God's Build - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

GodSays · 04-13-2013, 11:45 AM

I figured it's time to get on here and share my experience.
My car was one of the first86, she's been in and out of various companies R&D garages such as Engery Suspension and AEM. It's been a long lengthy process to get my car how it is now on a college students budget, definitely a life experience. I'll post more progress pics up soon.

I sat out to build a car that was nothing too over the top. I couldn't do the Rocket Bunny Kit, its too over the top for me. Plus I couldn't bring myself to have the car cut up. I try and make most of my mods with the mind set of having the ability to return the car back to stock.

I'd love to hear peoples opinions (Both good and bad) on my car. Also any performance suggestions since now I will be making most of the performance changes since aesthetics are done. Any questions for me are welcome and I will answer back as soon as I can.

Thanks!

Woah, that looks really good!

projectXTR · 04-13-2013, 12:53 PM

Fenders and trunk looking good !

suaveflooder · 04-13-2013, 01:05 PM

I like those fenders WAY more than I thought I would!!

Turbowned · 04-13-2013, 01:13 PM

So the Scion FR-S really is God's Chariot!

I like the look, but I would strongly suggest replacing the chicken wire mesh on the fenders with some black plastic mesh instead.

stanm · 04-13-2013, 03:23 PM

How much wider are those fenders? Looking good so far!

Yeah your right I especially hate the wire on the hood blacked out would look better. Thanks!

x2. I have the same hood. The first thing I did as soon as I got it was paint that mesh black. I'm probably going to remove it and go for some plastic mesh though...

Would love to see a pic with the blacked out mesh.
