Thanks bud! I lucked out. I basically bought it sight unseen. I asked them to send me pictures of ANY defects, and when he said there was only 1 and it was a small scratch in the rear bumper I almost did not belive him.. Low and behold I got to the dealer and me and my wife went over her with a fine tooth comb and not a single problem with the entire car..

Which is impressive considering I paid under book value for what it is from a dealer.

And you got $2K worth of nice add ons that don't void the warranty as well. I am a big fan for the TRD exhaust and the springs give a nice practical drop.
I considered looking for a 10 when I got mine but they just didn't exist up here at that time (and I do like the Lava better).

The exhaust is louder than I expected. I bought a header for Sylvia the day before she got smacked and Was looking at getting the ZETA exhaust or possibly even the Q300/TRD used given I heard it was rather quiet..

The springs drop the car the perfect Height. I bought RCE yellows thinking they would lower slightly better for sylvia but they never got installed. I was originally going to GET TRD springs till I decided to save up enough for a really decent set of coilovers.. and they make the car feel a bit more predictable. Really happy I got them with the car.

If you haven't already done it make sure you plug/delete the sound tube. The TRD exhaust sounds way better from in the car without it.

@Shady195, obviously I missed your accident thread. Very sorry for your injuries and loss, but glad your family wasn't aboard.

I'm not an attorney, but if in the same circumstance wouldn't sign off on anything yet until your injuries are documented by a doctor and you're promised compensation. A small claims court civil judgement (limit to $5,000 there I think) would help recoup your financial loss from pain and suffering assuming the other driver was 100% at fault. See what your attorney says, it might be worth pursuing.

I'm still actively engaged with my lawyer regarding medical.

Thank you :-)

Hi I just got my FR-S 10 series however, it did not come with the exclusive cargo mat.
Can someone let me know its part number so can order it?

Congrats on your 10 Series. Post up a badge pic and you'll be added to the Registry.

Any Scion dealer can get the part number for you. It's been my experience from owning other limited edition Toyotas/Scions that you'll need to provide your VIN to the dealership before ordering.

Had the TRD Exhaust/Springs and fog lights as a dealer installed option. Also came with WeatherTech Floor Matts. Car is super clean with one small scratch on the very bottom of the rear bumper, has some touch up so you can't even see it unless you're on your hands and knees.

I am so in love with the color, even more so than my whiteout.
Congrats! just got mine a few months ago. I grew up in Schenectady, will be up there next weekend visiting family and friends. Also will be having the trd springs and sways installed by a friend and attending the solo events may 30,31. Already have the exhaust. Stop by and we can get some side by side photos.

Any more details on the solo events? Have been looking to do an autocross. I'll be doing a drift event Friday, would be fun to get some autox time in as well. Give me a shout regardless when you're up here.

#1748 is for sale in Columbus, IN, if anyone is looking for one. Great car but moving overseas and can't take it with me. Search Indy Craigslist for details.
