actually, I really like the TRD kit painted in full white. It does look less agressiv, but still I like it. Thanks for the pictures. And very nice car you have there

Did the dealer paint the TRD kit? The paint doesn't match :/

I did another quick mod yesterday evening. Swopped the stock antenna for a sharkfin one. Excuse the poor pics - phone camera.

Before:

Colour match came out quite good. Better than the spoilers by far.

Love the look of the car but there is a design flaw I see you might want to take to a dealer to check out. Looks like they accidentally put an automatic in there! :)

Another lucky owner! I'm so jealous!

Oddly, I wasn't too sure about the automatic transmission. This is my first auto and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. Five-year-ago-me would spit at such blasphemy though.

Today I got a box in the mail with a TRD logo on it... Some goodies that I will get around to installing soon...

And in the box...

I've updated the initial post with a listing of what I've gotten. Notice a couple spare to make life easier on some fellow FT86 owners... :happy0180:

Finally got round to putting in some of the recent parts. I installed the instrument cluster hood from JPM Coachworks and the TRD carbon fiber dash panel. The car is quite dirty at the moment but here are some pictures anyway.

Both parts installed:

like the carbon fiber dash trip, looks good. Is it real CF or just a print?

The actual panel is plastic like the original, but it has a layer over it that looks like thin metal. Whether there is real CF on that layer, I'm not sure, but the whole thing is definitely not CF.

It does look pretty good though. It has glint even though it doesn't have any weave depression. The surface is completely smooth.
