Nice! First Whiteout FR-S I've personally seen with this wheel/color combo for the Five Axis Edition setup. Looks awesome!

Mr.Jay · 09-13-2012, 06:54 PM

Saw this combo on a Silver FRS and I must say that it looks better than I thought but the 5Axis kit is not for me. Makes the car look too muscle like to me as oppose to sleek and lean.

Deff caught my eye tho

i personally just dont like these tape on style kits. At first i really liked this kit but the more ive seen pics the more it just seams stuck on and out of place (just my opinion). If you like it then its the shiz right!?

Just got mine installed and I love it ! Looks better than in pictures. Will post pics later

The lip kit looks great in person, i might say!

Looks pretty awesome, pretty much any color wheel (minus some shades of white) would look good on white.

PhastekSport · 10-23-2012, 09:18 AM

Can someone confirm that the paint matching on whiteout looks better in person? All the pictures I've seen make it looks like two completely different colors.

I do realize it's a different material, but still...(is it the angles?) I'm wondering if I need to get these items paint matched locally or not.

Thanks.

Not really a fan of the wheel design, but that's obviously subjective.

I'm also not really a fan of the Five Axis kit as a whole, but I do like the little lip spoiler.

For what it is (considering I'm not a fan of either styles), I think it looks pretty decent on your car.

Demandred7 · 10-23-2012, 01:38 PM

I have seen the 5 Axis kit (albeit with different wheels) and it makes the car look much bigger and beefier. Also, because of the ground effects, it gives a lowered "appearance". I am kinda torn between liking it and not liking it. I like the lowered look and the spoiler. Not crazy about the price.

Been planning on doing this to my whiteout. I just don't know tho, I think I would get them and paint them black to match all the other black accents tho.

Still sick wheels, Love them.

I'd just want the lower portions to be black... Not all the way up behind the door.

What's your opinion though? The paint match doesn't seem to be spot on with whiteout?

RandomFRSguy · 10-23-2012, 07:50 PM

I'm not quite sure what you mean, I was refering to painting the wheels black. I personally think the dark grey kind of looks out of place cuz its so close to the black in shade. Don't get me wrong its still nice looking the way it is, I'm just always looking for ways to improve.

PhastekSport · 10-23-2012, 08:25 PM

Oops thought you were talking about the kit. Sorry.

Please post pic when you are done ... I would love to see how that looks. I wanted my wheels in black but only gunmetal and silver was available
