Hey all,

I was able to avoid the nasty storm lastnight, sorry for those of you that got some damage. That sucks.

Here is my FR-S Firestorm

So far it doesn't have much

5 Piece Five:Ad Aero Kit
19x8 TSW rims


Looking to have exhaust, air intake and lowering it about an inch at the beginning of May.

I didn't realize last nights storm brought in hail with it? I'm south so guess it missed us. Luckily I have a carport at my apt, which should protect me from most hail, unless its hailing sideways.

That was a nasty storm. Hail missed me in Round Rock thankfully and I'm under a carport.

I know somebody local who was selling an Injen intake a couple of weeks ago. I can check if it's still available, if you want. It was a good price.

Looks like I'm the only one that got hit hahaha. Well that's good news. Hopefully the insurance will take care of everything.

I was also right in the epicenter of the Hail Storm, but luckily I paid extra for a garage space at my apartment so my car was safe. The first bit of hail I heard smacked right up against the window next to my head, scared the shit out of me and then I freaked out about tornadoes.

It was really rough, the hail was...very large.

Linseal, The repair cost is going to be pretty steep, the hood and roof are made of aluminum which is why they are more susceptible to damage like hail.

Here's a pic of my FR-S:

*Top is the night (Jan. 28th) I bought it from Toyota of Dallas. Bottom is as of the 20th of March.
- Window tint, Tein H Tech springs, 5 axis kit is all I've done so far. Bought it with TRD exhaust system, TRD drop in filter, BeSpoke Audio touch screen and OEM spoiler.

Very nice. Your car is well on its way. Reminds me of mine in a way before my wheel/tire replacement. How much did you lower it if any?

Thanks! Yeah, it's coming together 1 thing at a time. New rims and tires will definitely be the next step. I did lower it a bit on the Tein H-tech springs. It says it drops it .8" on front and .6" on rear but I think it's closer to an inch on both. As I went from 4 finger clearance to 2 fingers. With the aero kit, I think it makes it look lower. Very happy with it. Got my HID kit and clear side markers to install after I finish moving into new home this weekend.

Really I'm only a step ahead of you, but here is my setup I'm lowered an inch so you can use that as comparison maybe. I put kw v3 suspension on, rides nice won't be able to really tell fully until I track it. I went with perrins exhaust with front/over pipe. Afe intake. Couple little things. Nice cars and we should get another Austin cruise on sometime this summer.
