Then there is 5axis which can be factory matches and easy install. Not really a fan of the Scion OEM spoiler but it is growing on me after seeing some of your guys/gals photos.

On another note I saw a thread that the 2014 FR-S is getting knee pads. Might wait out to see if these are cheaper to order via your dealer than JDM option. Jpmcoachworks currently doesn't have simulated leather speaker surrounds as option (possible mistake on website)

My spoiler had some cloudiness from shoddy paint work. I took it since I wanted the car sooner than later. You can only see it if you're looking for it specifically.

As for the knee pads - I sent a MSG to jpmcoachworks asking about the leather option. I also wanted to know if had more padding than oem because I think stock maybe insufficient or my bony knees. I haven't heard back from them yet

Good to know its only taped. Then I can change it when I'm bored of it.

Check and make sure the real TRD rear spoiler isn't made like the OEM/USA one with two bolts molded into it which requires you to drill holes in your trunk.

I know the real TRD rear spoiler uses bolts but I'm not sure how the bolts install in the spoiler maybe one of the members here knows.

Yup, chirps since 500 miles or so. At 900 currently. Still lots of chirping.

No chirping for me yet. I'm at 2100 mi. I fill at shell or BP both close to me.

If I get them damn crickets with the 10 Series FR-S, Scion isn't going to like me @mush.

Yep, started at 200 miles running Chevron 92, 10% ethanol. Read that some were having good luck with Shell 91 so at 1,400 miles switched to their 92, 10% ethanol, no change after one tank. Haven't driven the car in over a week waiting for new brake pads, hoping for the best late this week.

i tried exxon and shell, pumped atleast 2 times at each station because i needed gas and it was convinent... thats when i started hearing the chirp, went back to chevron and it went away

My crickets on my 10 series started at 1200mi. I use Shell 92. It comes and goes now, but I am waiting to see if a more permanent fix comes out in the next month or so. I hear the new pump does not fix the problem long term.

how have they not fixed this??????

One year ago a forum member said this:

"It looks like the engine chirping is now a TSB and fixable under warranty. Unfortunately, it's only for the FR-S at this time."
