I'm sure others will come by with opinions on leasing vs. buying.

That is true, and thanks for the advice! The thing is however, I'll be paying for it myself so buying it is out of the question and I believe I'll be allotted about 15,000 mi for 3 years/duration of lease and I think its enough because I work literally 5 min away from my house and everywhere I go with my SO and friends is around 15 miles from where we live so I don't expect to hit 15k within that time frame. There's still a couple months so we'll see

I picked up my 2013 Whiteout FRS 6spd a few days ago and so far it's awesome. I came from a much higher hp (much heavier and automatic, too) car but the FRS is much more fun to drive.

I was scheduled to have the OE spoiler, foglights and radio installed but cancelled getting the spoiler since I've seen some better looking aftermarket ones.

According to the forums the radio they installed is going to be the new standard for 2014. It looks better than the older ones in my opinion. Did anyone else get this radio in a 2013?

Can't wait to get it broken in and have more fun!

CONGRATULATIONS, Hallucin8 and welcome to the group ......

HINT: Take a grinder (or a rasp) and skin up the underside of the front skirt (clip). That way, when you run up on a concrete parking stop, you won't be all upset ....

Welcome ......

Yep, lots of good info about your new car, right here.

REALLY, there is NOTHING wrong with your new car.....

The tail pipe tips work just fine ..... the radio antennae works just fine ..... it runs fine without mud flaps .... wheel locks are not necessary .... your car will not run faster with an armrest ...... you already got a radio with a screen ..... you don't need to cover/rub off the stickers on the visors .... the tires are just fine ..... for going in a straight line, on dry pavement, in the summer .......!

So, what else have I replaced??

NO!, my car has enough power ....

Stepping in.

saying hello. dont own a frs, have an audi but im working on some illustrations you guys might be into. I work for Vortech as their art director and make posters in my spare time.


Thats me, I drive this.


I was going to put a poll/post up to gauge interest in going forward making these. I have guys in Brooklyn screen them for me (totodesign) and hand number them.

Was thinking making 50/each set-up and selling individually or as sets. Thinking 18x24 but might go down a bit if I end up doing 4.

Well, HELLO, yaser.salameh .....

I can understand why you've done nothing to your FR-S, because, you just joined this forum ...... and you have been too busy your car.....

Now that you're here, you will find out that your car's tail pipe tips look goofy; the antennae is too dang long; it has excessive wheel gap; the tires need replaced; the radio is junk; orange side markers look funny; it needs an armrest; the intake and exhaust are waaay too restrictive; it needs coilovers; and a body kit; and new wheels; a louder muffler; tinted windows and all kinds of HID & LED lighting.

There, now get started .....
