So there are six of us, any others? May be a few out there not part of this forum. Anyways, congrats to you again and enjoy the ride....

Mines Raven, Batmobile status lol. It's an AT though, I think the first AT in Vegas, yea yea lol. I got it when it had 8 miles, but it's around 50 now. Gonna drive it a lot more over the weekend when I'm not so busy.

Planning on changing the headlights in a few days and also putting on some tints.

Anyone considering a Clearbra for their car? And if so, where are you going to do it? I kind of want to but I'm not too sure if its worth the cost.

I'm considering doing just the full front bumper and headlights. Mike at Eco Tint does it but right now they don't have the template for the computer to cut the film precisely. Mike quoted me $400.00 for this package which I think is pretty good. I personally thing it's worth it because if you don't have it done it will look like the whole front bumber got sand blasted. Mike had several inquiries from other FR-S and/or BRZ owners as well and told me he is trying to get the templates asap. I wish they were open on weekends but they are only open Mon-Fri 8am-6pm. Contact Mike at Eco tint and see what he can do for you. They also do tints for the windows and lights as well.

On your headlights, are you changing the whole headlamp units or just the bulbs in the projectors?

Does the $400 include installation? If so, I'll be getting it from him. Wasn't there a group buy going on with the tints?

I'll contact Mike this afternoon and see what he can offer.

If I can find a good HID kit, I'll definitely be going that route. Otherwise, I might try Skoodges route and just replace the stock ones with some Sylvania Silverstar H11's and see how that goes. I don't expect those H11's to last long though. In regards to the housing, I'm going to wait until they get a bit cheaper to buy.

Thank you FR-S teve702

White one.

viper_driver · 06-01-2012, 03:52 PM

Just spotted a whiteout FR-S 6sp manual at Nellis AFB this morning. I pre ordered one over 6 months ago and this is the first time I've seen one in person--finally! I would have driven to CA to see one and it just happened to be sitting 50 yards from my desk.

What a beautiful car!

My first impressions.
-it looks really small, the back seat is almost non existent
-the wheels are much better looking than I expected, super nice wheel/ tire setup for looks anyway
-the roof looks more aggressive in person
-the back end of the car is perfect, my BRZ limited spoiler is going straight to the rubbish bin

Verge · 06-03-2012, 10:33 PM

Do you guys know if there is any whiteout frs or brz.available here in town?

Nope, they're all gone. You're either stuck waiting or getting a different color FRS. Good luck finding a BRZ anywhere.

s1monn · 06-06-2012, 12:51 AM

viper_driver · 06-06-2012, 07:24 PM

Centennial has 5 FR-S in stock. 3 red, 1 black, 1 orange. All the other dealers in town are orders only.

I almost got an asphalt from Desert Scion today, the preorder guy backed out. It was for sale for all of an hour before someone else got there literally 2 minutes before me as I was turning into the lot. Guess I'll have to keep waiting for my BRZ...

When will those physically be at your lot? I'd like to see ultramarine and argento in person. Thanks.

TuxedoCartman · 06-08-2012, 01:55 AM

So who was that I saw today in Henderson, over at the intersection of Pecos and Windmill? I love my Whiteout, but damn that Firestorm looked hot!

Jayp · 06-08-2012, 08:48 AM

Wow, it seems the Las Vegas area is getting a lot of FR-S'. Demand here is definitely high lol.

Nice to have ran into you =D

LOL... I just felt like an idiot, because I was trying to figure out where I knew you from; took me a whole minute before I recognized the car you were driving, and by then you were turning!

Next time I'll give a proper "Hello fellow enthusiast!" wave, instead of the "Umm... do I know you?" wave. LOL..

Wish I could be there but I'm registering my FR-S at the DMV when they open at 8am. May be next time. Take pictures and let us know how it was over there.

TuxedoCartman · 06-10-2012, 02:24 PM

So here's a question for the Las Vegas area locals: where do you go for "spirited" driving? The only two areas I know of that have roads with curves are Red Rock Park (which is too crowded with pedestrians, bicyclists, etc...) and Mt. Charleston (which also has its fair share of foot traffic, combined with way too many rocks on the road).

So does anybody know of a good twisty section that's not populated anywhere within a 150 miles of here?
