The matte black roof would look good.

The spoiler might look off being CF if the trunk isn't CF. Now if you had a front lip/splitter, side skirts/splitters, and rear spats in CF (and same weave pattern for all), I think it'll look good.

LOL, sounds expensive!

Don't forget about CF hood, fenders, and doors too!

Yeah, unfortunately. lol. I was tempted for the Yaris since someone was selling a full Seibon lip kit for $500.

For the FR-S, I'd like a front splitter (no support/race rods or end caps), side splitter (no end caps), and a non aggressive Velox rear diffuser. I like the design of the car, and I think those (large) little items will compliment the original design.

CF doors and fenders is overkill.

I'd rather get that dry CF roof replacement. lol.

Oh! I really want the velox non aggressive rear diffuser! But I bet that would scrape like crazy on my driveway too!

Haha, I'll need to find one but I'm down.

Same here

Someone here agreed to sell his for $300, but then never told me when he got back in town. Oh well.

I know this may be a question already covered somewhere around here, but is a slight hum from the rear-ish passenger side one of the "normal" twin noises? It tends to happen at idle off am on, never constantly, and occasionally when I'm at lower gears I think...

It doesn't sound bad per se but just kinda curious.

Might be wrong but is it part of the fuel pump?

That's what I was thinking it might be. Can't seem to find a specific post here other than the ones about the fuel evaporation test thing, but the manual says the noise would come from the bottom and while the car is off, but this hum is while it's on for maybe 5-10 seconds, then stops, then sometimes happens again. Doesn't get worse/better, just either it's making the noise or it's not.

Some people on here post about hums that get worse at higher RPMs or during other times but that's not the case with this as far as I can tell.

For now just assuming it's a normal sound

Maybe talk to a Subaru service adviser? Would be best to have it looked over since the humming that comes from my car is with the engine off (that evap testing thig) or ignition on (I'm thinking this is the fuel pump priming???). I don't recall ever hearing a hum while the engine is on or while driving.

Yeah, maybe the 17s are different, but I've never heard a 5-10 second alternating hum coming from the right rear while idle or driving.
