I did like them on the Rev Works car. However, not CCW's.



The wheels, rather the fitment/finish I want them in are out of stock everywhere - the U.S. master distributor doesn't even have any and won't have any until the end of this year.

To fix my spoiler (or lack thereof) issue, I just ordered a TRD rear trunk spoiler from japanparts.com

Considering the price I was able to get it for painted and the seemingly lack of availability of the 5axis and Stivo spoilers (and some potential fitment issues), opted to spend a few more bucks to get something TRD.

I wasn't particularly fond of drilling into my trunk but I met someone local who has it on their whiteout and did the install and said the install wasn't that difficult.

Washed the FR-S today. Ordered wheels today. Hoping to get them before the end of the year.

Still waiting on shipping information for the TRD spoiler. So much for overnight parts from Japan.

As it turns out, a set of the wheels I want were in fact available at Enkei USA and will be here tomorrow. Much better than the 2 month wait I was expecting. Pictures will be posted. I'm so stoked.

Just ordered 265/35/18 Michelin PSS to wrap them in. Discount tire direct is AWESOME. They price matched Sears, who had them for stupid cheap. However, not having to pay sales tax and having them shipped to my door with discount tire + supporting an awesome company. Their customer service is amazing.

And my TRD spoiler just made it stateside. Currently at JFK airport apparently.

Lug nut shopping at the moment. Project Kics R40 lugs leading the race but they are a bit on the pricy side. Can't decide between black or neo chrome either. Hard to find many pics of cars rocking the black chrome R40's. Help!

I'm usually in Doral/Kendall.

I still go out to the Dub Cartel meet on Wednesday nights at Sports Grill in Kendall to hang out with a bunch of friends that still drive euros - vw's, audi's, bmw's etc. I used to own a VW R32. lol.

I've been out to London Square with this car once, on a Thursday night. That's about it really.

I know there is something that happens up in Broward (Pembroke I think?) on Thursday nights as well.

What about you?

I went out there once, in my previous car.

I felt a little bit out of place, granted, I was in a VW at the time. There seemed to be a lot of speeding/street racing taking place on the road adjacent to where the meet was. Felt like a heat up.

I think they've changed the concept of that meet. I saw a flyer a little while ago that said something about them wanting exotics and supercars only or something.

I'm sure someone may correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Nice car dude! What lips/sideskirts are those?

Nobody goes to Turbo Tuesday anymore after they closed it out to supercars.... They had to do it to keep ricers off and turn the heat down, but it kind of died it down a bit.

This is my car BTW, I live in Kendall.

That lip is one of the few that is made for FRS/BRZ so you can get it too (different bumpers).
