No FR-S yet. Dealership stated that they found chipped paint after the dent was repaired and would need some paint/clear coat. They are trying to source me another one now. Hopefully they can find one in the next couple of days.

I think I'll have to redo all the paperwork since this is under a different vin. Sigh...so anxious to drive it but it's getting frustrating.

You'll eventually get to take that Joyride in your new FR-S... and all this will be in your rearview mirror!

Bought a 2015 Firestorm FR-S about 10 days ago. Firestorm wasn't actually my first color choice, but I was able to use that to my advantage in the negotiating process. They threw in a set of TRD lowering springs at no extra cost.

I'm a former AP1 S2000 owner, and I'm also currently the proud owner of a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a few mods (here). The one thing that has drawn me to each of these vehicles is their active aftermarket support. I see all my vehicles as a blank canvas ready to be customized.

Currently, my FR-S has the rear-deck spoiler and the TRD lowering springs. I have a set of Toyota badges on order. My next mod will probably be the TRD Quickshifter. Looking forward to being a part of this community!

Including pics since we all love pics:

Hey everyone,
I've been lurking the forums for about 2 months now. I finally just got my 2015 Firestorm FR-S a couple weeks back. Still in the break in period but loving it so far. Its amazing how it makes even the commute to and from work fun.

Welcome!!! I've only had mine for almost two months. I do agree makes driving to work fun. I work about 2 miles away but take the long way to work to have some "quality" time with my car.

Hello all. 4 weeks ago I traded in my 15 WRX 6mt for a 13 Firestorm Red FR-S. Since 2008 I've owned 5 WRX's, 08 VW GTi. It was a tough decision at 1st being such a Subaru fan boy. Got to say though I'm glad I pulled the trigger and just like past cars I have owned, the mod bug has bit me right in the ass. So far every stock part I have came across has a Subaru part # so my conscious is clear in that I haven't strayed too far from my favorite car manufacturer. So far I've relocated the front plate with the Perrin Bracket. Installed some cross drilled / slotted rotors and brake pad upgrade that I had sitting in a box from one of my 2012 WRX's that never got installed due to a wreck. Hopefully this weekend I will be installing my AppRadio3 and getting rid of the Bespoke Unit. I commute 180 miles round trip daily so I tend to go through cars quite often. Although this car I think I'm going to keep awhile. Absolutely Love It.

You made a good call. And now you have the best seats in the world for your drive (=^w^=)

First of all welcome and I like you already for your user name. Just had to say that. I'm a fan of Subaru too and it was a hard choice for me as well. I love the twins equally. I think you'll be happy with your car. I've only had mine for almost 2 months and I'm loving every minute.

Welcome and Enjoy. I have had mine since Aug. 2012 and while she's not my DD, I hardly ride my Concours anymore. And when I get in and settled, my first thought is still "Honey, I'm home". This will be my last new car, unless I get another one.
