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!Attachment 89350Attachment 89351
Mm, those tails are clean! I love em, can't wait to see Em lit up. For the rally armors, dude if you went for the red ones it would clean as hell.

As for underneath the hood, I don't know a ton, but if you don't care about how fast it goes, I'd go for a trd cold air intake, a raceseng lightened pulley set (do your research first though and see if you feel comfortable with it), nd some carbon fiber overlays. That'll make it look very nice, give you a small mpg boost with the CAI, and a bit more acceleration with the pulley set along with the billet aluminum really catching the eye with the carbon fiber.

Oh and regarding the hood, it doesn't have a scoop, scoops are (imo) reallllyyy fuckin dumb and just add drag, it's vented instead http://frs-tuner.skipthediet.com/wp-...d_by_VIS_1.jpg

And trunk lid: tastefully done with paint match would look non-ricey and very clean

Will do! There was an AMP car meet at Clifton park Walmart a few weeks ago and I saw a whiteout FRS parked but nobody was near it. I just really want to get together with other owners and see what they have done

Thank you! I will for sure look into that. There's so many clean looking things to do but I feel like I'm all over the place trying to find matching colors, carbon fibers, brands, etc. I don't want it to look all thrown together like an experiment.

Don't worry about it brutha.. do this.. compile a list and just see what would look good in yourhead, think about it, and then pull the trigger. If you put some thought in it will for sure look good.

I don't have anything done yet. Usually I'm in a bit of a rush but I think im going to wait till after this winter..

What I plan to do..

Winjet Headlights
Either Toms or Valenti's with the White
TRD Springs (Until I get some seat time at the track i don't want to mess with suspension to much, eventually a good set of proper coilovers)
Invidia N1 or the Q300 with Titanium Tips
EL header (I want the smooth sound, I do love the boxer but I think a smoother tone fits this car)
Just a drop in filter, maybe the GrimmSpeed intake if it is as promising as it looks
OFT Tablet

I'll keep it in mind. I guess all I can look forward to is a nice tax return and spring time!

I have a k&n drop in filter and in my honest opinion can't tell the difference. I will be doing most of my upgrades come spring time too so make sure you post some before and after pics of your build! Good luck

I personally like matte black trims, but go with what suits your taste.

I really like the STI kit, but one guy at our local meet got a set of side skirts from ebay for $80 and it looked great; not tacky whatsoever.

Hmm $80 bucks seems pretty cheap... I could never buy that without seeing it in person to actually check it out

Yo OP,

i like the wheels to be honest and think they will look better on the car if lowered. Look into pro-kit from Eibach(about 1 inch) or RCE yellows(about .8 inches)
