Chiropractor said my back was pretty jacked up for being only 4-5 hours after the accident.

Thats the only way you can do it. After my accident I went right to my chiropractor and I ended up going through 5 sessions with 3 1 hour massage sessions to adjust my back to normal. it takes time to heal but if you follow up with appointments youll feel great. Glad you are okay though.

Looks good, you're one of the first in the country that has the entire lip kit. I was glad when I finally got mine in last month, really finished off the body, especially now that I have the STI optional wheels. Just waiting on my WRX S4 parts now...

Nice, I'm waiting on JapanParts to ship my rear fog and JDM grille. I preordered a set of Swift springs too, should be shipping out next week; 1" drop all around is gonna be nice

I think after the second coat you hit the law of diminishing returns. But it does feel good to have a clean car.

I searched for the part online and found it from a Subaru dealer. I think there are multiple dealers online that have it.

Only appropriate that I post pics I took today, under spoilers and STI wheels were done awhile ago. Keeping mine stock height, will need the clearance when I leave next summer.

They were 1229 from Heuberger, but the WRX wheels are not the same width or bolt pattern as the BRZ.

Car Info: STI Hatch - 2012
Installed the 2-Row Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator. Everything was plug and play and install was uneventful, had to trim the top hose about 3/8's of an inch to make sure it won't get too close to the belt / pulleys (all other hoses left as-is). To be honest, I'm not sure if the 2-row radiator is an actual upgrade from stock. The stock may be one row but it has a lot higher fin per inch density than the Mishimoto unit (stock looks like it has twice as much). Mishimoto doesn't seem to have a tech article on the 2-Row unit for the GR's so I'm not sure how effective it is (per their test notes).
