Welcome! Where are you located and post a pic of your FR-S when you get a chance

btw it's never too early to start modding your FR-S, check through the classifieds section if your looking for some upgrades

Welcome!

This thread is awesome, everyone here is friendly and offers good opinions and ideas.

Just curious where did you buy your FRS? ( I own a BRZ)

Are those like the knee padding that 2014 models get?

And I got crikcets on Husky 94 now. Not really loud enough to bother me though.

It will be a close variation I'm sure or simulated leather look, these are from JPM and are made with alcantara

I would stick with Shell, if you want a higher octane, just throw in some octane booster

Ok here are some updated pics of my Seibon wing. Worked non-stop yesterday and today until completed. As you can see from the underside of the wing, I opted for a nice neoprene gasket all the way around to make a nice seal once installed and of course protect the paint on the trunk from any abrasion. It was very time consuming cut and fitting the gaskets, but once I was satisfied with the results, I then used 3M spray to apply everything. Also took a shot of the trunk to show sealed holes that won't be utilized by the Seibon wing. Don't be fooled by the round grommets in the trunk, they appear to have a hole all the way through, but are completely plugged on one end, they were left overs from the Toyota OEM armrest install and served quite well for this as they were a nice snug fit. Onto installation, the outer screw holes on both ends of the wing lined up perfectly with the trunk holes and fitment is very close to the OEM wing. Very happy with the results!

Enjoy!

2 hours after owning my car a truck slammed on his breaks and I ended up running into his tow hitch and damaging my bumper

I,ll have to wait to post post pics till its fixed in a couple weeks.... Worst luck I've ever had.

Also I'm from North Regina with a black fr-s, you'll see me with the cracked front scion emblem for now :s

Oh man, I hate hearing these stories. Hope it's all fixed soon...

This might be a good time to source out a after market front bumper. I would imagine it was be just as cheap if not cheaper than the stock bumper. I would look into it, unless you love the stock front end ?

I plan on winter driving so I'll probably go back to stock so it doesn't change the ride height.
Speaking of winter driving do you guys know what dimensions a 16" tire can be to fit the fr-s? I used to have an rsx and I'm going to check the dimensions of its winter tires to see if I can use them with steels.

Going with a different front bumper won't change your ride height, sorry I don't winter drive, if I did, I would use the stock 17" rims with some nice grip rubber

[SkAsphalt]

16" are a tight fit - look into the wheel threads because there are some talks about 16" rims there

generally it is a 16'7.5 and +42 ish. also 5x100 (duh)

but keeping it on 17's always helps with the ride height (if you stick with high profile rubbers)


oh snap! I forgot something JPx, dat spoiler!

Seibon Carbon Fiber Spoiler OEM BRZ Model: RS1213SBBRZ

Here's another update to the Seibon wing. I removed my STi gurney flap from OEM wing and attached it to the Seibon

I also had a few goodies show up from Rexpeed! The Vortex Generator came with all 3M strips for installation and they even threw in a full roll of 3M tape if needed. Got to love Rexpeed, dealt with them a lot in the past when I tricked out my Lancer and they were always including extra's in all my orders.

I've never been a real fan of CF layovers no matter what quality. I'm usually not 100% satisfied with fitment or if you don't attach correctly the first time, then your trying to remove a thin piece of CF with strong 3M holding in place. A real pain to remove and if your not too careful, you end up with a damaged layover

So it's nothing but direct replacements for me!

[SkAsphalt]

Rex speed makes those eh? looks great! I am considering trying to do real carbon fiber wraps of the existing pieces myself (like Doggy) maybe this winter!

Is that a vortex roof spoiler? very nice!

I like how your spoiler now does a GREAT job of accentuating your rear diffiusser and spats.

I figured out how to install my OEM audio+ sub so I hope to do that sometime this week or the weekend. Quite excited for it! Just need to stop by princess auto for some cheap wire taps, etc. HYPED

Thanks! Post some pics when your done...

Yeah everything came from Rexpeed. Most of their CF are direct replacements, but they also carry some layovers. My next order will be a direct replacement dash piece directly right of the stereo and steering wheel insert
The Vortex Generator will fit both FR-S and BRZ, you can get it unpainted in black or any color of choice at no extra cost.

Only thing now is I don't think my Beatsonic sharkfin will fit right on the Vortex, so it looks like I'm back to a Perrin 2" Shorty
