Winter is starting to roll in here so probably not too many upgrades over winter but the Five AD S7 wheels are already picked out with tires and just waiting for me to say yes.

The Evasive Downforce front and sides will be soon to follow. CANT WAIT!

I think it's the sunlight that's putting the excess contrasting light on the exhaust from a waist high perspective. I think it looks good from underneath the car.

Looking really good, FR-Shadow!

What ATL_BRZ said. Please don't quote a post and keep all the pics in it. That's really annoying to have to scroll through them all twice, especially on a netbook with a small screen (like mine).

Thanks and yeah I'll post the picture I used. The pipe can be seen when standing behind the car but with the car being lowered and the pipe there with the massive tips I've gotten a lot of compliments in person on it and the sound gets just as many compliments.

Have to ask what you paid for the heated seats and any more info you can give me on them.

If I can I'd like to get the same installed on my car before delivery.

And how is the ride on the S Techs compared to stock?

Kilzod 12-20-2012 12:11 PM
Liked! Nice and clean car bud, looking forward to seeing the end product!

The heated seats were $500 installed from the dealer. They put the switches on the side of the seat by the lever. This way I could have the plaque in the center area. It is also very stealth like then.

Also the Stechs I think are very comparable to stock. They give a tad more than an inch drop. I test drove a stock FRS and a S tech dropped FRS before my decision and the fact that they seemed similar is what made me want to purchase them. They were also $500 installed by the dealer. Warranty is through the dealer as well since they installed them. They also gave me a free alignment a week afterwords to give them time to settle.

These came in earlier last week. These carbon fiber mirror covers will be a nice addition to my carbon fiber Evasive Downforce lip kit. :thumbup:

Decided to black out the headlights and turn signals. I also completely painted the side markers black. Pics are kind of crappy it was dark out and the car is super dirty.

Painted the pipes of the Takeda exhaust black to have a more stealth look. I also drilled holes for the bottom bolts of the rear license plate to get my tinted plate protector on.

It wasnt bad at all. Just take your time if you take everything apart at night, let dry over night and replace everything in the morning you will be driving by noon at the latest. Its basically just unplugging stuff and un screwing bolts. The only thing i wish i would have done was paint the shield for the projector to make it a demon red eye in the daylight. But since I didnt I dont really want to pull them back apart in fear of moisture getting in from doing it too many times.

how did you get the plastic rivet behind the side marker out? i cantt figure it out...

are you talking about the one in the wheel well or the one directly behind the side marker that attaches the bumper to the fender?

rivot in the wheel well- just like the other three that are on the edge just turn the wheel to get back there

rivot behind the side marker- take off the side marker first. Its super easy just put a flat head in there and pop it out slowly. You can then see the connectors and see where you need to place the screwdriver to put pressure to release the clips. Once that is out of the way you should see the rivot no problem

It should just come out with a small flat head screw driver. Try your finger nails maybe.

I just spraypainted over them completely with gloss black. I had some left over from blacking out the headlights and I figured why not.

I also pulled the bulb from behind it just becaues the side marker doesnt do anything but light up. If you keep the bulb in light escapes around the sides and it just didnt look good.
