Will have some Tein flex A's in a few weeks time, just waiting for my new ones to be built.

Hey guys, Been a fan of this forum and especially the car since release, currently saving up for one of them...the TRD 14R to be precise, gotta few kinks to figure out - namely the 10 year registration issue and having the money saved for the car. But just wanted to make my presence known as i have a stupid amount of parts stored up waiting for it, even if it is 2025/6! Not gonna go the finance way, just saving and stashing but just wanted to show my face as it were and enjoy the journey. Thanks for reading if you did and hope the post is ok!

Nice job on the wing brackets!

There's a YouTuber called 'B is for build' and I remember him saying that he found the fitment and quality to be better on the replica than the genuine Rocket Bunny kit. His series on the gt86 might be of interest to you.

Day 49 While the BRZ is away at the crash specialists, I decided to start work on the wing brackets. They weren't in the best visual condition, but it was all superficial: Untitled by James Baker, on Flickr - So I used a heat gun to remove the GT86 stickers. - Followed by a light sand with fine grit to remove any minor surface imperfections or corrosion - I then cleaned down with a panel prep spray and clean cloth - I used a number of coats of grey primer - Finally finished in matt black Sard style wing part refresh by James Baker, on Flickr I am looking into what protection a matt clear coat over the top would provide as not used it before. Also had a photo from the crash specialist who are busy working away, they have the slam pane in place and are currently working out if everything else is straight. Once, done it can come back for me to paint the slam panel and get the rest ready for the bodyshop to paint it. Slam panel is on by James Baker, on Flickr

I would say the fit is okay but it's definitely not as clean as i'd have liked. I think alot of the value behind these kits is the style, the fact its from japan, etc rather than the quality but I think that goes without saying. Truthfully they're definitely no better than random other glass fibre parts/kits excluding copied parts which they are probably better than. Yeah im definitely going to be doing that under the headlights, at this stage im just fitting the kit so that i know all the parts are on the car and fit correctly. When I go back around the car a second time to smooth out mating surfaces, fit my proper hardware, clearance where needed, etc then i'll address the gap under the headlights

I can confirm that the Reyland kit fits under 18x7.5 ET46 Aero wheels with no problem. It also fits under the STI space saver wheel too. Shouldn't have problems undner 18x8"

Having come from an mx5 and loving the auto-dimming mirror I am trying to make this the car that I want. No you are thinking of the 14r60, that is too much of an animal, you would never get that through an IVA, well not before 10 years, i am talking about the 14r street version this is the 14r60 this is the 14r Far more like the UK version but with some nice touches, the brakes and wings are optional on the 14r.

I have - at last - finished working on the trapezoidal bezel to make it fit the Eonon head unit. It looks tidy now.
