Black MT GT86, Dubai
 

Hi,

I have been reading about all of your cars and learning a lot! I'm excited to share some pics of my car with you all. I took delivery of her on the 7th of Jan, and in Dubai when you order the Manual transmission, you get a pretty basic package with no options. I'm not fussed about the 16 inch wheels or pea-shooter pipes because I'll swap those anyway, but I am a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to order the headlights with the LEDs in them (Any UAE based folks want to do a headlights + cash trade? ;-) ).

I'm planning the following mods:

- Tinted red tail-lights (complete)
- Matt black painted or wrapped Toyota emblems (complete)
- 3M 30% tint (complete)
- KW V3 Coilovers (complete)
- 18x8 +35 TSW Interlagos wheels (complete)
- Greddy EVO3 Cat-back exhaust (complete)
- Cosworth drop-in Filter (complete)
- ECUTek tune (planning)
- AVOTurbo Stage 1 or FBM Stage 1 (planning)

Travers

Here is a 181WHP Dyno run after exhaust, drop-in filter, and ECUTek tune.

I love the way the tail lights came out. I'm not 100% happy with the wrapping of the Toyota emblems because when you look up close you can see small layers of wrap, but I'll run with them for a while and see how they go.

The guys at Profoil were really awesome about it though. They didn't charge for the Toyota emblems as they were experimenting and they offered to paint them if I wasn't happy. Highly recommend Profoil to anyone in the UAE who is thinking of wrapping their car, Khaled and the team were total pro's and good down to earth people.

This is awesome! I have always wondered about modification shops around the world. I know japan uk and other euro places have them but last time I went to india I never ever saw a performance shop!. Thanks for the great information!

Car looks great but dam please do something with the exhaust lol

Congrats and Welcome! Your car looks great so far. Keep up the good work.

lol... Dubai is not in India.

Get a map homey.

Anyways.. the tails look good OP!

I have a black BRZ and am going to red out my tails soon!

Not sure if I want to go vinyl or paint??

I know India is not Dubai. I was paying a compliment and saying thanks while making a comparison of another country. Came out wrong I suppose.

Any whose thanks

lol I know! It's like having a pimple on my chin. I want to conceal it ASAP until I have a permanent fix :-P Appreciate the feedback guys

The main reason I went vinyl was that it seems less risky. If something went wrong, the guys at the wrapping shop would have taken it off and started again. That said, the "shine" is a bit less than if you were looking at straight tinted glass, so there is a bit of a trade-off.

3M 30% tinting complete.

Took a trip down to One Thousand Dunes Motorsports today (OTD Motorsports) and thanks to Dave and Sam and the team I had a set of KW V3 Coilovers installed. The wheels and exhaust are coming soon...

Having a black car in Dubai is hell isn't it? :D Last time I was there - all I saw was White cars all around! :)

Isn't there a sort of class with black cars in Dubai?
Like if you have a black car your labeled something?

Yep, it needs constant attention because of the dust and sand. Luckily you can have your car washed at all the malls and in many of the apartment blocks for around $6. There are guys with portable car wash kits all over the place :)

Maybe, I'm honestly not sure. I'm from New Zealand and black is our colour ;):
