Debadged the FR-S today. Going to order Toyota badges (and wheel caps).
Also trying to figure out what the hell is up with my passenger sidemarker. A-clip will not pop in no matter what. Don't want to resort to ziptying or tape, so did anyone manage to fix theirs without resorting to such methods? |

The holes are indeed bent; I've tried bending them back into place, but no such luck. It doesn't look like it's such an easy part to replace either. |

It's black metal right? I think it has a bolt and maybe a rivit in it. If so, you can drill out the rivit and replace it with a pop rivit (available at any reasonable hardware store). Honestly just use the ziptie. Those Aclips are garbage

The challenge is to see how far I can last with A-clips before I lose my shit with them. I'm going to pop off the bumper a few more times for an oil cooler and supercharger install, but that won't be for a while thankfully. Right now, I want to repair any minor damage and finally start using my newly acquired HIDs on the road again. Honestly can't wait for more parts to come in. |

What!!! How did you find those!?! Those wheels are rare! I call dibs on those if you decide to go for the tws t66-f in the future
On another note, was that you in your warm-up/cooldown lap in speed academy's review of the ls swapped blue foxbody mustang? |
