I wouldn't exactly call it a fault but one of few omissions that have many reasons such as cost and other factors...

Let's just get over it, as adding one is another something fun that designers left us to do in the quest for personalization and activity. Lol

I just wish someone would make a 3-piece duckbill that spans the whole rear.

Yeah, I never understood why Subaru accessory folks even thought that Pontiac-looking rocket fin wing was a neat touch. I think it's rather weird on any car...

And puzzles me more that such thing was standard on the BRZ making all of them pierced at the trunk after removal of this... When price of the car was so much in concern!

I mean, I think that addition of a standard HID lamp or additional gauges like oil pressure or something would have been beneficial for probably less money...

I'm not convinced an oil level gauge is needed. Drivers really should be checking their oil level at every fill-up.

On the flip side, any performance car really should have an oil TEMP sensor. Even if it's just a light that shuts off when the oil hits operating temp.

I agree, its not really a "fault" probably a poor choice of words. I'm perfectly OK that it doesn't have one (or an oil temp gauge for that matter).

Yep, to hell with the OEM spoiler. I'll have that one.

ESBjiujitsu · 05-21-2012, 08:34 AM

Im a little late but that spoiler setup is perfection with those coilovers!!!! both are a must for me! great look!

Looks like an awesome event, I wish I could have made it.

jedichimp · 05-21-2012, 02:25 PM

Need more pics of that stanced '86 'rolla RC car...

Damn, I missed a good FR-S event. I was too busy getting ready for my Sierras' trip in my 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. I was leaving the next morning at 5 am. I still had fun going 4x4 around Mono Lake and catching trout in the Sierra lakes.

Alright Moto-P Thanks!

How did you get the clear side markers on the bumper already? Where from?
