Talking FReSh's Raven FRS

I was originally planning on having my car around March 28th, but got a call from the dealership saying that it had come in early.

Picked it up that day, March 20th, with 7 miles on it.

I will continue updating this thread as I work on my car. Cheers.
Mods so far:
Opti-Coat
XXR 530 18x8.75 +33
Continental ExtremeContact DW 225-40-18
Rally Armor Mud Flaps
K&N Drop-in Filter
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
OEM Camber bolts
Smoked Side markers w/ Amber LED's

Plans:
Fatmat sound deadening (maybe)
Small powered sub (maybe)
HID's (maybe)
JRSC (eventually)

Edit: It looks like all of the pics got messed up (dang FB!), but a good album is located here: https://www.facebook.com/YerDoinItWr...=photos_albums under the Dan's FRS album.

Thumbs up OptiCoat and Tints!

I took a drive down to Hillsboro to visit @Greg Gellas and Lee Berbs! The results speak for themselves! 35% Madico tint and an Opti. Even got a thumbs up from some dude in an SC300 on my drive home.

Agreed. There was a BRZ at the shop today in the grey color with the spoiler. Made me happy that I went with black and no spoiler. It was still super nice though!

Just ordered some XXR 530 18x8.75 +33 in chromium black from next level motoring. They're out of stock at the moment, but I can wait... Need to decide on tires soon. 225-40's or 245-35's (or even 235-40's?). Once the rims come in, I'll get tires, the Eibach Pro kit springs and the camber bolts for the front and get it aligned to ~ -1.5* camber all around. Should be sweet!

Here are some pics from a cruise:


It was fun trying to keep up with a modded C63 AMG with my stock fr-s in the twisties, I was pretty close.

Wheels came in early. Should have them installed by the end of the week! I ordered a set of Continental ExtremeContact DW's in 225-40-18. Can't wait to see em mounted up!

Those wheels look killer, especially on a raven

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure I'd like the color of the wheels on the black car, but I think it came out great. I put some rally armor mud flaps on today since the tires poke a little bit and I don't want dirt all up the side of the car... Here are some pics:



I also went for a little cruise and did some exploring. I found this road:


Cheers!

I'm working on it. My bank account is suffering though I think springs and camber bolts should be soon to come next month.

Finally got the Pro-kit and camber bolts installed. Pics:


Its a little dirty in this pic since I just got back form a mini road trip...

The springs ride surprisingly well. I haven't really noticed a difference from stock honestly. It has a little bit less body roll too. All said and done, it looks much nicer, so I am pleased
