New FRS Asphalt build.

She's got about 400 miles on her. Purchased on August 3rd of 2013.
Here's a couple quick pics before I get too in depth....

Personally I'm not feeling the wheels (to me it makes the car look like a Camaro). I am very interested in what the rest of your build plans are, do we at least get any teasers?

I personally dont mind the wheels for right now. I think black don't mesh well with asphalt so i was stuck on choice so just went with these. Gonna get a different set after winter. Maybe a gunmetal mesh.

So far ive done.
Complete rebadge
interior red illumination
6K hid low and fog lights
white led turns, license, reverse.
JDM clear side markers
TRD exhaust
JDM rear diffuser
Injen intake
Tein S tech lowering springs
full custom tint.


real tempted for 5 axis kit in spring as well but not sure about the height since i'm down 1.3 inches. I'm in NJ and worried about bottoming out everywhere. It's perfect right now but i fear the kit will push it over the edge and cant seem to find measurements anywhere as to how much lower it makes your front end.

From what I hear the ride is no where as good as Eibach or HKS. It also takes a much bigger toll on the stock shocks compared to the mentioned brands.

whats the specs on these wheels and what size tires do you have?

I think it looks great. I wouldnt want to be any lower either and im considering 19's. If this is what my setup would look like, i think you sold me on it.

Is it possible to install that TRD exhaust as if it were just a tip, similar to the JDM and Euro stock exhaust tips? Or does it require you to replace the entire exhaust system?

Personally, I've dealt with TRD, Eibach and few other springs in my rides and these are GREAT. don't let anyone tell you differently. Granted they still need to settle a tad but so far i am impressed. They were only around 200 bucks for the set as well.

The drop measures out to about 1.3 in front and 1.4 in rear.... which i think is perfect IMO on the FRS/BRZ. Especially if this is your daily driver. I will only be driving mine until november 1st and the garaging till April as winter is NJ sucks balls.

In regards to the TRD exhaust question.... I'm not sure what you mean? you want to cut off stock tips and replace them with TRD style tips?

The exhaust itself will run you anywhere from 1200-144 installed.... but trust me it's WELL worth the invest. this thing screams at 4000 rpm plus.

Yeah I don't really know about the rims but I do like the look of the trd exhaust. Thinking about getting an aftermarket taillights or at least tinting them?
