Agreed. I like the contrast. Car looks great. When I first clicked on the page and the photo popped up I thought at first glance that the car looked like a modern Datsun 240Z. That is not a bad thing!

2" shorty antenna by Perrin.

Barely noticed a difference in street driveability. It is still very comfortable. These springs are matched up well to the stock dampers. I wasn't expecting it to be harsh. I do expect to feel the difference on the track.

I noticed more of a difference when I put the RS3's on...

Never thought some starfish rims would look good on the FRS/BRZ. You have just proved me wrong!

With rims I have always followed "simpler is better". I have bought 3 sets of 5-spoke aftermarket rims so far. They are also easiest to clean.

New pics!

What I liked about the Supra back in the day is they looked great in 5 spoke as well.

Modified my new center caps accept the stock scion emblems. @Mach V Dan

That is a LOT of wheel weights to get the balance right. I once had a rim balanced like that and it turned out I had to get my rim repaired. Once repaired and balanced the amount of stick on weights was vastly reduced.

Car looks good though. I like that you didn't murder it out.
