Incomming Photo Bomb! Thanks Nathan Mino for the photos, These were being worked on 4/24/12

I'm sure you've had enough, so.. 2 more. The white one someone requested, and all of them.

Oh well that's cool I guess. Can always come back to the dealer for install later.

Yeah it's getting harder to wait now lol.

Also, I think this has been mentioned before in this thread but, having not driven the car with the stock suspension and tires it's hard to tell how much of the awesomeness was due to the TRD + Yokohama mods. I'm willing to go out on a limb and assume it's just as awesome stock. How else could it garner such positive reviews almost universally?

Now all that's left is for me to get off the MT vs. AT fence!

Dang, so many colors on those gauges. Hurts me eyes!

You can always tell when the manufacturer sets up an auto-x type test track like this...

They use WAY too many cones!

Didn't like the gauge lighting in pictures or video, but when seen in person at night it looks good - much prefer it to the red used in the Subie.
Headlights look OK on lighter cars, and good on Whiteout IRL, but there is a bit too much bling in them for the darker colors.

Even if the stock ones are not just as awesome, if all it takes in some springs and sticky tires (mods I would do anyway) thats not that bad of a deal

Would have been nice if they had used a layout similar to what the D.C. SCCA region uses. Putting a freaking narrow lane of cones with one every 6 feet is a joke. Especially at an event where people are supposed to get a feel for the car. A course like that clearly says to the participants we don't want you to explore what the car can do.

Damn, I have to wait til next month for the FR-S drive event to come to Foxboro Stadium!
