Hey guys I'm new to this forum and just want to share my car ('13 FR-S) with you guys and get any advice on what I should do next! I've upgraded from a 2008 Civic and I've been happy ever since, although i loved that car it felt like a "sporty" car and not a sports car. sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot i don't know how to navigate this forum yet!

so far all I've done to it is katskin leather wrapped the seats w/ heated seats and put the upgraded audio screen from the 2014's
right now I'm saving up for borla exhaust and the oem scion spoiler

any tips on what i should do next or helpful ideas to make me get the best experience with my car and make me more familiar with it!
lets see if i can get these pics to come up lol

Nice house. How many bathrooms?

HIDS, tinted windows, or new rims? Liking the seats!

amjadh · 11-09-2013, 11:24 PM

hahahah i really just lol'd at your how many bathrooms comment. it only has 2.5. and i like the stock wheels and I'm looking into the HIDs but if i do it i want to do it the right way so I'm very cautious. and i haven't even thought of tints yet

Don't go with the OEM's spoiler. Other spoilers are better looking.

amjadh · 11-09-2013, 11:37 PM

i like how it looks clean on the car, which ones would you recommend? i don't want anything too obnoxious

Five axis spoiler looks best on FRS.

amjadh · 11-09-2013, 11:45 PM

i like that one a lot, do they come painted from five axis or would i have to get it painted?

#944_10_Series_FRS · 11-09-2013, 11:48 PM

It comes with painted as well. I have an OEM's spoiler on mine and I can't switch out for this one because it bolt to the trunk. For this Five Axis spoiler, you don't have to drill hole on your trunk at all.

Here is the link of one of the vendor on this forum for this spoiler,

i don't track my car or autocross it so i couldn't justify spending money on higher quality tires, i like sliding around at times too haha

#944_10_Series_FRS · 11-09-2013, 11:55 PM

Yes, it is attached to the trunk using very strong 3M double sides tape.

amjadh · 11-09-2013, 11:57 PM

is there a way to get it without buying the full kit from their website? and it seems pretty pricey

Check out the link on my earlier post. You can get the spoiler alone. It is a very good deal. $430 painted vs $399 OEM.
