After 7 months of waiting they are finally here. Special order (P.C.D and color)

Some better shots:

In the meantime painted the sides of the OEM seats in red to match the rest of my interior.

CyberStork gauge needle caps (to be customized)

A/C control knobs

Painted the borders of my OEM floor mats:

Here's one of my favorite updates: Custom Design Gauge Faces.
They looks simple, but a lot of thought went into them. I tried to keep the design as minimalist as possible with highlights only on the rev tach.
It's like a Remix version of the FR-S stock one

.
Also custom painted the Stork needle caps with a dark tint over the metal and center ring to match.

Funny thing is that I used a combination of translucent paint and clear that created a rainbow effect on the surface depending on the angle that light hits it, which wasn't intended to be, but came out really nice.

Night Operation

I don't know anything about photography and lightning so these pictures really don't do justice.

Impressive build thread, love how you do all things yourself, and honestly I would never thought about painting seats and floor mats. Thats an awesome idea and it really looks good with the other red accents you have.

Raven86Project · 08-01-2017, 06:40 PM

Thank you very much for your kindness!

DandoX · 08-01-2017, 06:55 PM

You walk the tasteful mods line well. All that quality increase over the interior trim is well done. You should consider getting the seats re done in all leather with that same coloring, then again you are in FL so I get why it may not be a great idea. Keep it up man, looks great!

Raven86Project · 08-01-2017, 07:04 PM

Thank you for your comment! Yes! I will get them redone in the future with the matching interior, but after they get a little more worn out. I already have the design in mind

Very nice. What is the new duck bill you just purchased? I really like that one.

Raven86Project · 08-23-2017, 02:02 PM

Thank you! It's the ModBargains Duck Bill spoiler. Looks just like the TRD but more aggressive.

Alright, suspension project is finished. Shorter springs have been installed. Collars removed. This is as low as it goes with the air cups, which is fine by me. The springs are 8kg front 6kg rear and the ride is not harsh. The car feels great and not rubbing at all!

The cups give me over 2" in height

The works look amazing! I've been considering this wheel/ color combo as my next set of wheels. Haven't seen it too much on other twins.

Nice! I wonder what kind of gains HKS's UEL header can yield?
