Bullitt Mustang was very cool too, Mazda mastered the color red (strange they had a regular Miata instead of the retractable hard top version, ZR1 is the epitome of American muscle even though it's $120K, can't figure out the differences between a Lexus 300 RCF and a 350 RCF, is it just me or were the LED headlights on sale not seem that bright?
Always loved Mazda’s red. Except on my special edition 2012 Miata. It was more copper under certain lighting conditions.

If you hold all 4 paws firmly in one hand I find a cat makes an excellent duster.

I'll venture to say the only cat you could do that with is a dead cat .....

Just a few weeks ago I threw a 1000 watt sub in the trunk. The damn car rattles like no tomorrow and it's seemingly worse sounding without any bass at all! LOL. It'll be a while until I find these rattles.

Nice upgrade! Hope you got a decent trade-in value. I'd probably do the same thing with my '13 with 25k miles but I have all my mods on it.

Thanks! Yeah, I got pretty much max KBB value on my 2013. Any less I probably woulda walked out of the dealership. I never modded my FRS and the tS has pretty much everything I did want to do to my FRS so it seemed right to upgrade.

Today I received a long waited shipment



First time I buy a Varis product and all I can say is that I don't regret having paid such a premium for this part as the quality is top notch. Prepping for painting is going to be a breeze

I even got two JDM Kitkats LOL


Varis Arise-1 side skirts
