Hey guys, potential new frs owner here. I will be going in tmrw to look at an ultramarine frs at my local dealer. Just had a quick question.. The sales associate at the dealer told me all their cars come with a "REAR BUMPER APPLIQUE". Any one know if this is easily removed?

Yep, grab a hair drier or heat gun and warm it up evenly, then peel off. I would've kept mine if it didn't say SCION on it. I ended up having the clear bra guy put a plain one there to protect from scuffs (there will be scuffs).

Just picked up my FR-S with 30 miles on it today. Coming from an APR Ko4'd GTI (317hp) and I absolutely love driving the FR-S (even if it is slow

Hey guys, joined up in preparation for purchasing a 2013 FR-S. I'm currently driving a 2002 Tacoma TRD V6 that I will be putting up for sale this week. Before I buy the FR-S, I wanted to read about it from all the owners perspectives. Also, I was thinking about waiting for a 2014 if there are any big changes coming (I doubt this due to the fact that the car is only a year old). I really loved the test drive I had, and I will be getting Asphalt with the manual transmission. I currently work at a dealership where I get to drive cars like 911 GT3's, Astons, and all kinds of fun stuff, and I'm looking forward to getting a car that makes driving fun all the time. Thanks for hosting a great site! Can't wait to get mine!

Hey all. Been lurking here for two or three days and figured I'd join in.

Bought my FR-S a little over a week ago. Been loving it so far. Although my dad taught me how to drive a stick when I learned to drive (almost ten years ago!) this is the first manual transmission car I've ever owned, so I've got a bit of a learning curve going on, but it's going good so far. I've actually seen the clutch adjustment thread somewhere around here and I'm trying to get up the nerve up to try it since the clutch does seem awful high (my dad and friend have also said the same, as have most on this forum).

Anyway, here's my new baby.

Hello everyone, just picked up a brand new FRS in raven, one of 3 left at the dealer came with the TRD exhaust and the rear spoiler. Love the car first mods planed are the Injen cold air intake and the borla UEL header, Perrin light weight crank pully and the kartboy short throw shifter. Then just drive the hell outta it. Put my first 100 miles on the Od this weekend. I'm in south jersey anyone else down this way?

Hello Guys,

I am from lynchburg, VA. Been lurking here for couple of days, Got my Raven FR-S last thursday. I used to drive Jeep Wrangler JK and it is a complete contrast for me. I am loving this car and the adrenaline rush when I zoom through the traffic. Here are couple of pics of my Jeep and FR-S .

Hi All.

Joined up on the site a week or so ago and had my FR-S just over a month now. Traded my 2005 Honda Civic for the FR-S and best thing i've done for years. Live in Dallas, TX but originally from the UK, so wish it was called a GT86 over here too.

Couple of pic of my FR-S below. Only thing added since pics taken is GrimmSpeed Front License Plate Holder in the Tow Hook.
John.

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.
OMG I will be picking up my new Asphalt FRS after work today I'm so excited
