What bugs you the most about the rear?

For me it's the lights, but the all red options fix most of it. Fake diffuser and twin tips are my second complaint, but not a deal-breaker. And I wouldn't get a factory wing. Terrible.

Pudgy but at least it won't rattle and creak like the Spyder, whose chassis groans as you drive over a curb and rattles when you hit a bump. I hear that it can be mostly fixed for like 300 dollars with some extra reinforcements, but I doubt any amount of bracing under the car can make it as solid as a real metal roof.

Basically the lights, but in particular the shape of the housing. It's just so incredibly ugly, and it's not modifiable. Actually I was driving alongside this brand new WRX the other day in severe traffic and damn that car's rear end is ugly too.

I would if I looked like a super model. But I'm not. And I'm self conscious.

That's true.

I thought about posting the photo but its only of us posing. It was immediately after the photo did things get crazy. lol

Spend it on travel so you can learn that first-world problems don't have anything to do with skin color.

Lol sounds good. You fixed it. That's all it matters.

So, I installed a header (it's awesome), and I'm eventually going to do the rest of the exhaust, BUT, I don't know if I should get a 3" catback or a 2.5" catback as I really do want to go turbo eventually... However, turbo is a lot of $$$ so it might be a while before I take the plunge, so do I get a 2.5" for now to keep sound levels down? Or do I go 3" to plan ahead and save myself a little coin down the line?

Decisions, decisions...

Yea well, when I walk to my MR2, from any angle it looks exotic, if not good. The FRS just looks plain ugly from every angle but straight on from the front, and since it's a car that moves forward, that's the angle that basically never gets seen.

I disagree strongly because of the front view.

I used to think that, but then I realized it kind of looks like a Porsche ripoff from the front. I've had multiple friends think it was a Porsche looking at the front actually.

I would get a 3" and a tune, especially since you have a header. Can't wait to get my OFT..

If it had the same era Celica front, hardtop option and 2ZZ/6M, I think people would've forgotten about the Supra and the twins would never have been made.

Such fantasy.

Much repeat.

Wow.


Heh...
