I've had this Greddy Supreme SP installed for a year and a half and have generally liked the sound, although I always thought it was a little tame/quiet.

Well the Motiv FP has really changed the sound/tone in a good way. It added a guttural throatiness to the sound in the lower RPMs and the exhaust has a nice growl to it now. It reminds me a little of that distinct sound that the 350/370z or G35/G37 have on their stock exhausts - and anyone who's ever heard those cars knows exactly what I mean and can probably identify them by just that unique sound.

Really loving what the FP did for the sound of this Greddy catback. It enhanced it's already good qualities and didn't dramatically add to the overall volume or increase drone.

Owned a G35, miss that stock exhaust note lol

What do you guys think of this spoiler? I think it would look cool in CF. I like those spikes that come down on the back.

Funny, I was just looking at this spoiler earlier this week, though I would paint it. I like it, obviously, haha.

You have the black fender garnishes right? Would look good with those unless you're planning to color match with your body color.

Looks a bit more aggressive as black on white. Looks nice imo.

Yeah I have the CF garnishes, so I think the CF wing would look good also. But It might be a different weave pattern. Is that bad?

Is there a way for you to find out what kind of pattern it has? Either closer up pictures or contacting the seller?

I don't think it's as big a deal if the patterns are different since the two won't be very close to each other. If you were talking like CF hood then maybe it wouldn't be good if they didn't match.

Eh. I think people will know the difference unless you have a rear fog light. That may confuse people. Haha

I think that spoiler is aggressive enough to require some type of body kit. But different weave patterns will drive me nuts.

I would do color match. from certain angles the spoiler looks a little too funky for my tastes in a contrasting color.

Paint it unless you plan to get a full lip kit (either STi or Similar). Then you could rock it plain CF imo

I know I'm very much in the minority, but I really don't care for lips/body kits on the FR-S.

Whiteout is notoriously hard to match though. I don't know if I would trust a shop to get it right.

I don't know why, but I'm on a serious carbon fiber kick lately. I know a lot of people consider it tacky and especially on a white car it just looks like unpainted pieces from a distance. Also the "rice factor" is high, etc, etc.

But, I still like it!

If you feel that way about it then I say go for it! You could probably always paint match it later, right?

There a probably a few shops within 30-45 minutes of you that could match it very well. For sure there is one in Dublin.

But to each their own. We wont judge too hard til you ask about underglow and lambo doors
