Much like the exhaust, still debating on which one to get. Not a huge fan of large gt style wings, mostly because I just don't have the power behind it.

Kind of leaning towards the SARD wing. Need to get my RPF1s and new Tires first though.

Finally decided on a spoiler, just went with a TRD rep off ebay. $170usd painted. The fitment is spot on and the color match is perfect. Super pleased with it.




New wheels should be here in January as well, currently rocking it in winter mode on the stocks.

Started my interior work, starting with some carbon fiber wrap! Never attempted vinyl before but I am super pleased with how it turned out!

So I decided on a change of plans, was going to buy some RPF1s in bronze, but the Canadian economy sucks so bad id be looking at close to $2000 for a 17x9 set.

I ended up ordering some XXR 550s in Bronze - 18x8.75, will be mounting some 245/40/18s on then (brand tbd).

Lots of travel plans in the new year so spending over $3000 on a wheel and tire set just does not make any sense.

Should be pretty pleased with them though!

It was an HIC rear roof visor. http://www.hicusastore.com/scion-frs...isor-frs-13-15 - I've since removed is as it was super annoying when driving as no water would come off the back :p

Picked up a MTX-D oil gauge and vent pod, and after a huge ordeal involving wrong wires, a dropped, many frustrating hours, and cracked TRD sandwich plate (which I didn't notice until oil shot all over my engine bay) and the quick shipping from rally sport direct on a new beatrush plate I finally got it all working and sorted. HUGE THANK YOU to @malave7567 for the super deal on the gauge, and his incredible patience on helping to get it work.

Also got a cusco pedal for christmas Loving being able to attempt heel and toe downshifts now.

That sucks about the dropped and cracked TRD sandwich plate. I liked that little piece, lol.

I'm glad we finally got everything squared away for you.

Do you remember the vendor of the spoiler? I'd love to get one painted for that price!
Thanks!

@BDotG really digging this. It's funny, I hate the canards when you're looking at it from the front, but from every other angle, they look so good. Everything about this build is perfect. So simple.

Thanks! they are definitely not for everyone, and I totally agree from some angles they look weird, but they make the front end so aggressive.
