Just stock painted semi-gloss black. The highbeam reflectors are Duplicolor Shadow.
As soon as I shell out the ridiculous money for Switchback turn signals, I will paint the turn signals in the Shadow(albeit a lighter coat than the high beam) so that It doesn't look so odd with bright chrome turn signals in the front of a dark front end. Edit: Just ordered my TRD Quickshifter! was going to order the Kartboy, but it seems the TRD is shorter and doesn't have any annoying noises. Can't complain @ ~$110 less than the Kartboy as well. Looking at Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature Gauges as well as an oil change to 10w-30 Motul engine oil to help with the pressure loss at high RPM during heavy spirited/track sessions. I am looking at the Prosport Premium Evo(blue matches stock cluster), and Speedhut gauges matched to cluster.

Custom tool made to get the shift spring out Love the feeling of the short shifter along with the springs, shifter bushing, and clutch spring removal. The shifts are now short and tight, although a bit tough. I imagine it will get easier as I get used to it and everything wears in a bit.

Thanks! You have to remember it is just a car, and I ultimately bought it to have fun. I am not going to limit myself to certain types of fun just because the car may get dirty. All she needs is a bath and she is ready for the next adventure.
With that being said, I will not be using the FR-S on that "track" again. It looked nice, but was super rough. Build is moving slowly as I can't decide what to purchase/what to save for. I did recently pick up an RX-7 that needs a new engine. So I am also on the look for a 13b. Which is surprisingly hard in my area.

Those blue needles are fantastic. How many coats did you put on the headlights?

I finally ordered a set of STI Brembos. Found a place to get rebuilt calipers for much less than used sets on ebay. They should shipping out next week. Finally spent real money on some aesthetic parts(besides LEDs, and paint). HIC Roof Spoiler, and a TRD style spoiler. This one seems to be a bit longer and at more of an angles. Should look good. Looking for a color to paint the Calipers. Choosing from PrismaticPowders Edit: Got notification that the calipers went on backorder again -_- Second time this has happened. Just means I need to find something else to apply that money too. Got the refund, just waiting for it to hit my account,

If All goes according to plan. Either tonight or tomorrow morning, I shall have a driveway labs rear diffuser ordered(or front splitter and some bushings)
Plasti-dip on the stock wheels is peeling off, So Wednesday(weather permitting) I will re-platidip them. Thinking about going white this time. Edit: After thinking it over, and discussing with friends, I didn't end up ordering the diffuser yet. I am going to order the front splitter and diffuser together near the end of winter/beginning of spring. I ended up ordering Eibach Pro-Kit, Front camber bolts, Rear Diff bushings, and the new Tail-as-turn module from DiodeDynamics(I cut the stock reverse lights off, and it really sucks not having them). I am excited for the new look. My roof spoiler should be here tomorrow, and will be getting painted saturday morning. I am also taking my ill-fitting spoiler to get fit and painted as well. (Car is filthy I know)

I got the Roof Spoiler, Trunk Spoiler(No pictures yet), Springs, camber bolts, and shorty antenna installed today. I ran out of time to paint the wheels(Barely got them stripped) and install the rear Diff bushings. I am hoping I will get time tomorrow. Going to get an alignment tomorrow. Saturday I am going on a spirited drive with some friends. I will be chasing a modified turbo mr2(aw11), and a modified Miata. Both running Falken Azenis RT-615K and driven by some of the best drivers I know. I am interested to see how it goes. I expect to left in the dust, though I will do my best.

She Really needs bath. New lip installed. Early Christmas present from my girlfriend. Also went on a drive yesterday with the amazing weather we are having. Had to try and keep up with these two: Big Man in a little miata Both with Falken Azenis RT-615K and some of the best drivers I know. I had to push the car pretty hard to keep up with their "Good Pace". Tires would help tremendously, as I am still on stock tires.
