I stopped at Hatfield today as they have a "Hot Lava" FRS there, nice color but the ass end of that car leaves a lot to be desired. Seats are comfy though and I seemed to have plenty of headroom in it. Will have to drive one next year maybe.

They are probably taken, but I saw both a Red and a Blue Limited BRZ at Byers Mazda Subaru today.

"Toyota and Subaru executives apparently contacted NHTSA and announced they were filing a joint recall on the new BRZ and FRS after learning that it is neither all-wheel nor front-wheel drive. Stop sale ordered"

The "skinny":

Inside Line says: If you own a 2013 Scion FR-S or 2013 Subaru BRZ, expect to get a one-page insert for your owner's manual correctly explaining how the airbag system works.

 

Edit:

Haha, you bastard. I didn't read the second line of your post before I posted.

got a voicemail from the dealer about inserting 2 pages in owners manual.

 

While Draco is going for the balance, CG..etc I think I'm gonna try to fit some fat wheels/ more drop thing.

 

Oh, anyone know of good headlight retrofitters around here?

Those guys used to be out of Westerville, but their website now says Georgia. Could be worth a call anyway?

the car looks like it was built to be slammed and tucking. I'm curious to know how much lower you can go before giving crappy rear axle angles.

 

It's not really the axles to worry about, unless you do something silly with the rear camber. But the suspension geometry goes to hell after about 1" of drop and it becomes difficult to control the alignment.

 

Of course when people slam the car like that they tend to have such stiff suspensions that nothing moves enough to mess with the alignment. *shrug* Not my thing.

It's got a lot of overspray from the tinters but it's passable. :)

Did you notice something else about the After picture?

Painted the vent cover thinge on the fender?

 

No....look like he tinted the side markers as he was hoping to do. On black it looks great. The fender vent things are like that stock. Looks much better on black than on the lighter colors.

 

I've been wanting to slightly tint my tails. Nothing huge, just enough to knock out the really bright reflection, sorta like the tinted plate covers I have. I wonder if they can do that? The site I ordered the yellow overlays on my fogs sell an overlay for the tails but I'd rather have them done by locally vs trying it myself and risking it not turning out perfect.

 

The stock wheels are growing on me a bit more. Would have to see them with a slight drop to love them I think. Can't wait to see the new ones though.

lol. I'm going to just transfer the generics that were on the Leggy, that were on the Corolla. They're the old red white and blue plates. I'm going to try and avoid the "clip-art vomit" plates. Maybe when the new plates are out I'll rethink a custom plate.
