My 255/35-18 Toyo T1 Sport looks perfectly fine on my 9.5" wheels. I think this is more of a sidewall problem than tire width problem.

If I could get a "do-over", I'd pass on the TRD cat-back.

I wouldn't have bought the Perrin exhaust tips ...... if I would have known I was going to buy a Nameless axle back muffler.....

I wonder if the Perrin tips would fit my wife's Saturn ...... sport that puppy up a bit .....

I will contribute in then.

As I have my VR4 all beefed up, and spent way much on it. All I can really say = I would appreciate Stock car.

There are only a few items I may never regret modding, such as. If I had the chance to do it over, I would do the followings

Rims (Good one only)
Intakes
Oil Filter
Coil Overs/ Struts/ Spring
Exhaust
Seats
Audio system

Beside those Items. I learn my lesson to not mod anything other than that. Waste of money, and Depreciate the car. You will end up selling your car at one point. The weirder you do to it, the more it cost, the less people appreciate, and the more it lose the value.

Well, it was posted in the Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86 section of the forum, not the general automotive. So technically, it is FT86 only.

Wouldn't have bought Toyota emblems, as the Scion ones have grown on me. Also wouldn't have wasted time and money attempting to plastidip my rims..didn't like the look.

Mods I don't regret..my Nameless axleback, mtec shift springs, rexspeed convex mirrors, clear Helix sidemarkers. Absolutely worth it.

DANG, I wish you folks would STOP talking about those side markers .... mine are REALLY looking MORE out of place!

You see, mrs humfrz has an eagle eye and if I replace the perfectly good side markers on my FR-S, she will have to have a NEW purse to match her NEW pair of shoes ..... neither of which are wore out .... just like my side markers weren't worn out ...... TIA

Mine would be the Perrin intake inlet hose. If I had let myself have more patience with the sound tube, I would have waited to replace the inlet hose at the same time as the airbox with my recent purchase of the TRD intake. That all said, I feel the Perrin inlet hose is a great product if you are using an airbox that uses the oem inlet hose and if I were going a different route with my airbox, I would not be regretting that purchase (and regret is a very strong word in this case).

protpibe · 12-02-2013, 07:51 PM

I would of gone with an ARK exhaust instead of the TRD that I have right now.

I might change my mind after I install the Borla UEL header that I have on order

How much do you want for them?

wrxgoose · 12-02-2013, 11:30 PM

i would have started from the bottom up, instead of starting on the engine.

No Brakes · 12-02-2013, 11:35 PM

Although i love my uel header and full exhaust i would rather of spent that money on some coilovers and Z2s for autox

Luis_GT · 12-03-2013, 12:05 AM

So far nothing... I hope I don't regret my Invidia Q300 purchase... which doesn't really match my 3" perrin front pipe... but at the same time, I won't have an unbearably loud exhaust when I get a EL header...
