It looks like I'm going to have to get FRS since its not marked up and under 25k...
I just don't like the scion badges makes it not worthy of the legendary Toyota heritage.
I'm going have to do a complete rebadge!
I have an frs. I love it. But on the other hand. I miss some of the lux. I was driving my girlfriends loaded maxima before the 86 and I never realized how much I missed heated side view mirrors, steering wheel, and seats.

I rebadged mine. I feel like I get more attention. its funny how some people don't know that scion and Toyota are the same company.

Originally I wanted a WRB brz but if I end up getting the FRS I will probably get the red or white color.

I like how Rene's red FRS turned out below!

Wentworth Subaru in Portland doesn't markup. They do staight MSRP. I have a limited and love the extra goodies it provides.

I have a noob question. I was looking at some body kits websites for prices on carbon fiber rooftops and stuff and when I went to play with the shipping estimate calculator and typed in a Portland zip code. It said that it doesn't deliver to Oregon? The warehouse is located in Utah. So it can't be the distance. I'm I missing some information?
Does Oregon have no body mods rule or something? Sorry for the ignorance.

I think it was just a mistake they made, there are no laws here that would prevent a bodykit from being shipped to an Oregon address.

Ok awesome what a relief Darren!
Hey sorry to bug you Darren but a member advice me that it would be better if I move my wish list thread to the "my car journal section. Which I agree, I dot know why I didn't thinked of that when I posted it. I've been googling vbulletin how to's , looking for how to transfer a thread to a different section but I don't seem to have the privileges. Can I bug you one more time to move my thread " 2013 wish list " to the "my car journal" thread, thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about Oregon, but in WA a new car is exempt from emissions testing for 5 years...

In Oregon you need to pass emissions every time you need new license plate tags. When you buy a new car and get whatever plates the dealer gives you, they are good for 4 years. If you get custom plates, they are only good for 2 years. Emissions here is just them plugging in their cable under the drivers side to see if it's within specs so keep both cats (header and downpipe) in your car unless you want to swap out the catless with the oem cats each time you need to go to check emissions. Also both cats are better for the environment and also make your car quiet as it supposedly gets way too loud for daily driving without any cats. Sport cats are the best of both worlds in my opinion as they pass emission tests here and also increase performance.
