How is the sound of the quad tip?

I have a solution to your front lip vs garnish problem.

Ready?


Buy another FR-S or keep your Raven. :-)

Heh, the two things I didn't like.


I got over the fangs in the front since the lip gives it the agressive look you are taking away to begin with. I only got over the license plate bracket because the dealership had drilled into my bumper to begin with. But it's certainly not the end of the world. Ever since I installed my front lip every time I see a stock FRS, I feel like something is missing from the front.

To each his own.

I've looked at those on my never ending quest of fantasy upgrades...

I'm leaning towards this though...

Good choice. It fits your build better. Plus later on you could just swap the HKS header out with the TRD Japan header. ;-)

PS .. Have you seen the TRD widebody fenders yet? :happy0180:

@FiRStsc10n, not sure what you mean. Here's my original red next to a mates with white with the TRD exhaust AND full TRD rear. Not sure what you mean by black around the fog. It is painted.

Perhaps there's a different TRD USA one but the JDM one the OP would be looking at doesn't have black. You had me wondering so just wandered into my garage to check and it is all colour matched.

Each to their own but I think the colour coded TRD rear looks better than the stock black centre piece. And, magic with the TRD brushed metal diffuser.

Below is a picture of a mates white with the TRD rear alongside my original red with stock exhaust.

I haven't seen TRD wide body fenders. Have you got a link as I'd like to check them out?

Quad tip looks wide, nice. Love painted rear and spoiler. Is there a pic of the front buried in this thread? lol

It is after all my personal opinion, what I was referring to is I don't like how it is painted white on the rear exhaust surround. It gives it like two white fangs in the back. It looks much better color coated/dark paint in the bottom picture with the 12 year old. But from what supra2nv was stating, he is just going with cutouts on the black bumper.

When color coated all to the car, the kits looks great. TRD did something silly to the new Lexus IS too.

But in black looks amazing.
