Nice i think the burnt exhaust would be choice for an ultramarine. Can't wait to see some more footage! Congrats on the new FR-S

Yes the burnt tip does look good!
Hopefully they make it to production. If we all ask for it maybe they can !

Same here. Used Tanabe lowering springs on my xB. Followed that up using one of their catback exhausts and downpipe on my Evo. I'm looking forward to more stuff from them.

Dont get me wrong, I had a ton of tanabe stuff on my S14 and love their springs just making a observation. But congrats on getting to be the test mule.
