Nooob!

I think you can find the meets on the ny sub forum. If that's any help

Those wheels aren't bad at all. The white on the wheels, I'd reconsider.

I like how your car looks man, I think it would look great with a front lip and side skirts that have black accents, since your car is white.

Good luck and have fun!

I wish the white on the wheels color matched the car, that may come in the future. And what NY forums would the meets be posted on?

Thanks man! Have you seen any in person? Can't tell if I want to get the sti trim or carbon fiber trim. I'm always afraid of getting some cheap knock off

[NWFRS]

Yup!

So far:
Perrin 2" shorty antenna.
JDM clear side-markers.
Optima sealed battery.
TRD cold-air intake.
"FR-S" de-badge.
OE mudguards.

Future plans:
Saddle brown leather seats with red stitching.
TRD cat-back exhaust.
Unichip tune.

Welcome to the group @kylethomas23 .......

I think your machine looks just fine....

I'd suggest you spend your "mod money" on gas, food and motel rooms and take a driving vacation,when the leaves turn ......

At the moment I have spyder tails and third brake light ordered and a kartboy shorty ordered. I've been debating the Perrin 3" resonated with Perrin overpipe but would love to see/hear in person. So I really want to be able to check out other builds before I do mods myself. Are there any meets around the area? I'm willing to travel but to an extent...
Here's a pic of my beauty as she sits now!
Any comments or opinions are welcome!

Hi op! Congrats on the new car! I'd agree with a few of the comments but I'll elaborate!

I'd definitely go with some mudguards: I personally have the rally armors and they were an easy install and super high quality.

Full LED swap: the stock halogen bulbs on the interior and exterior are ugly, a full LED swap probably wouldn't be more than 50 bucks for some stage 2 or 3s from @diodedynamics

Taillights: the only thing I have to say that is ugly about the stock frs are those god-awful tails, I'd personally go for the Red Tom's or some buddy clubs, or if you're feeling adventurous, the Crystal eyes, but I don't know how high quality those are.

I can't see how flush your wheels are but if you're not planning on getting thicker wheels, I'd go for some wheel spacers to put them flush to the fender, it makes look a billion times better.

New hood and trunk lid spoiler: now granted this is a gonna be over 2k total between paint and parts, but VIS racing has a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler that replaces the trunk completely, as well as a vented hood, both if they were tastefully paint matched would look sick as fuck. Those are what I'm doing anyways!

And lastly, at least in the looks, department, are a shark fin antenna or shorty antenna, and also some springs! Make that bitch aerodynamic!

Good luck man, keep us posted on what you do!

Thanks man! The attached images are the tails and third brake light which have been order(back ordered) but will be coming withing the next month or so. The rims now are 18x8 but could use .5 - 1.0 inch more space. I'm glad you like the rally armors because that is probably the direction I'll choose to go. As for the hood, I'm not a huge fan of hood scoops. I will look into the trunk, I've never heard of the one you mentioned before but its worth a look!
Also, do you have anything going on under the hood or interior wise? I want the car to look clean as fuck when the hood is popped and the doors are open. I could really care less about how fast it goes, I'm all about looks and sound.
Thanks for the input!
