Any info on the tail lights? Did you paint them? What product did you use?

I am not a fan of the 5AD body kit, other than the trunk spoiler. It looks cheap and doesn't flow with the car. Also, it doesn't appear that you matched the white of the car to the kit properly.

Looks good, bet it looks better in person. In pictures it's hard to see the black wheels on a white car, but it's fantastic, what's the retail on that, extra $10k minimum I would think.

The lines of the kit cause light issues because the light hits at a different angle and it makes it look like the colour doesn't match. White (especially pearl) is very hard to match though. Even from the factory it isn't perfect, the bumpers are a shade off from the fenders/hood. The kit had to be repainted once to get them closer, since the front/rear lips matched the body and not the plastic bumpers. Even if you look at this picture, it's painfully obvious that the factory tow hook cover is a different shade than the rest of the bumper:

Still like I say, the way light hits white pearl can change the way it looks quite a bit, and with the Five:AD kit sitting out from the car and with the lines of the kit it makes it look bad when it isn't. Seeing the car in person gives a better feel for how the colour matches. It's not too bad. Still, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the FR-S does not lend itself to body kits in light colours, in my opinion.

Why no shark fin?

Body kit is atrocious...not the color so much as the fact that it just looks really tacked on...other than that it looks sweet!

I'd like to know about the tails and more pics of the speakers in the dash too please.
