K-Vix's Hot Lava "Villain" 2014 Monogram Build - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kvix · 06-16-2014, 01:48 PM

Hey everyone. I figured I'd start a build thread w/ some pics to showcase my car's ongoing transformation from stock. I purchased a 2014 Hot Lava Monogram about three weeks ago (traded in my '11 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited) and have been busy since then configuring the car into it's "Villain" title.

On a side note, I'm located in the East Anaheim area, and always down to meet up and chill w/ any local FRS/BRZ owners that just want to kick it or cruise around. I went to my first meetup two nights ago in Glendora - Saturday, June 14th - and was welcomed by a warm community. It was nice to see a group of humble people with great attitudes getting together to hang out - shoutout to "Moetivegt86" and "jebuwh" for being chill and putting that event together.

I want to give a huge thanks to ModBargains (these guys are incredibly amazing and I highly recommend them), as well as FuzionTeknique (you the man Alex!)

Without further ado:

Phase 1:
Avant Garde M310 Matte Black 18x8 +30 Squared Wheels (completed)
Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 225/40/18 Tires(completed)
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs (completed)

This is a very clean build. How do you like the ARK GRiP exhaust?

ModBargains · 06-17-2014, 01:09 PM

Thanks man! I absolutely love the GRiP. It has an aggressive tone and appearance, no rasp/drone, and isn't obnoxiously loud. Love em with the burnt tips too

Thanks Lonewolf! I think I'm pretty much set on the aesthetics at this point, apart from smoking the taillights in the future and maybe some other minor things like fender trim panels, but I like the look as of now. Going to move more towards performance upgrades (and hopefully turbo kit in near future *fingers crossed*

)

Niceee. I like. The same kit setup Im going for minus the roof and rims. It looks so good as it is. The body line of the car with the lip extension gives it a nice look without needing a crazier kit.

SimplePortal · 06-18-2014, 12:20 AM

Love the wheels. How much are you lowered? How is the handling?

Thanks Maowc! It definitely gives it an aggressive appearance without being too over-the-top. Looking forward to seeing pics of your setup when you get around to it!

Thanks Simple! I'm lowered about an inch w/ the Eibach Pro Kit springs. The handling is superb and I couldn't ask for a more smoother/responsive feel.
