People have done this for years in Alaska. For a while the cops are wising up to it and still handing out tickets, but I haven't heard of anyone being harassed about it despite a prescription for a few years now.

I will be completely honest, I do suffer from night blindness pretty bad and I have very sensitive eyes that water all the time. During the summer the sun never goes down and during the winter the sun reflects all over the snow and headlights blind. Once I got the front windshield done I felt 10x better driving around at night. I could see more of the cars around me instead of just lights shining everywhere.

I'll talk to my doctor about it since I need a new prescription anyways. Thanks!

No! Don't drill that bumper!

I recommend saving for the GS mount. If I ever get a ticket, I'll buy that right away. Until then, I'm keepin the bumper clean. You know, except for the occasional rock chip...

Well isn't the magnetic mod just drilling underneath? I don't mind that so much...

No drilling for magnetic license plate

just tape and/or glue

hmmm that's not a half bad idea ....my grill is essentially zip tied in. I have a tow hook plate relocation mount but it looks kinda silly off to the side like that.

I think the slim black license plate hides the tackiness.

Just lemme know when you want me to ship it...and actually let me find it. I know I still have it.

Yup; glue on the backside of the bumper (engine bay) for the magnets.

Installed Valenti tail lights. All I can say is that they look sinister on the CBS color car. Pics don't do them complete justice.

Gave my BRZ over to the boys at Diode Dynamics today to get it tested for some future parts. Will keep you posted.

I'm loving the look of those tails!

Looks best on black.

tedddee · 07-10-2013, 01:15 AM

Curbed the fuck out of my front bumper. So upset right now.

It's on the front too so it's visible, gaaah.

Any ideas on a cheap temporary fix? Kind of want to just buy some vinyl and overlay it, like sticker bombing but minus the stickers.

Plasti dip the lower part in black? Would look a little like a lip. Not sure how vinyl would go over a rough scrap compared to plasti dip.
