I'm just NOT a fan at all of ANY of the arm rests that aren't the closing one you drill in. It just looks So much better and covers the whole thing not just fits in a cup holder which IMO is ghetto.

As long as you like it that's all that matters though.

While I agree I do like the whole thing covered, the one pictured slides forward/back I believe, allowing both an armrest AND a relatively usable cupholder at the same time. Which I had come to assume as a basic function of vehicles before the FR-S

Side markers, need to be changed.
I'm with you. Seems like the first mod everyone does here is add some tacky lights to it. I would say the all red Toms look somewhat decent… But the turn signals look way cheap, and the brightness of the lights look too dim. And how ugly are the Lambo looking lights? Until something comes out that doesn't scream aftermarket, I'm keeping my factory.

I understand where you're coming from. Tom's tails are okay looking but not great and the Valenti tails are decent on a white FRS/BRZ but when lit, it looks terrible. I'll stick with having my stock tail lights clearcoated with red mixed in.

Have you seen them lit at night? I agree they don't look great lit when its sunny, but at night they look bomb dot com back slash your mom.

I've only seen the videos on youtube of them but not in person. Still not a big fan. Difference tastes.

Out of all the aftermarket choices, l like the Spyder Version 2's the best. I think the Toms look essentially the same as stock. I think the stockers are boring. Like you said, different tastes.

You are sadly mistaken

"And how ugly are the Lambo looking lights?" the buddy club tails are outstanding in real life. Went to a car show last Wednesday and people were all over the buddy clubs. Even my coworkers came in from the parking lot and commented on the tails. They have totally transformed the ass end of the car and are much brighter and alerting than stock. I even got the thumbs up from my wife after her complaining about the price of them. The only downside is the relay was a PITA to change.

Put in new Project Mu brake fluid, swapped to my racing pads, and tossed on the smoked side markers this week in preparation for next Friday's HPDE at AMP

How different is the USDM Toyota piece from this?
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Scion-Subaru-Center-Console-Armrest/dp/B00A8N34WK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399689016&sr=8-1&keywords=scion+fr-s+armrest"]Amazon.com: 2013 + Scion FR-S Subaru BRZ Center Console Armrest: Automotive[/ame]

Does the USDM Toyota piece plug into the cup holders like the Amazon piece?
