Wow, and the black housing or lightly tinted headlights go hand in hand with your new paint. I know a guy that dips locally in my area too. Except he goes for vibrant colors. The aggressive rear diffuser definitely looks on point with some aggressive looking rims.

Are you still rolling on the Megan EZ coilovers?

If so, how have they been holding up?

Debating whether to go with EZ or LP...not sure if the difference is worth it since my car is a daily driver.

Thanks in advance!

I do dips as a side job and have done some vibrant and pearl colors. But for my own car I wanted to do something conservative for the time being. And thank you!

Yup I'm still running on the Megan EZ's, around 20k miles on them I think. They're holding up great as far as I can tell, I'll keep an eye on them.

I believe Dipyourcar is actually located in Coral Springs in Florida. You should definitely take it there if you want it done right

Love your car. Especially the interior, how'd u change the colors of the of the buttons on the center console and the clock. I hate the green look LOL. Is it hard to do, any chance of you writing up a DIY.

The Megan's made a big difference! I really like how your car looks with them on. I was thinking about getting some and was wondering if you could tell me how they ride compared to the stock suspension? I have a is350 so i am not sure if we had the same suspension stock or not. Thanks

You have to know how to solder and desolder very tiny lights. And when I mean tiny I mean like half the size of a grain of rice. There were a couple DIY's on here that I used but it's been a long time since I've done it.

They ride stiffer than stock but not harsh at all. Very compliant, so much so that I would not recommend megan EZ's if your car is going to be really low

Love the transformation your car has made. Really need to learn how to dip my car, properly. It's obsidian, and while I love obsidian, I want to go with a more nebula gray.

^Hey, nice new Toy you got there! I've been looking for a new ride myself and of course the BRZ/FR-S are in the list. What makes this special edition different? Factory lip kit and dual exhaust? Any upgrades to the suspension, drivetrain, or powerplant in that special edition?

Give me your thoughts and opinions on the ride coming from the Lexus...positives and negatives.

What other rides were on your list and why the FR-S over the others? I've got a Club Miata, Genesis coupe, and the long-shot 3-series Bimmer on my short list.
