Agreed the other plus for borla is I think if you can get it from the dealer you shouldnt have to worry about voiding your warranty since its a dealer option.

Personally, I went with the Borla UEL headers first. Then Injen intake, and Perrin headerback exhaust. Then Visconti tune.

but those are what I liked. You should definitely search the Technical Topics and see what mods would feel right for you. I decided by sound and power for the exhaust, and I knew I wanted a UEL header, because I think a boxer motor should have the boxer burble.

Congrats!

Some relatively inexpensive mods that will improve the looks of the FRS:

1) 2 inch shorty radio antenna or sharkfin antenna

2) Tom's or Crystaleye taillights

3) Clear sidemarkers

4) Larger exhaust tips

This man speaks the truth. The clear side markers alone make a WORLD of difference. Add a shark-fin and viola. Magic car.

I have found that looking at the thread of what did you do to your FRS today:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11036

And member journals:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40

are a great source of ideas for what you may eventually want to do to your car.

There is a wide assortment of things and prices that one can do.

Personally, I have only gone with low cost mods: Tint, exhaust tips, Console plaque (to fill the divot in the console where the heated seat switches would be (if the FR-S had them)), LED lights for the dome, trunk, license plate, and reverse lights.

Just keep yours tasteful, otherwise, you might want to put your flamesuit on.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. I found there are plenty of DYIs that you can mod on your car. So, take your time to read the DYI section. I learn a ton by reading there.
