Bought my Frs, waiting for deliverey
 
(EDIT) Last night my girl and I signed the paperwork for her red manual FRS. Total cost after taxes license and fees, including permaplate, wheel locks rear bumper app and carpeted trunk mat $27169. Before taxes, fees and permaplate it was $25150ish. Dealer said they should be finally delivered before the end of next week and we can take it before June first.:D

Gratz! Red is a sexy color!

Hey, your number doesn't add up for the total, I assume your county sales tax at 8.25%, your totol is less than that of the MSRP*1.0825

o crap yeah forgot to add perma plate to the OG sell price. I added it last min because I liked it on my Highlander.

It is an extra clear coat but i think it is more like a urethane or some Sort of plastic. It is really nice cuz u don't need to wax the car. And on my last car it seemed like fingerprints did not show up as much and dirt sorta wiped off. Also makes it more resistant to light scratches.

Interesting. What did it cost?

Also: Clarify the time frame that goes with the "don't need to wax the car" statement.

To maintain longevity in the paint you should wash it, clay it, wax it when you get it. You want to get the rail dust and other crap/toxins that's harmful to the paint with the claying before adding a clear applique to the car.

Judging by a google search, it basically appears to be dealer profit.

Clayrush- Were you the one who said you were getting your car from the Vallejo dealership? If so, did you figure out a way to get them to not drill the front plate holes? When I asked them about it they said it was a no-go.

clayrush 05-20-2012 02:34 PM

doing a little more research, maybe i will pass on perma plate. I liked it on my Highlander, but maybe it was just because it was a brand new car and i thought it was better with it on.

As far as not drilling holes for the front plate, they did not seem game on the idea of not doing it. But i dropped the issue because MY girl decided she rather have the plate on the front.
