What size did you order? I might want to do this.

I saw those wheels on tire rack a while ago, they looked pretty sweet. I would go with those, but I'm pretty sold on getting some pink ones.

Car looks good though.

Looks sick. You've got a badass looking ride.

Wolfking · 01-23-2013, 01:09 AM

As old as this posting is, I don't remember seeing car before. I knew those wheels were hot! The pic sizing is a little ridiculous, but who's perfect? Well done!

Post pics of how you insulated the panels to make the stock speakers sound better and reduce the road noise. Would be nice to know what you used and cost

In addition to what you see, I got tired of hearing all the road noise and ended up pulling the door and rear panels and insulating them, along with the entire trunk. What a difference it made! Not only for the road noise, but the stock stereo sounds so much better now!

Now, on to finding the perfect exhaust...

OP, I must say, your mod looks a lot better than some of the ricey mods that other FRS owners do. Looks real nice! (except the wheels)

Where did you get the lip? Wondering if there's a BRZ version of the lip.

I'm still hoping to see that flip down front license plate mechanism. I think that's a great idea.

Very curious about the insulation

FRSGT86 · 01-23-2013, 11:07 PM

I like the bit of red on the black wheels, breaks up the black nicely, but then I've never been a fan of all black wheels any way, except for the hyper-black which to me looks almost like black chrome.

The red accents you did on the interior look good too, again just enough to break up all the black.

Job well done, sweet looking ride you got there!

Dadhawk · 01-24-2013, 11:46 AM

Great looking exterior love the black accents, and the wheels.

I have to agree with the others, not what I would have done--but executed very well.

Me too, ever since I put a sub in my trunk I've been thinking about good ways to insulate & stop the rattles.
