I love all my mod since i do a lot research before purchase.
The only thing i dislike is there is always an empty space on my passenger seat.

Love my weathertec mats. Those were my first purchase when I got my car.
I hate my smoked side markers. The clips always seem to be loose and the side markers don't sit flush with the car anymore. I've tried replacing the clips but it still doesn't sit as flush as the OEM side markers. Wish I hadn't spent money on them.

Huge debate over their effectiveness and safety. Some tests even show that a heavier pulley (fluidampr) produces gains.

Love: Tein Flex Z; GruppeS UEL +OFT; Perrin Steering Rack Lockdowns; Transmission insert; Quick drain valve; 720 Form Wheels.

Not too happy about: RCE yellows--they were fine, just wasted money in comparison with Tein Coils. TRD style spoiler I tried to carbon fiber wrap. Failed. Federal Super Steel tires. Tried to save a bit of money, now I regret it. Lesson learned.

You are correct. They are Filipinos. Good call.

Love tail light mods. I think it's the first thing I notice. The stock tails are so ugly, they remind me of early 2000's civics going for the chrome tail look.

Hate mod is having to remove the front bumper to replace aftermarket headlights. The damn bumper clip gets destroyed so easy so it slops and sticks out.

SUB-FT86 · 05-25-2016, 02:57 PM

Love my Hotchkis 1" drop springs for the money($195)
Love my 18x9 Konig Oversteer because they look premium but cost about $625 for the wheels
Love my lip kit
Love my Winjet Head and Taillights.
Love my side markers with the indicators
Love my Toyota badges
Love my Alcantara(JPM)/CF/Aluminum trim. The inside looks more premium now.

I haven't did anything I would hate yet but I feel if I was to go F/I I would both love and hate it because of the high compression mix with too much heat to manage reliably.

Brayden_23 · 05-25-2016, 03:54 PM

LOVE: Switchback turn signals, JDL catted UEL + Perrin 2.5 res CBE
HATE: that I went for a catted header...

You should watch this.

They were unlucky being some of the first to mod this platform. I've had no headaches with my kit. It's just I rushed into everything all at once without enjoying the true nature of the car.

Damn having hard time deciding between Weathertech and 3D Maxpider. They are about same price on Amazon. I heard Weathertech warps over time.

Love - the car, traded in plug in hybrid for FR-S. Invidia Exhaust

Hate - Warranty expired as I drove off the lot(hit 36k). Stuck with window squeak and clutch rattle. No hateful mod right now.
