Opti-guard & Clear bra, that's the first thing I will do to my FR-S. Protect my investment. Tint if you don't have it, protects interior.


After that I will probably do shark fin or shorty antenna. Maybe OEM Audio+ or better headunit/ipad conversion. Other than that, maybe a decal or two if your into that. Vicious LED license plate and interior lighting set, suits the car better IMO.
4th Brake light adds a nice little personalization, also Vicious LED.


After all that I'm going to wait until powertrain warranty ends and its all Boost after that.

I've heard that it doesn't take much time for them to either short out or literally melt because it gets too hot. Then again, that could have just been a crappy brand, but it seems like trouble I wouldn't even want to attempt to get into. I think a better investment is just a new set of after-market headlights, but that just me.

You know. I didnt even think about that. I was also worried about whether or not condensation would form. Which would annoy me so dam much

Yeah - I think the halo pieces them self are a nice option but realistically don't work out well in the long term, and even arguably the short term. Honestly, when summer hits/end of spring you will be seeing prices drop decently for some headlights.

In fact I have had my car since March 2013 - I have yet to buy any aftermarket rear or front lights, and have seen prices drop $50 or so, which is pretty nice when you consider tax and shipping are added onto everything.
