Hi Mike,

Not to rain on your parade about your plans for stuff to order for you car but the local guys here have had nothing but issues with the 5-axis kit @digital_assassin and no one seems to like the Bespoke radio as it doesn't do what it says it does @DarrenDriven. Just want you to be happy with your car and not go through the pains and $ these guys already have. The 19" wheels look nice in person but weigh so much it's not worth it. Plus the ride isn't very good since the tires are so thin. Come to some local events and ask and the guys will tell you what's been good and what to avoid as there are lots of options for our cars even after a year.

As for springs, RCE Yellows offer the best function > form and Eibach sportlines and H&R super sport offer the best looks. Eibach Pro-Kit and H&R sport are in the middle. Just depends on if you'll be doing any type of racing or only daily driving/going for looks. Always get an alignment afterwards whenever you change springs.

Hey Mike,

My FRS has the 5 axis body kit and I will agree it is trouble. Now I don't know if it was the body kit itself or just because the dealer did not know how to put it on, they stated they did not. I took it to a body shop to get the body kit installed but still had trouble. I have had the spoiler replaced, and the side skirts replaced twice due to the 3M tape not holding up. I bought my car last July.

The body kit is going to be replaced with a wide body kit later this year so I am not that concerned with it and the dealer is paying for everything but it is still a hassle having your car gone for a week at a time. I don't wont to dissuade you from getting it, just be sure to have it done right by someone who knows what they are doing.

I do have the 5 axis 19"s and I think they are pretty nice. I did recolor them to matte black as the gun metal looked darker online when I bought them.

Oh yes, and about the Bespoke. I have to agree with the other guy who answered your post. I will be replacing that as well as it does not do what it was suppose to do. It is slow to respond and the bespoke nav never worked even after being repaired.

@MikeMan - You don't want the Five Axis kit.
@WretchedMouse - It's not the installer. The kit doesn't fit right. I went through multiple installations with various installers including one of their people on the last install. Lasted a month before it started peeling off again. In front of the drivers door is the trouble spot and all Five AD kits will have this. I've since sold the kit and wheels and only thing I have left is dents and f*cked paint from all the reinstalls.

We have the 5axis spoiler on our car and it's wrapped in CF, it's a really nice looking piece IMO. I can't speak to the fitment of the body kit though since we don't have it.

Thanks Darren,

Hello everyone, I have enjoyed this forum so far. There are lot of things I learn from reading material from this forum. The down side about this is now I need to spend much more money on mods for mine.

I picked up mine on 6/29/2013 with #944 as you might have known by looking at my user name.

Currently, I have installed rydeen duo back up camera on her. Also, fog lights bezels have been ordered from Amayama and waiting for them to arrived as well as subaru outback fog lighs are on their way.

Looking forward to learn lot from all of you soon.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums! A lot of good information here, and we have a good mature community. Yea it tripped me out when I saw your painted diffuser and a painted "stache"! My first words were "who da fuck!?" since I've never seen anyone do that paint job locally. Looks good, which exhaust are you going with?
