It weighs bugger all. I don't care. It is cosmetic.

Yeah yeah. Each to their own.

I have to say, i like the blackness of the GT, the only thing id like from the GTS is the Digital Speedo, but even then. its a bit of a novelty

Loki556 · 08-01-2012, 06:27 AM

I almost second that - I think in the future GT will still look fine, while GTS caters more to current trends.

BTW, has anyone tried removing the side 86 badge? I think those things look really ugly and the car would look much nicer if they were deleted.

JiB · 08-01-2012, 06:39 AM

I like the Emblem, but i dont like the side piston thingies. I will be changing over to the BRZ chrome du-dad once they become readily available

i thought chrome wrap was illegal in NSW

000 Racing · 08-05-2012, 10:03 PM

100% Race car never to hit the road... I am sure Chrome on a Street car in NSW is illegal as well.. but thanks for the heads up.

Well I bought a random sized piece and cut accordingly then wrapped, stretched, etc and trimmed the excess. Dash comes in 2 pieces

Right, so 1 piece from that ebay seller you listed is enough to do the 2 dash "bits"?

Cheers

I seriously can't stand these types of comments. I t's not a bloody f1 car. My pre drive dump would be three times the weight. But I guess I'm not a good enough driver to notice the new imbalance in weight distribution with all that vinyl on the dash. Rant over, btw if you were kidding then it's all good

Paragon · 08-06-2012, 05:17 AM

Lol in the time it took me to reply from my phone there were already 10 replies!

But there is nothing wrong with putting said chrome race car on a trailer, towing it around and blinding the fuck out of everyone

hmm..

i need a trailer.. and a race car..

000 Racing · 08-06-2012, 03:40 PM

I dont know about the road but it might work out well on the track for a sunny day... I've had a few white cars on the track and seem to get hit.. perhaps chrome will be more overt !!
... and for the towing thing.. lol .... generally very early morning or late after race day.. might help the sunglasses industry!!
BTW... $2200 to fit my wrap... must be a four person job over two days.. as I said that the bars would be off and the lights out?? Might have to learn a new trade.
