Thanks... I didn't even think about painting the mirrors... I'll have to at least consider it now.

I vote for #1 ...... I think it looks cleaner and more balanced.

I'm leaning towards the first pic. The molded white TRD fender garnish just looks different... most people will have black or carbon fiber garnishes.

Btw, what is the proper name for the aero I'll be fabricating? I'm asking about the aero parts originating at the fenders and rear bumper extensions? Thanks in advance.

#4 I always feel a painted wing looks more like it belongs on the car than a black one.

There was the one guy on here that had the fender garnishes filled and painted and it looked really good.

If you paint the mirrors white it will keep all the black low and less "police" car appearing.

Not today, so I guess wrong thread. I haven't seen a "what are you doing tomorrow to your FRS thread, and I can't wait. Get my new clutch tomorrow. Yes!

Edit:took it in this morning. One suggestion to anyone installing an aftermarket clutch kit. There is no known aftermarket TOB, so guess which one comes with the kit? Spend a couple bucks more and purchase the upgraded one to install with your kit so you know.

Probably need a fender roll on that size. Assuming I did my math right you should be 5mm +1/8 inch (just under 3/8) past mine. That's snug as fuck, no doubt there. I'm not hellaflush but there isn't much gap to be sure

That's worse. You'll have poke for sure. 3/4 inch wider but only 5mm less offset

Installed Grimspeed hood struts. Simple, but a very nice mod to have.

Can I ask what you replaced it with? I just bought a 10 series and the rear view mirror isn't looking so hot.
