I can't wait!

I like asphalt/argento with carbon fiber, but matte black would prolly look good with asphalt. Maybe try searching the forums for matte black and see if anything useful come up.
Yep! Check-out this area in the forums: Photos, Videos, Wallpapers, Gallery Forum for lots of pics, etc.

I love my Asphalt FR-S by the way .

Hello everyone! I picked up a 6AT Raven last month to replace my tired SRT-4 and it is nearly at 1k miles already. I am really enjoying it so far but trying to take it easy in the break-in period. I live in Central Indiana and I am looking forward to meeting more people that are into this platform locally so I have some tuning buddies. I have tinted the car 20%, Installed an AppRadio2 with ARLiberator running on it, and the car has custom Katskin dealer installed heated leather seats.

I am wanting to do a few things this spring still that are smaller cosmetic projects and then next winter get in there and start really doing the fun stuff. I dont know if I am going to do any major performance mods as I would rather get it paid off sooner and I don't want to drop a ton of money into the automatic when I am sure I will trade it off for a 6MT Turbo version if they make one soon enough or if they release a new Supra off this platform.

I look forward to meeting new people and I have had a great time viewing the forums so far. This is a great community so far and I know it will only expand.

Hi. I'm new here. I don't own an FRS, but I'm a tech at Toyota and get to road test them. I've become a huge fan, so I joined this forum in hopes that if anyone has any questions or concerns, I can provide factory level advice. Plus, I like to learn more from people's experience on the car as well. Cheers!

Just joined up. Picked up a BRZ on the weekend. I don't plan on modding it since I have a dedicated track car. But, I hear there's lots of things that can be done. I've had a 02 WRX and an 09 STI so I'm pretty familiar with the Subaru world. A friend is the local tuner, so I have to get him to try to tune out the mid-rpm power dip. He worked wonders on my other Suby's, but everything is different in the normally aspirated world. I'll update here once the car is broken in a bit and he's had a chance to play with it.

Nice to e-meet e-meet everyone.

Hey new here. Been out of the car scene for 10 years now. I used to drive a 92 Honda Civic hatch with an 95 Integra GSR engine and a Greddy Turbo kit. Learned my lesson the hard way with racing parts. They don't last. Got frustrated and sold the car as I couldn't keep up with replacing performance parts. Drove around in beaters cause cars bored me to death. Then I got into motorcycle's (2008 Suzuki GSX-R750) and lost all my love for car's. But one day out the blue I test drove the FR-S (with my pregnant wife) and fell in love with this car.
2 months later, my sweet (sarcasm) 98 Honda Accord with 355,000 Km's blew a tire. I went to my buddy's shop with a donated used tire from another friend to have it replaced. My buddy's shop is located behind a scion dealership. We got into debating about the BRZ and FR-S. He then calls the scion manager next door. Scion manager asks me what I'm looking for. I told him Black and standard. My buddy and I were told to look over the fence and into the compound. Low and behold, a black FR-S and it's a standard. Still with it's white shipping plastic's.
I wasn't looking into buying a car this year but when the wife heard about the car in the compound she kept pushing me to replace my POS. A couple of days later I'm signing papers.
Picking her up this Friday (tomorrow)! First brand new car purchase ever. Giddy like a school girl!
BTW - I still get to keep the bike.

Hey, just picked up my Fr-s Tuesday. I traded in my '13 tacoma. My buddy is a sales man there and dealer traded to get me the car I wanted. I come from a background of 100% BMW but I drove my friends frs and fell in love with it.

I've got big plans for this car, I'm just trying to baby it through the break in period.

Only options are TRD exhaust and spoiler:

Hello people I'm new to the club but owned my Raven since 10-10-2012

Never really been into tuning vehicles don't know much, my first actual bought vehicle is the FR-S, please help with some minor improvements I could do to make my car that much better, performance wise black on black rims, horsepower etc anything would help and the more information the better. Remember I'm a beginner. Thanks

Just got a whiteout fr-s March 29. It now has 1100 miles.

This is my first manual car ever! I drove for a few minutes a few times on my friends manual Maxima, but other than that I never drove stick. Got the fr-s in stick, knew enough about driving manual to get it out of the dealership, and have been loving it ever since. Every day is a learning experience, and the better I get at driving stick, the more fun the car keeps on getting.

So far I only plastidipped the front and back scion emblems, and debadged the frs logo.

Love the car. It's a dream to drive.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on the forums for some time, but finally decided to make an account after getting my FR-S! Although it's new, I keep thinking of all the things that I can get for it
I used to own a 240sx and love drifting, but don't confuse me with some of those drifters who tear the cars to shit and make it look like it. I took good care of my car, drove it daily, and drove it in several drift events. I sold it before moving and working in Japan last year.
I actually first saw the Toyota 86 in Japan while I was there (actually saw quite a few on the road) and I knew that this would be the car I would get when I came back to the US.

Me sitting in the Toyota 86 at Toyota Megaweb in Odaiba:


Here are some of the cars I owned before. I sold them and of course I regret selling them all the time.

My first car: Honda Accord


2nd car: S13 240sx coupe


and now:

Hello everyone!!! Just picked up a whiteout today!!! have been wanting one for longest time and today finally made the move and went to a dealer and got it. It is the most absolute basic model with nothing which is what I wanted.

It is such a fun car, I got a whole lot of things I wanna do to the car.
