Car is looking great man love it

I still love the OE GT86 spoiler. Who did you go through and was the price reasonable?

I actually bought it through my local Subaru dealer! It was right under $500

:w00t: Photo!!

Good car!! I'm waiting to for new mods! The modified brake clipers in red i like more but i don't know left in this car.

I like your simple yet helpful mods.

How you liking the exhaust?

Sweet! Thanks. Did they do the install too or did you DIY?

Thanks!

The exhaust is awesome. I can feel a slight difference in acceleration and it sounds really good. It's loud when I want it be, and quiet when I need it too.

DIY. Took 2 hours

Your car is having an identity crisis...Toyota badges, but a "FRS" on the plates?

"Freakin' Real Sexy"

and yeah, I am stuck with that plate until December. Doesn't really affect anything..

Finished the brake calipers! They turned out very well!

wow nice man! howd you do those custom center caps??

What paint did u used. Diy?

Use*

I used VHT Brake Caliper Paint (Red), you can pick it up at any auto store really. Then I finished them with VHT (Clear), baked them in the oven for the paint to settle in, then put them back on.

35% tint on side windows, and rear

Got it done by Umbra Window Tinting in Schaumburg, IL.

Hey where did you get those center caps from? I think I may be switching out the FRS/Scion badges as well.

The center caps are just a laminate sticker. They've held out for a couple months now! I'm sure you could have some made at a local graphics shop.

Your car looks great! Love the "86" center caps. Clean and tasteful mods, too! Keep up the good work!

We've got a very similar build in many ways. Just ordered the Borla exhaust for mine. If you like simple/ practicle cosmetcis I would recommend the Rally Armor Mudflaps. They provide much more protection to the paint and give the car a much more aggressive look.

Finally fixed the license plate of my car so all the outside names matched ;)

Chicago was doing so good without any snow this season until this past month... Decided to throw on a set of General Altimax Arctic 215/45R-17 due to a bad experience in the snow (couldn't get up an incline, tires just spun). They give the stock rims a mean look. They handle great in the snow, tons of traction. Nice and deep tread!!

Installed footwell lighting. They are two Red LED 15'" Strips that are mounted underneath. I chose a switched option that is located just above the power outlet in the center console. Ordered through phastekperformance.com ! If anyone needs any other close up pictures just let me know.

I also ordered two extra 86 Piston badges to place over the "FRS" on the floor mats. Small but tasteful upgrade

How will you solve the steering wheel dilemma?

I kept all my stuff Scion, its too much trouble to change it.

Chicago Firestorm Crew!

Mostly likely get a different one in the future. Or if someone else on the forums here finds an easier solution! It's the only thing "Scion" on my car besides on the radio :P
