Replaced dome light bulb with LED
Ordered Raceseng Slammer (630+ gram weighted knob)
Ordered Raceseng reverse lockout (red)

In the next couple days, I will get my roof wrapped gloss black. After that, red tails or Valenti/TOMS (what do you think?). Plan on working on the exhaust ASAP too.

Nice! I'd go for the Tom's tail lights - I don't have them myself, but I think that they look awesome if not best on an Argento.

As for myself, I finally got around to ordering a foam gun that should compliment the rest of the cleaning products I picked up within the last week nicely. I also ordered a set of Rally Armor Mudflaps, and my own tail lights as a Christmas present to myself - can't wait for that stuff to get here! That will help kick off the new year with some fun and excitement

The singularly most valuable mods so far IMO were the HIDs and the clutch adjustment. That engagement point is spot on now!

Hmmm... Maybe I'll do the clutch adjustment tomorrow now.

That much better?

Shoot, those mudflaps sound like a great idea. Foam gun, living that luxe life huh?

I cannot stress it enough. Prior to buying the FR-S, I tested literally 12 MT cars. The FR-S had one of the higher clutch engagement spots. You'll lose some of that "tension" giving it a lighter feel, but it's just a lot easier to work with, and you lower the risk of riding the clutch.

Hrm, good suggestion, though I'm mainly worried about the quality on these aftermarket tails.

I completely agree. They are what the car should have come with.

That all sounds good! Maybe compliment the roof with some black down low somewhere? Lip/body kit? Stripe? I'm not a big fan of black wheels but gloss black or black highlighted wheels would look very nice on your car!

Finally made the clutch pedal adjustment. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner?!?!?! A LOT better!
