Well I finally got the call on Weds. Already racked up 260 miles on it, just don't wanna get out! All the reviewers are right on about this car, it just so awesome!


Here's the obligatory pics











Got plans for it but little money so it'll be slow, but tint and fogs are a must before too long.

looks good what r some of the plans u have

[b_massey02]

Fog Lamps, Rims (prolly 18's), a few suspension tweaks, couple of the jdm options (maybe), the lip spoiler from trd or 5 axis, and get some more power out of it when the aftermarket figures out the in's and outs of this engine. Gonna stay naturally aspirated and keep it fairly simple. Its my daily, so I can't break it. :-P

ya i cant wait for a turbo to come out, u going with any strut bars or anything like that? and i think im sticking with 17, just because i dont want to buy more expensive tires. I plan on lowing it just with springs im not going with changing out the coil overs or anything. what exhaust u planning on going with?

Exhaust is a big question, Perrin's stuff sounds nice as does Borlas, but I really don't know. My plan for suspension are springs/struts or coils (undecided at present), probably trd sway bars and strut bars and thats prolly it.

Ya i like the perrins stuff- but im planning on preordering evo 3 from greddy next week, i ordered struts front and rear already. You planning anything in the interior?

Might wrap that flat panel in some real carbon fiber, new shift knob and e-brake handle maybe some stereo stuff, and possible some different material shift and e-brake boot but overall I really like the interior as is. Overall my plans for the whole car are to personalize it a little and massage it some but overall Toyota/Subaru did a great job IMO. Could be a little biased tho my last car was a pontiac grand am that was in need of some serious help. :-P

i was planing on wrap interior as well. what color u going with, blue carbon or black?

Black, I think it would go with interior better. :-P Oh and I'll prolly get some led bulbs for the interior too. And maybe do something with the headlamps and tails, but that is really low on my list. Tho it would be nice to have black housings instead of chrome especially with the darker color.

my firestorm fr-s comes in in about 2.5 weeks im pretty excited i ordered red carbon fiber hoping it would match just right if not im sending it back. i found an interior dome light for like 12 bucks it was blue led i sure u can find one u would like. my mustang now has black out heads and brake lihts i dont like them, because my head lights arnt bright enough. so... im prolly now going to do anything with the heads. Now my brake lights i plan on red them out, i dont really like the look of a black out head and brake lights. how u loooking on window tint u planning on doing something with that?

Ugh the waiting is the worst!!!! :-P Tinting is coming as soon as possible prolly in August it's hot here in Florida! I forgot what they ran on my wife's TC, but I'll prolly get the same. Its darker than Florida legal but not so dark as to attract attention.

[kendalldwhite]

waiting does suck!! I'm here in Texas i plan on getting my tint done with that tint that doesn't let heat into the car, u know what i'm talking about? I called one of the tinting places here in town they said it would be around $200 i didn't think that was bad, how much was it going to cost you?

I thinkmy wife's was about 200 and i think it might have been Oakley or some such. Do they even make tint? :-P Anyway that price for good tint sounds about right.

[kendalldwhite]
