how long did it take..... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hello guys,
What was your first mod of your car?
Also, how long did you guys take in order to mod your car the way you like it.
Because I just bought mine, but debating if I should start modding it with the basics, or not?

Exhaust tips?

Had parts weighting to be installed. Cosmetic stuff, JDM tips, sharkfin, trunk cover. But that's also cause I had to wait almost 3 months for it to arrive from date I ordered

My first mod was redding out the taillights, exhaust, coils.
For me, getting new mods one at a time seem more fun then getting everything and completing the build too fast.

I think mine was just replacing the bulbs with LEDs. It came with a TRD drop in filter so I guess that can be considered a mod. But yeah, I had most of my stuff sitting in my room months before I had the car.

about 3 months I'd say...then started with LEDs & HIDs... then exhaust...K&N drop in...wheels... & now projector fogs.

Bought my car and a couple days later I already ordered wheels. Wheels took 3 months to come in.

coilovers haha. about 7 months until I got it a way I was somewhat satisfied with it.

Tint. lol. I have lots of plans for my car, but I have to build up the funds a little bit here. My slush fund went to buying the car so it'll be another month or two before I sink any significant money into it.

Sharkfin, 5 axis rear spoiler, redout tails, license plate relocator, headlights, tips, annnnd I'm undecided on the rest.

Build at your own pace...I personally enjoy the anticipation and having to wait a little between changes :] However, if you get more kicks out of the end product, no one's stopping you from going all out!

I had camber bolts in the car within an hour of leaving the dealer

My first mod was a track day event. LOL I hit 1000 miles on the first lap of my first ever track event.

Then, ordered this on Amazon when I came back.

K&N Drop in filter.

I think I popped the cherry w/ clear sidemarkers. It was after 8 months or so stock.

Not really sure if that was the first though as I waited quite awhile to "do it" for the first time, but then once I did, I've done it a lot in a short amount of time!

2 days, window tint.
