Thumbs up WheeDude's Whiteout FRS Build

After debating whether or not we'll pick up this car for the shop. We decided to go for it and it was a great decision.

We've been posting a lot of our updates of our car on our facebook ( www.facebook.com/wheeldudedotcom ) page, but decided we should share all our updates here as well.

Here is a picture of it the day we picked it up:



The next day we couldn't help but to put some wheels on it, so even before getting suspension we decided to throw some wheels on it.

Mounted Gold Grids on the left:


and black ones on the right:


couple days later we lowered it on eibach sportlines and tinted the front windows:



That is our temporary drop since the KW's we ordered from Speed Element in Fremont, CA were on back order.

next setup we decided to try out was a square Rota Grid setup in 18x9.5 +38 all around with 255/35/18 tires all around as well.

We did 3 colors in this setup:

White


titanium chrome


full royal silver


we also did Toyota front and rear badges and the GT86 badge at this time:

You should throw some SVNs on it! My original idea was to put some flat black ones on mine so i bought them when I still had my tC... well they ended up going on my tC and then I sold them.... So I never got a chance to see what they look like on an FRS
