I never really took to those vents (if we can call them that) anyway, but that's a rather clever idea. We've already seen replacement fenders, I'm sure the aftermarket
will take care of the rest with some fiberglass or CF replacements.

CF or something similar was what I was thinking to replace them with. Maybe some custom machined aluminum.

Yeah it's trunk based, but based on the measurements in this thread, it doesn't look like it will fit in that location like it does in the Impreza. I honestly don't care where it's mounted as long as I can still fold the seats down.

any chance the subwoofer replaces that foam piece inside the spare tire? Ive seen setups like that before but can't remember what car it was on right now.

edit: I think the rsx was the car I'm thinking of

I wish the doors were lower, but you just can't get cars like that anymore. The FT86 is not a good car if you're claustrophobic.

1. Here it is being backed into and parked in the dealership.

Sweet! It's the Galaxy Blue Silica! The color I pre-ordered. I hope the dealers in WA would get the show car soon. I like how you were able to fit your G.Nexus in the small cubby hole. At least now I know my nexus will fit there too.

Shame that there is no pricing yet. You physically see your car and get the feel for it but don't know how much exactly you're dishing out for. Sigh....the wait continues....

It's a little dark for my taste, but that's why I ordered WRB. GBS certainly is an interesting color. I bet Plasma Blue Pearl would look sick on this car though!

I just wish they would have a matte finish as an option

Great to hear that 5"9" inch tall 31 inseam fits not only a driver but also a right front passenger with a right rear passenger behind. Good enough in a pinch! 5'6" should be roomy!

Now the last piece of info that would be nice would be the EPA fuel economy!

Not familiar with these kinds stereo UIs but can you not copy the map files on to another SD card and add your own music to play from the SD card? Or just add music to that SD card?
