Smile Me, and My new Silver FR-S

Whats up guys? Traded in my fairly modified 2010 Camry SE V6 for an FR-S last week:




Been lurking around for a while and decided to make myself known. Im a very avid poster and member over at toyotanation and am into modifying my cars. So far ive got the airaid intake installed and an invidia N1 exhaust comming in later on this week. Ive got big plans for this car and invite you all to follow me in my journey with this car as many members have over at toyotanation with the Camry. Heres the new car:

So far I love the way it sounds. Don't really like how they have the MAF wire inches away from the belt though. Also as a precaution where the crankcase vent elbo screws into the intake itself I put some Teflon tape to prevent "unmetered" air getting into the intake track and throwing a code.

i know youre new to the forum so i dont know if you've read up on it. some ppl seem to be having issues with the airaid (losing power, throwing codes, ect). if its working out for you thats great!

Well I just installed it today and so far it's been good. Only time will tell. Will be returned if need be. Got it from a vendor on here (TAP auto) so I'm sure they'll help me out if any problems arrise.

You've managed to avoid screws holes to the front bumper that everyone on this forum cries about.
Such simple idea. Why not mount it to the back of the front grill, right? No drill holes. Easy and doesn't look ricey off to the side.

Thanks man. Yeah I love the car in silver and have already begun modding. Intake. Exhaust. HID kit. LED license plate lights and reverse lights. LED trunk light and interior lights. Perrin pully on the way. So pumped.
