MrM - Scion FR-S AT Argento

Well i'm just going to start off with that i'm 16 (Yes i know i'm spoiled) and this is my first car. I've been driving it for around 3 months and i absolutely love it, compared to most of the cars i've driven(which i've driven around 15-20 different cars) i probably like this one the most just altogether. But this journal is just like showing what i want to do with my car over time. I wouldn't mind some feedback for anything. My fr-s is AT but i had no choice it was a 16th birthday surprise from my parents.

anyways heres a little photoshop ridiculous picture i did for fun

UPDATE: Well after lots of time spending on this car, i've finally got a chance to figure out what i want. I'm receiving the monogram asphalt 2014 fr-s tomorrow, trading mine in for that. I'm pretty lucky to get that chance, and i'm going to start a new build thread with that.

Welcome.

Members have had issues with the Injen intake, so just wanted to let you know.

Also, 19's are going to kill your ride and acceleration, I was 16 once, I learned about modding cars the hard way...

17's or 18's on this car are plenty for looks and performance...

I bought a 77' Datsun 280Z from my dad that was rolled for my first car. You are one lucky mofo!!!!

In for progress! You have a solid car to start with. Even with the auto (apparently they're pretty great for slushboxes).

Got mine at 17, don't worry about getting shit for being young and getting a nice car for a first vehicle. There are thousands of high schoolers driving BMW's and Audi's to school and you at least seem like you know a little bit about cars. Good luck with the mods my friend, feel free to msg me with any questions you have
