Team BRG build - 8R6 FRS

Bought the car at the end of February 2014 and almost done building my FRS in two months. Now I'v just been looking for the perfect side splitters and rear diffuser set up to fit my tastes for the past month. So far this car has been the closest driving experience that I had back when I had an AP2 S2000. I had an 08 e92 328i before this car and it was an awesome car and treated me well for a long time, but I missed the rawness my AP2 had, so I finally sold the e92 and picked up an FRS (I just couldn't get myself to buy a used s2k now for the same price i sold it for back in 07 )

Major props to the following shops that have helped me and hooked me up with the parts for my car:
my homie's shop: Inspire www.inspire-usa.com
