"Bolt"

Hello fellow 86 owners :P

I am now, since January 12 2013, the proud owner of a M/T Scion FR-S. It's my first ever car purchase. Every thing else was a handmedown from my parents. '99 Honda Accord --> '03 BMW 325i --> 2013 Scion FR-S. I have decided to name it "Bolt" because of my former dog haha. Well I went into the dealership looking for a 2011 Mustang GT and had to walk through the showroom to meet the dealer. Right when I walked in the showroom I saw this beautiful silent BEAST waiting for me. I told the dealer "Hold on, let me admire this for a second." I sat down and fell in love. Went to the GT, test drove it, liked it a lot, but I couldn't take my eyes off of this head turner. I am stoked about eventually adding a VMS CAI. Sorry if this is too long!! Here are the pics! I'll add more as I add things to the vehicle.


Modifications List in Order:
1. Red Brake Calipers (G2 Brake Caliper Paint)
2. Shorty Antenna
3. Berk Axleback Dual Exhaust (Thanks to @ATL BRZ)
4. Perrin Silicon Intake Tube
5. Cosworth Dry Air Filter
6. Clear Side Markers (not yet installed)
Attached Images

Should I make them a little bigger, or is that a good size?

Yeah that's much better. I can see everything now! Protip: If you want to post high res pics, host them on imgur.com then embed them here. The forum automatically resizes photos that are externally hosted.

Calipers look good!
