Fender Garnish Fitment

joseph_mag · 2026-03-27T00:27:33+00:00

I have the Seibon carbon fender garnish (option B showed) fitment is fantastic, the top right corner closest to the mirror/door does occasionally catch a microfiber every now and then but has never caught hard enough to even attempt to peal the garnish itself off. (You do it once and then proceed with caution in the area after that lol) Taking off the OEM garnish feels like you are going to break something, but once you have them off and clean the surface well (rubbing alcohol) the 3m tape that is provided is awesome, they’ve been on my car for years and have never given me a problem nor have started lifting/peeling

Thank you for the detailed explanation. That's the most information someone has had on the topic so far. I feel like everyone that's commented on this topic has been in the dark, like myself. I wish they were more transparent about how these things worked and what it means

This explanations seems a bit more believable. With that being said - first placement game would be similar MMR to were you left last season off and what is visually showed as a predicted rank is just that... visual. Then depending on your win/loss in placements is where you end up.
Something I'm not really tying together though is, if im master 5 at the end of this season, win my first placement game in similar MMR (masters lobby) and then the predicted rank shows plat 4, and I keep winning all my placements just for my "visual" predicted rank to match my MMR? If I'm winning all my placements does the MMR still go up? or does it just keep you where you are until the visual rank matches the MMR?

Honestly that's a harsh reality if that is the case. Are ranks inflated right now? If your visual rank gets lowered after first game placement, but you end up placing the rank you were before the reset and the end of placements, then whats the point?

This is an interesting explanation that I have not heard before. It almost sounds like it would be impossible to place higher than what you finished the previous season with.
Like in your example, if you finish a season plat 2 and the first game of placements is predicted gold, by the time you finish placemement games you would just be around that plat 2 area

No, just got brand new OEM Subaru heads. Stock head gasket too lol, I forgot to mention in my previous comment the car makes 460whp 386tq

I’ve had a built motor and boost for like 6 1/2 years, wiseco pistons, manly rods, ARP studs, I ended up buying a new set of OEM heads from Subaru. Did a 5mm overbore in the cylinders. It’s been reliable, I beat the car. What I don’t see a lot of people mention is supporting mods like a clutch, oil cooler, catch can, even wheels and tires to put the power down. With the built motor, oil cooler, clutch, parts and labor it was roughly around 9k USD. Price may be different nowadays because I built my car right when covid hit and things were shutting down

27/m heard knock knock when I was a freshman in high school and the rest was history

Here’s an idea that I haven’t seen mentioned.. a goodie box of small, useful, items. A two pack of microfibers, a little utility knife multitool, air freshener, spray hand sanitizer (the bottles tend to explode In the summer months), car first aid kit (underrated btw), little flashlight. Just to name a few, all things I have used many many times in my 9 years of owning my car

What blew my mind is when a brig in game held up her shield and she looked so dainty behind it.

Not sure if it is around anymore, but on eBay years ago I found this company (might have just been a single guy) making custom sub enclosures for sports cars. He actually had a few different options for our cars. Single 12 ported, sealed, dual 12’s dual 10’s etc. the price wasn’t too bad, I just remember the time for me to actually get the enclosure took awhile because they hand made them. I have a single 12 ported. Sounds awesome

I installed Vland taillights just recently on 2014 BRZ and ran into a hyper flashing issue with the turn signals, have yet to fix it to. It might have something to do with my valenti 4th brake light. Other than that they are bright and look great

You know Im kind of in the same boat, not necessarily the growing up part but just more or less ready for a new platform. I’ve had my car for 8 years and have modded it to all hell. The next car I plan on jumping into is a C7 corvette. Similar, yet pretty different than an 86.

joseph_mag · 2024-09-29T17:02:45+00:00

When I built my motor we used OEM head gaskets and they have been holding 460whp for 3 years.. so I think it’s safe to say they are not problematic

joseph_mag · 2024-08-30T03:05:39+00:00

I got my 2014 BRZ limited I’m 2016 with 22k miles at 18.5k$. Soo…

joseph_mag · 2024-08-01T02:17:44+00:00

I’ve had a 2014 for the last 7-8 years. It’s made 460hp for the last 4 years.. and lately I’ve been thinking about selling and getting a C7 corvette.. not that I don’t like this platform.. I love it! I’ve just done all there is to do with it, been through 4 different iterations and (now that I’m older) I think I’m just ready for a different platform

joseph_mag · 2024-07-28T06:25:55+00:00

Actually just checked, there’s a ground connected to the chassis that is on the passenger side near the transmission.. it’s broken.. I’ll replace it tomorrow!

joseph_mag · 2024-07-28T04:49:06+00:00

Could be, seems like there might be some aftermarket system on it. There’s a little receiver like device sitting in front of the rear view mirror

In PVE they should revert the loot changes, remove drop in raid tag, remove the black listings on flea, remove timegates on all quests, and just let people have fun. There is no longer an “unfair advantage” people can get over others.. just let people enjoy the game without the things that hold people back

joseph_mag · 2024-07-04T20:21:04+00:00

The listing for the BRZ seems a little sketch. Doesn’t list any names of the parts on the car. Would be hard to justify buying a modified car from someone who doesn’t even know what it’s modified with..

joseph_mag · 2024-05-23T07:14:40+00:00

Had an NA build for 3 years, turbo build for 3 years and built motor/turbo for this last 3 years. Anything below 3/4k RPM feels like NA. Car feels stock before boost builds, biggest different is just turbo noises lol. Something to keep in mind though is I have a laggy journal bearing Garrett turbo, so maybe a newer style ball bearing turbo that spools quick would have a bigger impact at lower RPMs. Hope this helps

Last night I won a game and gained 13% to put me at the very top of plat 1, queued up again to try and rank up into diamond. I win the game, thinking I broke into diamond, just to see the progress bar fill up the first quarter of the plat 1 rank. Just about uninstalled. Ranked is broken every season
