The chances of getting your warranty voided over springs are pretty low... unless you usually get your springs from rust buckets in junk yards.

That's where dealers make real profits.

Considering you don't get to keep the stock wheels that extra price $64.75 per wheel to 'upgrade' doesn't sound out of the norm.

Congrats to Toyota for every sucker they manage to trick into buying these ridiculously overpriced parts.

But the "Halo" looks like it's covered in nicotine, at least from the pics. Love my Whiteout.

To get the configurator working, only some zip codes will work. 14850 worked for me but 78703 did not.

You try and paint match your whiteout yet? I promise, you won't like it then If halo doesn't have the pearl, for the first time, I am bummed I didn't wait for the 2015

Edit: Googled the color, it is supposed to have a $395 price tag and will be a pearl. FML

If that's for the set, i'm pretty pissed that wasn't available last year.

I'm not "crazy" about those new trd wheels, but i like them a zillion times more than the regular ones.

I went into the dealer to buy a white FR-S, but walked up close to one in that color the first time and noticed the pearl white finish and went home with red instead. I'm planning on having it for a long time and it's just a matter of "when" I need to touch something up and realized the white was not going to be a good idea, long term.

I get a bit sad every time I see a great looking white one like yours, but I just couldn't do it.
