Good job!

Good looking kit.

I can't seem to get all the pieces to add up on their confusing (at least to me) web site. How much did all the pieces cost?

I have a white FR-S also, how do you think that body kit would look on my car ..... since it is NOT lowered??

Maybe dumb .. ??

You might have too much space between the ground and front lip. The rear diffuser would be fine.

I just measured my front lip to ground clearance and it's about 3" all around. The height from ground to top fender (splitting the rim in half with the measuring tape) is 24 3/4" (front) and 25 1/4" (rear). Give you an idea where I'm at height-wise...

Thanks for measuring and the pictures!

ya, I think it wouldn't look "right" at stock height ..... just sorta sticking out in mid air ....

But I do like what you did to your car!

I put a shorty nub antenna on it a few weeks ago. Not feeling the shark antenna :-/

Trunk liner might be nice. Did you get one and where/cost?

Yep, I got one a while back.

http://subaruonlineparts.com/subaru-...er-p-1337.html

It really finishes off the trunk, for those who spend a lot of time back there.

Also, it acts as a sound deadener ..... so I have convinced myself ....

i was gonna get a trunk liner, but i think you get a bit more space in the trunk without the liner to squeeze luggage and other things.

I thought about that too, but the most I've had in the back of my trunk is a set of golf clubs. The most important thing

Well, there, subiestyle ..... the lid liner really doesn't take up hardly any space ... since it's only about 1/4" thick. However, you do lose the access to the space between the bracing and the lid cover ..... in case you plan on rolling up your worn underware and socks and sticking them in there.....

It has been my traveling experience, after 88,000 road miles in a miata, that if you're packing more than what you can get into the "back seat" and trunk in a FR-S ..... I suggest you're taking too damn much stuff ..... just have your traveling SO leave all those dang shoes (except two pair) at home and see how much more space you have .....
