It's their warehouse/fab shop, but they're very cool about stopping in and buying stuff. They are the best!!We're lucky they're so close.

That's great. I came across their site and was browsing then noticed they were in Des Moines. I was so excited! Haha

I didn't realize either that they were in DSM. They have a lot of stuff on their site! Think I found my new favorite place!

Definitely. Great selection and comparable prices from what I've seen so far. Haven't heard a bad thing about them either, which obviously is a big plus.

Saying Hi from Des Moines. Had my BRZ for a couple months now but hadn't posted yet. I agree with what you guys said, FT86 Speed Factory is awesome, nice to be able to stop by and see stuff in person.

What color did you get? Any mods yet?

If you guys are interested we should definitely set up a meet once the weather gets better. I could get my buddy to come and bring some friends too probably (he drives an Evo VIII)

I have a 2013 sterling silver metallic. Only mods so far are some weather tech floor mats, a Blitz drop in filter and some winter wheels. I decided to by some alloy 16's rather than go with steelies. Previous owner added a shark fin antenna and some Perrin tips.

For those interested in meets, are you guys aware/members of the Iowa Subaru Club? Monthly meets the first Wednesday of every month. I don't go too often anymore, but that's mostly due to being out of town. Plenty of Facebook banter as well.

Kryptik319 · 01-12-2015, 09:39 PM

Haven't heard anything about them actually. Where do they meet?

rolltide · 01-14-2015, 12:20 PM

I had not heard of them either. Did a little searching and found some old meetings but didn't see anything recent. Have you ever gone?

I've been a couple times last summer/fall. Always felt a little out of place, more of a WRX and STI crowd. Rwd just doesn't fit in with most of the Subaru crowd.

The location changes every month, and it's all done through Facebook. Sent you guys PMs.

It definitely seems like more of a WRX/STI crowd. Of course, there are 5 times as many of them sold, and a decade more of production.

I've been a member for years, and sometimes I feel like the new guy because it's grown so much. So, I can see where someone new might feel out of place. Especially if you don't know anyone. Which is why we need more BRZs/FRSs(?) to show up.

But, there is a TON of experience/knowledge there. And I've made some great friends and had a lot of fun that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Just spotted a black FR-S in Oskaloosa, no front plates. Any of you guys?
