I believe Norman on this board got one for his wife's FRS.

There are two small hole to fill and you will require a heat gun or blow dryer a lot of patience and some goo gone "not goof off". I would suggest painting them and putting them back on. The frs symbol is the only badge that doesn't have any holes behind it if I remember corectly.

They said 5-10 days. I'm still debating on doing a track day before the install to make sure my engine is rock solid before I throw away my warrantee since it only has 7000 kms on it. Gonna be tough to look at knowing it could be under my hood!

I was going to do it with a couple buddies but I guess I will be stuck paying the tax over the border, it might end up being the same price if I drive to the states and have it installed there... So many decisions!

I'm 6'4, and I would say that's the limit

Depending on how upright you like to sit. I sit fairly upright, and my head is at the limit. There is a lot of leg room, but my seat is touching the rear seats, so forget about putting anyone in the back. The back seat is for children only, and even the person in the passenger seat is squished when someone is sitting in back.

I hear they have a really bad rep with poor quality, looking for alternatives if possible

Also, heads up on the exhaust, I hear the Evo3 loves to rust
