decisions...

Hey guys. I'm about to purchase a fr-s sometime next week and the dealership near me is currently installing a FULL five axis kit on the white fr-s as their show car for the opening event. They told me a base fr-s will cost about $27k out the door and the five axis fr-s will cost about $36k out the door. Do you guys think five axis fr-s is worth $36k....? I just wanna hear some opinions

That's $9000 for a bodykit and rims. Do you think that's worth it?

Personally, I don't. But I'm not a huge fan of the 5AD body kit.

That's a scam even if they are charging you full dealer labor rates which in sf is 160 per hr the install shouldn't be more than 2hrs shop time. If you really want a five axis kit go to a reputable scion dealer I don't know how they do things out there but usually if you buy the kit or accessories with the car the dealer will comp the labor.Or you can buy the kit and install it yourself all of the five axis kits I've seen for the various toyotas have excellent fitament and are very simple to install.
