The kit looks good, but the cheap ass headlights kinda kill it. That is really the only thing holding the FR-S back from looking totally awesome with this kit.

dont know if its just perception or not but the rear wheels look like they have a slight concavity. i looked up the wheels on their site and they have em listed at 19x8.5 +45, but the rear wheels look to either have a wider width of a slightly lower offset

Hm... maybe. I'm not sure. But that's Jack's show car. Later down the road, he'll have another one for his "personal".

Probably. the one we saw in Long Beach had different set of wheels on each side for demo purposes.

Yea, I didn't notice it in Long Beach until someone else pointed it out. Then I was like "how the heck did I miss that!" Just shows once again, I'm not a wheel guy.

They were running spacers on the wheels at the event (if you notice, they are 5x114.3 instead of 5x100). That may explain why they don't look like you're expecting them to.

According to Myles in in his Racecomp article, the fenders are already rolled. Huge plus there.



Well look at that, my first post in the Forum. Hello people's.

Will they also sell the parts individually or do you have to buy the whole kit?

Looks awesome. I'll probably go for 18" max for the rims and a max of 15mm drop. With that body kit, its gonna look awesome. Just hoping someone designs an awesome set of rear lights as I am still not a fan of the default ones.

What I've seen, the only part that will be separate is the spoiler.

That's only the offset that they list for the FR-S I believe but there are other specs. Someone is selling a +30 here, who knows for certain that they put since they have access to whatever they want.

^^ Correct

I think the kit looks awesome, but might mix in some of the TRD kit. Now to just see the 5:AD kit in Whiteout...
