My '15 Halo Build

[Bergen23]

Well, where to start?

At the ripe, young age of 18 I first saw the 86 come into the world. Since then, I eagerly awaited it to be released. When it came out, I just couldn't afford it due to school and only working part time. Fast forward to 9 Dec 2014 when I picked up my new FR-S. In the past 2 and a half weeks, I've put about 1500km on it and have been steadily modifying it.

This is my first car that I've put any actual mods on. And have been doing everything myself, in the comfort of my garage. Lucky it's been a very mild winter so far up in the great white north.

As for a parts list, here's what I have so far:

Interior:
Weathertech floor mats
LED dome light
Black interior pieces

Exterior:
Tow hook plate holder
Switchback LED front turn signal bulbs
Window Visors
LED plate lights and Reverse lights
Clear side markers

Engine:
OFT (stg 1 91oct rom)
Nameless Axle Back (5" mufflers, blue/gold tips)

Suspension and Wheels:
DSG Performance Special Edition Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers
Powered By Max lower control arms
XXR 527 17x8.25 +25

Please excuse my pictures, just taking them on my phone for right now, until I can get a proper shoot done in the spring with everything finished up. Now onto the good stuff:

Some new pictures from today with the summer wheels on, VERY happy with how they turned out although the poke in the front is a bit much for me.

Still have to go and pick up my summer tires. The rims are currently still just sitting in their boxes. If you're curious what they look like mounted, guerilla racing has them on their website and have a few pictures of the wheels in the same size and offset as mine on their FR-S

Got the tires mounted. Needless to say, being 2500 km away from the car, and it being winter really, really sucks.

I'd like to paint the "Bridgestone" and "Potenza" labels. What's the best way to go about that?

I wouldn't do it. It starts to rub off over time and looks like shit.

Update:

Car is currently in the shop getting the coilovers and LCA's installed.

Big thanks to @jamies31 for the few pictures of it before they start tearing it apart.

No can do. Live in a quiet residential area. Neighbours have already complained politely once. Plus, I have no desire to listen to the drone as I do a lot of highway driving.

And, here's the "finished" product. Lowered about 1.5" all around. Will be going lower once spring comes around.

Made some more progress with this, installed some of the black interior bits. Fairly happy with how it came out, although the interior does seem a bit more "bland". Interior is dirty, don't care because winter.
