NWFRS’s 2013 automatic FRS.

Welcome to my 2013 automatic FRS in asphalt. My first new car and my first auto. It’s been super easy to live with and has just over 30k miles as of fall 2023.

The car is mostly stock but I've removed the FR-S badge from the trunk-lid, installed OE mudguards, TRD cold-air intake, JDM clear side-markers, OE Subaru trunk-lid liner, Optima sealed red-top battery, TRD frameless rear-view mirror, Perrin 2" shorty antenna, OE Subaru silver dash panels, Katzkins heated mahogany leather seat upholstery with contrast red stitching, 16” Konig Oversteers in Opal, and Yokohama YK580s.











Only pic I have of my black ‘74 gt coupe, right where I found it, just before I took delivery for $2500. The white ‘77 was my daily driver in high school, purchased for $1000 in 2001.



Previous cars:
1949 Studebaker Land Cruiser.
1970 Fiat 124 Sport Spider.
1971 Pontiac Firebird Esprit.
1971 Toyota Celica ST coupe.
1974 Toyota Celica GT coupe.
1977 Toyota Celica GT Liftback.
1977 Toyota Celica ST coupe.
1992 Toyota MR2 NA 2.2L.

Previous bikes:
1974 Honda SL350
1978 Yamaha IT175
2003 Suzuki SV1000S

Hey thanks for the support, guys.
I've had this vision for my car since I got it.
I couldn't be happier with how the seats turned out.

Nice wheels, I'm not a fan of multi spoke but these may change my mind. Could you take a pic from behind to show how the tire width looks?

I like the seat. Are they just recovered originals or is there more to the story?

Went to the website but it is kind of vague about what they sell.

At $2000 I would say they are replacement seats
