ditto, the last Gallardo I woulda considered was the 2011? the new body with the manual.

the car is an extension of me is the way I look at it, I want both my feet to be assisting....an automatic is like running with one leg lol...jk

yes, F1/Paddle/Sequentional manuals, whatever you want to call it, may be more quick, it may be more fun for some, but for me, I want the clutch, I want that freaking stick, and where is my kartboy shortshifter? lol

I'm really bummed about the front lip cause I love it, but the paint match is a concern for me. I'm sticking to the "clean" look.

I want the Scion badges on there...I don't care what the name of something is also, I like what Scion means...it's also a lively young brand. oh, and I love the look of the badge lol, subjective....

"FRS" coming off, putting a rectangular plaque that says TRD on it...it's pretty, and covert lol

Yeah, it's very noble sounding.

I was thinking about re-badging mine with the Toyota emblems originally but than I realized that would make me a poser lol

Scion or not, the FRS is a badass car

Only reason I suggested the Toyota badges was supras car far exceeds most with Toyota stuff is all, all the TRD and the airbag etc seems full throttle. But hey I understand some folks like different things. Not so much posing as it is tribute to what this car really is IMO. Sure I know that sparks the "Subaru" stamps on the metal but we won't go there lol.

No I hear ya man, I was originally going to do it because I was like "I dont want to be known for driving a Scion" but I came to peace with it lol.

I mean my SRT Neon has a Viper badge on the front..... lol

I think you'll be happy with its quickness, not sure how much quicker though.

Supra2nv, do you happen to know if the JDM Speaker surround came in one-piece with speaker grill or did you order seperately? I have come across this multiple times on the forum, and no one ever seems to remember the part #s.

Few more questions :P Is there extra screws needed to order? This along with kneepads are something I am considering, but am still unsure if (per side) $44 for speaker surround +$36 for speaker grill + Having to find Toyota screws from elsewhere from Japanparts.com is worth it to have JDM compared to JPMcoachworks $136 for both sides, one-piece items that fit like OEM USDM.
