Thanks. It's all the little things too. I used the G2 paint and painted my emblems too.

Yesterday I ordered the aluminum badge that fits inside the indent on the top of the console. Mine will read FR-S and below that will be the last six of my vin #. I also ordered the new (and improved) armrest that is as much a total lid (cover) for the large opening in the center console as it is an arm rest. I came into the FR-S out of a Miata and I liked the neat way the Miata lid made the entire center console look clean so I have been holding off on an arm rest till I could find one that did the job of cleaning up the cluttered look rather than just partially covering up the hole.

I had 3M clear bra paint protection installed to the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors today. I'm pleased with the results. Image 1 Digital Graphics in Millbrook Alabama performed the install.

Installed Eibach Sportline Springs, ride is great, very little difference from stock.

Installed the Subaru trunk lid liner and e-brake handle.

Installed the JB Autosports Alcantara shift boot.

Removed sound tube, used Gatorade cap and rubber plug. Cabin noise is much improved. I was getting a ticking noise, almost sounded a solid lifter noise in the cabin. Without the sound tube, the ticking noise is gone.

subwoofer

I installed a subwoofer box fully loaded with 12" sub and amp inside the box! Sounds amazing! Not competition, but for everyday beats, it's a great deal.

My first sub install and it went very well. No wires showing inside the cabin, only in the trunk. Gonna get a short wire tubing to make it look cleaner inside the trunk. Only downside is it take up almost 2/3 of the trunk, and only fits in the middle of the tunk + 40lbs.

But it sounds AWESOME!!! The stock speakers aren't bad once you use it for a while, they're mellowing out and sounding pretty darn nice. When I first got the car, they sounded tinny, now it's hardly noticeable. Check out the DIY section for 'chri's subwoofer install' for help if anyone is interested.
