Daily Driver Halo White FRS

Hi, I finally have the car I've been dreaming about for a very long time. Got myself a brand new halo white Scion FRS. I would've waited a bit longer to save up, but I was approved for the 0.9% 60 month finance term so I just had to pull the trigger.

First off I just want to show off the first car I got, which was a Toyota Yaris 2007 2d Hatchback. I might've ended up with a Civic, but my aunt was moving back to the Philippines and she gave the car to me as a gift for college. I didn't do too much to it. Just wanted to get rid of that hideous SUV height so I went ahead and lowered it. Was supposed to change the shocks/struts a couple months later, but 4-5 years has passed since then and it seemed to be fine(I think, lol). All I had on it was lowering springs and some replica wheels. I pushed her during the entire time I had her, and I can honestly say my Yaris held up pretty good. No major repairs or anything needed, just the routinely oil check and other little repairs needed at 100k-120k miles. Sold it for 4k when I found out I was approved for the 0.9% 60 month term.



The day after I sold it, I went to the dealership near my house and picked up my new baby. I live in San Diego and the nearest Halo FRS was in LA so I had to wait the whole day until night to get my car. While I was waiting, I was told the car would be $300 more expensive from what I was originally told because it supposedly had the spoiler on it. Later that night when I arrived at the dealership, it wasn't a spoiler but the stupid arm rest. I ended up paying $300 more for the stupid arm rest, I couldn't even get that mad because I was just too happy that I finally got my FRS.












Mods currently installed:
K&N Drop in Filter
Rally Armor Mud Flaps
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
Ambit RE02 17x9 +35
Michelin Super Sports 235/45/17

Future Plans:
Full Exhaust System
OEM Audio Plus
Koni Sport Yellow Shocks/Struts

I don't plan to do too much at the moment since it's still new and I'd like to have the warranty at the moment just in case for anything. It's also my daily driver, I don't plan to really ever go on the track or do anything much with it. I just like the car because it looks great and coming from the Yaris, when I test drove it I liked it a lot. I have read and watched too many reviews where people complain about the lack of power. I seem to understand that a bit, but to me the car is fast and handles great mostly because I'm coming from a budget car and this is the first time I'm experiencing something great.

Finally received my Ambit RE02s and my Michelin Suport sports.
Ambit RE02 17x9 +35 and Michelin Super Sports 235/45/17.

Also went up to LA and visited Fuzion Teknique for some awesome service.
They installed my Eibach Pro Kit pretty fast and Alex(the owner) gave a really great price.

Looking forward to coming back and getting future mods installed.

Wow it looks so nice, considering these wheels since I might find them at a good price.
