This car is a money pit first car I've really fallen in love with all-around. You'd think with all the mods I want for it, it would be a piece of crap. But so tempting...
