heatnation3's JDM inspired FR-S 10 Series
My goal with this car is to build a JDM version of a special edition model that was only sold in the US. This car is meant to be a street car and it gets driven plenty. I want to retain reliability, ease of maintenance, simplicity, OEM functions, and overall streetability. I am heavily inspired by Japanese builds and manufacturers, therefore most of the parts I use on this car are high quality JDM parts (with some exceptions). I also try to use mostly used parts in order to save money.
I plan to keep this car for the rest of my life and eventually pass it down to my children. This was one of my dream cars since it was released. I purchased it on March 9, 2017 with 29,362 miles from an Atlanta, GA area used car dealership. It was completely stock when I bought it except for Helix smoked side markers. I daily drove this car for 3 years until it had about 80k miles, and is now my second car. I still drive this car often and hard. I should have started this journal when I got the car but I guess late is better than never. If you have any questions/comments or want to talk about the car feel free to post here or PM me!

Very nice built, I love it. I want those checkered floor mats but I'm too cheap!
I love the wing on the back, did it cover the OEM holes? |

Aerowolf mirror visors
Bought a set of Aerowolf Ganador mirror visors to see if I could fit them to the OEM mirrors. Used a heat gun to change the shape and 3M tape to attach them. Held up great for 6 months before I decided to take them off and sell them.

Found these for sale on Facebook and had to jump. These are my dream wheels for this car and to find them in this spec and new in box is even better.

Thanks! The floor mats are definitely worth the money, they're holding up great. Mine came without a wing so I am not sure on if it covers the OEM spoiler holes unfortunately.
