Unsustainable's Raven FR-S

So I picked up my FR-S in November last year and since then I've been having a blast . I found this forum in January and since then I have probably jumped on it at least twice a day every day. So many helpful, knowledgeable, and awesome fellow owners. Hopefully i can make it to one of the meets in Irvine one day to actually see another FR-S or BRZ. I've only ever seen 1 other FR-S on the road around here.

I thought I would share some pictures of my FR-S. It's still completely stock at the moment since i've been busy with school and stuff, but i've ordered a few parts that i'll list below as well as a long wishlist for the future. I'll update my thread as I get my stuff and install it.


Pictures taken by my photographer friend


Probably should have taken the parking pass off. Oh well.







Installed:
-Perrin Catback Exhaust Non-resonated (thanks teamczp)
-Center Console Plaque (yospeed)
-Five Axis AD rear spoiler (Tustin Scion believe it or not)
-Beatsonic Sharkfin antenna (FT86speedfactory)
-Cusco front and rear strut braces with MC brace (genome tuning)
-Crystal Smoke side markers
-Fog Lights
-Rebadged
-Door sill garnishes
-TRD Intake


Incoming:
Greddy CF Hood damper kit



Wishlist:
-Enkei Raijin or M52 w/ Ventus V12 225/40 (this has been the hardest decision of the year)
-KW V3 or Fortune auto 500 coilovers
-HID kit
-LEDs for DRL, license plate, side markers
-BRZ fender garnishes

Perrin Catback exhaust installed! I was tempted to just pay a shop for the install since they didn't charge much, but I ended up doing it with a friend in an afternoon. Damn those hangers are annoying, but besides that, it was pretty simple. I highly recommend you do it yourself if you're curious about how your car works.

In the end, GREAT SUCCESS (hopefully no leaks)! It sounds and looks awesome! I'll have a video up later because I know i was looking everywhere for them when I was trying to get an exhaust.





Not as clean as my original post pics, but I couldn't wait to share lol. Clean car pics tomorrow after a wash.

Cusco strut tower braces have arrived!



Here is the front bar installed:



and the rear one:



Pic of the master cylinder brace:


The bars look awesome in my opinion. I like the blue color it throws in the engine bay and the trunk. As for feel when driving, i feel way less lateral Gs when turning sharply. Although I couldn't do much testing during heavy traffic times at the moment. Could be part the bars, part placebo but i'm happy and it looks sweet with the polished look. I feel like it does what its suppose to.

Thanks to @genometuning for the bars.

Next up, Wheels! (hopefully)

Got my smoke side markers in the mail today woohoo!




Installed:



Installation was pretty easy once you see where you're suppose to press the clip in to pop out the original marker.

Light on:



Comparison:




I like it much better than the orange marker. It isn't flush like the orange one but that's not a big issue for me.

Where'd you get the side markers, those look even better than the JDM ones!

From ebay linked in this thread.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31968

They shipped fast and they are less expensive than the JDM ones. They have both the smoked and clear ones
