Sidnacious' argento FR-S
What's up peoples! Been posting my slow progress on instagram. Finally got a chance to upload some pictures. Excuse the iphone quality of course. Enjoy!
 June 12, 2012 - This is the day I found Oliva (after Oliva Munn) on Cars.com during work. Right after work, rushed all the way from Irvine, Ca to Redlands to handle. First thing I did when I walked up to her. Hello there.....  Right after work the paperwork. About to drive her off the lot!!!  June 14, 2012 - First fill up.   June 15, 2012 - First car wash.  June 20, 2012 - 1k already! I couldn't wait any longer, break in period DONE!  June 29, 2012 - My first Mod, thanks Beatsonic!  July 2, 2012 - Front and rear Toyota emblems. The front was a biatch  . Thanks Carson Toyota!    July 10, 2012 - Got my side markers from Nigel@jdmparts.com!  I didn't even know the japanese ones bulged out. Reminded me of the jaydum 180sx side markers. VERY NICE touch!  Also UPS dropped off the Perrin plate relocator(I haven't even received my plates yet!). Thank you! You guys are sick wit it! Both goodies installed   More to come.....

Beautiful car! Looking to get mine next Spring.. Argento or Raven.. but Leaning to Argento. Always loved Silver. BTW How much for the clear side markers? I like the way they look but are they street legal? How difficult are they to install DIY? I may be getting Rims, spoiler and a few other things before I get the car.. This way I can catch up to all you guys right away..lol

Thanks. The side markers are $99 dollars, I got them through Nigel(he has a thread in the vendors classified). The passenger side was gave me problems, took me 30 minutes to get it in. The driver side took 1 minute. I assume they aren't legal if you don't change the clear factory bulb to amber. Though I'm sure California laws are different, maybe even more strict than New York. |

After!!! F - 24 5/8  R - 24 7/8   WOW how I am amazed by how easy it was to install coils on this car. Easier than a s13, s14, ae86, na miata, nb miata and maybe even the eg/ek civics. The hardest part was making the rear height even (fronts were no issue because they are maxed out). The drop looks PS to me hahaha  Victory dinner, mines in the one in the back

July 30, 2012 - A little SoCal flavor for Olivia.
July 31, 2012 - Plates came in today : ( my baby's no longer a baby. Also took off the fr-s emblem. Much cleaner IMO. |
