most of the condensation issues were traced back to the body/taillight housing leaking. i believe the official fix was a replacement gasket material.

And it doesn’t seem like it’s much of an issue any more since the fix? Are most of the aftermarket tails just plug and play?

most of them are plug-n-play unless you do something crazy and order stuff for the japanese market. USDM and JDM models are wired slightly different. there's a few different how-to's to wire one version to the other version, so not impossible, but definitely a hassle.

That’s good to know! I wouldn’t want to mess with wiring changes. I’ve never had good success with that.

I’m liking these stock lights all red, and my brother stood behind my car and said the light output is really good. I will try to resist buying new ones. Lol

My brother and I washed our cars today, just a wash no wax. It’s great to wash a new car (to you) for the first time. You see details you don’t notice otherwise. He has a Audi TT-S, it’s such a quick car.

He had fun driving my FR-S also.

Thanks I appreciate it!

My brother made a comment that with the TRD wing it has a “mini Supra” look in the rear. I’m good with that.

I also highly recommend the TRD springs, it’s a perfect drop.
