Nothing :-(

Still waiting on parts to come in the mail. It's disappointing when vendors say they're "shipped" when in actuality they are far from being shipped... queue sad violin music :-(

However, I did run 10 miles thinking about the parts coming in the mail and when I'll install them. Made training for my race next weekend enjoyable :-)

Make sure you reflect your disappointment in their trader rating. More members need to do that so we all know which vendors to trust over others. Too many people are upset, but don't say anything on those vendor pages, and it allows the vendors to keep up with their shady/stupid practices.

This, the best venders I've worked with here at fteightysix and ft86speedfactory. Both are the only I will purchase from due to this stuff happening!

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

I just ordered a few parts from FT86SpeedFactory and the process was seamless and true. Got a email saying it was shipped with a tracking number! Unlike the "other" vendor saying it was shipped. A week later I call the manufacturer since I wasn't getting anywhere with the vendor and the parts weren't even built yet let alone shipped. I got the run around from the vendor saying his sales rep was not getting back to him... right... Anyways, I'll update the appropriate place/section like Husker mentioned.

Put dynamat in the trunk, rear wheel wells, back seat, side panels and roof. Will probably do the floor, firewall and doors in February.

Test drive showed an immediate difference. Engine noise is 90% of cabin noise at sub-60. Door, engine and front wheels are the majority over 60. Very pleased with the results so far.

Yep, did it all myself. Took about 3 hours, half of which was disassembly and reassembly.

I got the mat off a friend for $50 for 2 full rolls, which is a steal. I'd imagine it's $200 worth of material. I'll probably spend $150 or so finishing the project.
