Thumbs down for being so insecure you gotta put someone down for something you don't have the same taste for.

Hardly. HUGE Fan of the Rocket Bunny FR-S, just not the RICE factor that follows these cars.

Are you planning on rocking a huge GT Wing WITHOUT Tracking your car? If so, then that's the definition of RICE (Race Inspired Car Enhancement).

There is no definition of RICE. Its a a derrogeratory term thought up by those who dont like japanese cars.

Opinions are like a**holes everyone has them and they all stink. Lets not trash this guys build thread huh?

Oh, no. I not bought the kit with the wing so I could get it faster. Also I have the option if I want to to put it on. I have a separate trunk lid to put it on so I can swap those without holes in the trunk.

I'm trying to make the car as factory looking as possible. I'm goin. To blend the fenders in when I get it reprinted in a number of years, but that won't be for a while (hopefully). I'm also going to paint the entire cf hood and most of the trunk lid (excluding the portion around the license plate similar if not exactly like the forgestar lava orange FR-S).

Trust me, I'm not much for rice either but I just completely fell in love with the kit. I want to make this build as clean as possible without being obnoxious.

Dear lord, I despise apples autocorrect sometimes, I tried to go back in and edit that last post but it won't let me. Meant to say that "I only got the kit" and "repainted" as opposed to reprinted. Sorry for the engrish, guys. (Engrish was intentional)

I'm sure you have every intention of keeping it clean, and I apologize for bashing your build. I've been following these cars since the beginning, and they've done nothing but bring out the same group of asshats that ruined the DSM Scene, so I'm a little bitter. Seems like every thread is about who can go the fastest, or have the best stance. Very few on here can call themselves "Enthusiasts".

I completely understand. I actually talked with Robert Kochis about his build (istaycrushing) and although I love it I don't like how low it is. He told me it would look like shot wothout a proper drop but I beg to differ. I've only dropped it one inch and I honk it will be enough. I think "stanced" cars look cool but I wouldn't drive one. If you notice my WRX in the driveway it's actually lifted about an inch. I'm more of improving the cars handling rather than speed. I love the car to death and think its great how it is. I have guys come up next to me wanting to race saying its a "weak car". They've obviously never driven one before. Isn't the stoplight warrior but its the just fun I've ever had driving. More fun than my previous M3. Getting this car made me fall in love with Subaru. So I sold the m3 and bought two subarus! Lol
