Pretty much just plug and play from what I understand.

Interested in your experience and what you missed or didn't besides the payment differences.

It is. I have the 2014 radio with sat/nav in mine. Took about 10 minutes to install.

The FRS is definitely rougher and louder than the ATS but i will get used to it. It has the bridgestone's on it which i don't care for. Hoping to get some better tires on it soon just trying to pick out a wheel.

Thats good to hear. I ordered some Swift BRZ springs tonight and checking out some Valenti tails. I'm looking for some wheels but can't decide of course, had 4 sets on the last one so this isn't new.

Good to see you around Joe. I was ordered the Eibach R1 coils I had from you.

Im just now getting the modding bug again. I have a set of Enkei RS05-RR on the way that should be here tomorrow and Im trying to decide which springs to buy now. Just need some black headlights and red tails (thinking Toms) and ill be good to go.

I'd love to get the RS05RR's but just too much right now. I'm probably just going to get some XXR 527 or 552 for now until i can get some Gram Lights or something later on. Trying to not spend too much on little stuff so i can boost it eventually.
