Led can also be led amber. By law you need amber in turn signals thus people, including me, have switchbacks and I have 6k led amber lights in my side markers. With a firestorm frs I don't want to give a cop a reason to pull me over so I decided to go legal. Yes you can buy illegal white led turn signals but your taking a chance.

Yeah I have switchbacks in the front and they work really well. I left my sidemarkers white though.

Installed my new Invidia N1 exhaust. Pretty impressed with the sound. For the longest time I was indecisive about the N1 and the Q300. I can say that I'm happy with my decision. You can really hear the boxer growl with this exhaust. I'm pretty sure the Q300 does the same thing. But all in all, both systems are good. One thing that's really bothering me though, I've got some leaking were the down pipe meets the Y Pipe.

Finally had the opportunity to take my 10 Series up to the mountains for some spirited driving. Went to Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, and up Keller Peak Road to the National Children's Forest:

Pulled up next to black FR-S in my white FR-S. We had a moment. It was pretty romantic.

lowered? on what?


funny thing happened today
i stopped by the apartments where i used to live (first 12 years of my life) just for memories
walked by a closed garage and heard someone start up a car, i was like WHOA that sounds good! sounds familiar...
so i stopped for a bit and the garage door opens. a stock silver FRS
talked to the owner for a bit, seems like he wasent a car enthusiast
i saw that he had 17k on the clock

Used the FRS as a punting mechanism!

I just got my FRS yesterday.. One day and some raccoon walked out in front of me and I ended up hitting it. Sent the bugger rolling down the street. I got my FRS from the dealer lowered and with the 5Axis kit installed. I thought for sure it would have cracked or damaged the front skirt ........ NOPE, seems the car with the kit on acted more like a scoop and just punted Mr.Raccoon down the street. Sorry lil buddy--------

Check your grill, I hit the biggest jackrabbit I've ever seen and knockd the grill loose because it scooped him up. Two of the clips that hold the grill to the bumper actually broke off.
