2015 FR-S impressions

I forgot to snap some pictures of the interior, but it's all minor changes. The only changes I noticed are that it now has the JDM knee pads and speaker grilles. They're both some cushioned leather/vinyl material.

The dash panels aren't as glossy as I expected. They're a matte CF weave. I'm personally not a fan.

The knee pads are not yet available in the warehouses. Might take a while to get them. The part # for the door speaker panels aren't even recognized yet.

They look just like these:

The 14's already come with knee pads.

Is that the new silver color? I'm interested in how the new suspension drives.

I don't hate those dash bits... It's better than the shitty design from previous.... I also dig the knee pads and speaker covers but plan to go the Alcantara route for those.

Agreed. Ruins the lines of the car. A short mast on the 2013 mount was much better IMHO.

I think I prefer the jdm tips over these. I need to see more rear pictures of the car.

Second that.
In fact, I'd prefer to not have radio if I could have my car with no roof antenna at all. Can't be bothered to do an antenna delete though, that hole will be expensive to fill and paint.

I was wondering how hard it would be to do an antenna mount under a roof spoiler. Cover the OEM hole and wire (to the spoiler) with some vinyl painted to match? I know there is an entire thread on antenna mods, but I have not heard of anyone trying this one yet.


A clean roof line would look so much better than this sharkfin Cr@@p.

That will come with the actual mid-cycle refresh.
