Can someone link me to LED light for the one inside please. I'll swap that, i dont like the yellow light..

jeebus · 09-06-2012, 12:25 PM

as others have said, don't mod it. Go learn to drive at some AutoX events, defensive driving courses, etc. 200hp may be slowish by today's standards, but it's fast enough to kill you quickly.

Easy mods:
-Tint windows
-Get new exhaust tips
-Swap out dome light, trunk light, reverse lights, and license plate lights for LEDs
-Swap out front, side, and rear turning lights with Stealth Chrome Amber lights
-Get Beat-Sonic Sharkfin Antenna
-Get a rear Spoiler
-Get clear side markers

Little things I can think of right now..

just go to the marketplace forums below there are lots of mods for you to think about

All of you giving advice on being a good driver and shit, you're wasting your time. No 17 yr old is going to listen to strangers on the Internet. Let him wrap his car around a tree, best lesson ever.

Very nice, love this car in black. Congrats

Turbowned · 09-06-2012, 01:32 PM

High-performance driving school, autocross, track days. Learn as much as you can. I wish someone gave me this advice when I was 17! Instead I kept wasting money modifying my car instead of bettering myself as a driver. I didn't make it to my first event until I was 21, and I had some natural talent thankfully, but there was a LOT of catching up to do compared with the kids who started young.

The FR-S is a slow car for a fast driver. Your best "mod" is to become a fast driver.

Good luck!

The FR-S is a FAST car for a SLOW driver. Your best "mod" is to become a fast driver.

Good luck!

Fixed for you

When he gets out on track he'll realize it's a slow car. Hence why he needs to become a fast driver to fully exploit it.

kappaknight · 09-06-2012, 03:02 PM

Sorry, but I'm going to hate. I honestly don't care that his parents bought it for him (most likely). Age isn't what bothers me as I'm sure there are some die hard enthusiasts who knows a ton more than me at 16 or even 14. I do find it annoying he can't even spend a slight bit of time to read through the forums or do search. There's a wealth of information here or if you want a short cut, go to the vendor sub-forum and pick out what's available.

If you don't know what's available, or even what you'd want to mod, or even why you'd want to mod it, just leave it alone.

KRAZYK · 09-06-2012, 03:05 PM

LMAO "take the rear seats out"... I doubt this 17 year old is turning their brand new car into some track rat.. leave the seats in and enjoy the car. Take some time to find what mods YOU want. That being said.. debadge is an easy one, HIDs are also a good first mod.

xAgentzero13 · 09-06-2012, 03:57 PM

RUN 93 OCTANE ONLY!!!!! Don't be a cheap idiot. Cheap gas! Sucks Ass!
