I can't remember the sales persons name, but they were all really nice and the experience was great!

Check out: www.raceseng.com for the shift knob and r lock out. They are also running a group buy deal. I'd jump on it fast! The r lock comes in different colors too :-)

Well, *LongFella ....... the coilovers look good ...

Since I have a whiteout, I'm trying to envision what a black top would look like.....I just can't quite see it ...

How about a picture when the project is finished ...

I'll try to get to the roof tomorrow and snap a photo. When I was getting my tint done, I had the guys stick a piece of matte and gloss black vinyl on the roof to compare and the matte just looked better since my emblems and rims are matte black... we'll see...

Got an Ultra Marathon to run Saturday so my mind has been a little focused elsewhere... Those coilovers should have been installed already... shame on me... lol

Very Tasteful Mods, Very similar to the ones I plan for my own future FR-S.
Clear side marker lights to replace the orange ones.
Toyota Badges
LED interior and License plated lights ect.
I do have a few questions though. First, what kind of spoiler is that? Is that OEM? The spoiler I am familiar with is the one with side winglets that go beyond the trunk hovering over the 3/4 panel. This one seems to not have it.
Also, those little lights under the headlights above the fake vent. Which kit was used to make them HID? Was it included with the headlight HID's?

Thanks! I'm definitely trying to keep the mods tasteful!

Check out my garage for the mod breakdown and details. Might help answer your questions :-)

I see, It appears Vicious LED will soon be a friend of mine. I have no history with vinyl wraps, but I do trust 3M. Are you pleased with the vinyl and recommend 3M?

Never had a problem with 3M 1080 vinyl before. Used it on my last toy car (BMW) and it held up just fine.

I'll be wrapping the roof this weekend so I'll let you know how it goes ;-)

Fair enough, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of your car. Let me know if you have had any issues with your products. Many of them will most likely find their way on my car it seems are taste's are inline.

ST Coilovers are finally installed! Need to make some adjustments though. The a@@ is a little low and the front is a little too high...
