Horrible blind spots, no real sense of speed which was dangerous at times, and no automatic lights which also got me into trouble.

I would've been safer in my FR-S, I swear. I also only saw two twins the whole week, so I would've been able to drum up so more interest if I'd had brought it with me.

Also my Raceseng Reverse Lockout and Tug View with GoPro mount arrived. Waiting for the Slammer to arrive before I put it all on though.

not to be a **** but... my fr-s has the worst blind spots I've ever experienced, and theres no automatic lights either :P

Not with wide angle mirrors and the third rear brake light moved to the top of the car. Also make sure to properly align your mirrors.

Even with the mirrors adjusted in the Rogue, it had some horrible blind spots due to the seat placement, rear pillar locations, and the trunk / rear window styling.

Also my 2015 has a sensor that turns the headlights on when it's dark out. I got too used to it and nearly forgot to turn them on for the Rogue.

I had to drive 500 miles over the past two days for work and I was able to take my FR-S. I'm just now at 4500 miles!

Your pics aren't showing up.

Assuming it is the TRD lip spoiler, I want that one so badly. It only comes in Whiteout preprinted, though.

tekFRS234 · 02-28-2015, 05:16 PM

We've has some cold, wet weather lately and they've put salt on some of the roads. Bought new car wash supplies and the FR-S a good bath. Also checked fluids, etc.

INstalled a bunch of the black interior trim. Got really scared taking out the airbag. Fuck that noise.

I got my first "hand washed" car wash. It's was too cold to do it myself. For $11 bucks, I'm impressed. http://imgur.com/a/O0jRr

Also, discovered a windshield rock chip

I'll call my insurance to get it fixed next week. At least its no deductible and will be free.

If you set your mirrors correctly, this shouldn't be an issue... I don't even shoulder check anymore because 1) I don't play hockey and 2) the mirrors pick up everything from my shoulder back

Installed my smoked LED side marker, switchback bulbs for the front turn signals then got her washed and waxed. Ordered LED bulbs for the fogs.

Encase yourself in a dome of mirrors for maximum visibility
