You better believed it was shipped! Well I cannot gaurantee it has shipped yet *Canada post* but it is in their system! lol

Hope it works for you as a temporary fix. To get your shark fin to work you would have to create quite the custom gasket up front. Cut back some rubber trim and work from that I guess

I actually fabricated a gasket for the front of the sharkfin, it hangs over by about 1.5 inches, so the gasket is approximately 3/8" thick on the front and then I have a small piece of neoprene surrounding the gasket.

I test fit it with my temporary make shift gasket and it looks really good. But I'm going to tweak it a bit more and post pics when I'm satisfied.

In the meanwhile, it's Perrin Shorty FTW!!

Do you guys have LED Drls? I was looking on HID powerhouse and they seem so cheap (price wise) just wondering if you guys know anything about them or the Nokya bulbs. The halogens are so ugly.

Also how did you red out your tails? I didn't know if it would look better or worse on a black fr-s, especially since I was thinking of rally armour flaps, theres red ones,

or else i'd go black if those would over do it, but i feel like red tails and red flaps is overkill

Speaking of winter driving do you guys know what dimensions a 16" tire can be to fit the fr-s? I used to have an rsx and I'm going to check the dimensions of its winter tires to see if I can use them with steels.

I'm running 16's for winter tire use with no fitment issues. Went with a 205/55R16 tire and they are essentially stock size (circumferance). Keep in mind that the base model GT-86 in some markets comes with 16" rims. If I did it again I would likely get 60 or 65 profile winter tires just for the extra clearance and ride smoothness. Of course the tradeoff would be steering response amongst other small handling changes. That being said, I never had an issue with road clearance all winter, even during storms so it might be a moot point.

If you are looking for LED DRL's just for looks, buy them off ebay - save some coin. They will never be bright enough to use to actually light the road, but they will look good (this goes for all LED bulbs expect for those 300 a pair ones, but then you might as well get good HID retrofits)

Red tails ALWAYS looks good on our cars. Here are your options
1. Do it yourself (check the DIY, there is a good one there) - Cheap
2. Taking them out and getting a body shop to do it - Higher quality and more expensive

Rally Armour mudflaps are good, does your car come with the stock mudflaps already? mine did. I would make it so you can take them off in summer. While they look good on STIs and Evos, they do not really look great on our cars. I think they are a fad carried over from all of the subaru guys. Unless you actually rally/gravel drive your car on the regular come spring and summer.

Yeah with the flaps I just figured for $130 where I could take them on and off it wouldn't be a bad decision to try them. I do have the stock hard plastic guards. If i didn't choose to get my tails professionally done what would the price difference look like?

Yeah I have 205/55/16r from my old car so I figured if I can find cheap steelies i'd use them for my first winter.

Spotted a white FR-S like 10 mins ago (9pm) crossing North Broad by the Highland curling club. I know there was a used white fr-s for sale right by there by suzuki or maybe even sold there.

there are 2-3 white FRS in Regina. One is a newer model that has the spoiler and TRD exhaust (maybe even the intake)

it cost me 40 bucks or less to do my own tails. it would be like 100-150 to get them painted professionally i suppose

I wish I felt the same, I'd have a lot of extra cash on hand...

[SaskFr-s]

I'm happy I got the TRD exhaust, so many shitty sounding systems out there, I love my spoiler but I wish it was carbon. Anyone else have any TRD add-ons? I don't have the intake

[frs baby]

add ons for me greddy evo 3 exhaust tinted windows greddy lowering springs greddy cold air intake meng hid lights nd leds

[SkAsphalt]

Reading comprehension.....


I do not have any TRD add-ons; I have many mods, but nothing directly from Toyota's peeps.

Edited my post to make up for grammatical shortcomings.
