Starting Up- Cosmetic Mods
 

Whats up guys, I recently got my scion fr-s like 3 months ago and i'm extremely interested in adding kits and changing parts to my car. My knowledge for parts is kinda low so i'm in need of some help (just slight tips or helpful things to learn) plus i'm young so i'm just starting.


What i want:
TRD body kit
Perrin Performance 3" catback exhaust
Avante garde m310 18x9.0 +30 black rims
Valenti Red/chrome tail lights
LED headlights (don't know any specifics yet)

I have several questions if anyone can help out:

I was wondering if there are any quad tip exhausts other then the trd one because it's overpriced (imo) and i don't like the sound.

Also i was wondering if there are any interior led lights for the fr-s (I'm sure there are but i haven't really seen any.)

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

For quad tips^

For led interior lights do a search here on the forums. There are a bunch of vendors offering interior kits.

Thanks buddy :party0030:

Google search is your friend. Try using key words there are alot of helpful threads that usually exist before you post and some people on the forums may flame you for not searching. Try adding ft86.com after the key words on Google

don't waste your time with 'led headlights'.. the kits they sell are an absolute joke in output.

Haha i just want new LED head lights, not like little replacement bulbs.

ah, you mean accent lighting then..

i thought you were talking about kits like this

Well heres a noob question then, do they make a huge difference? I just want all my lights to be white instead of yellow(the little turn signal thing) and i want white fog lights.

I think the J2 Exhaust is quad tip.

If you're going with OEM TRD kit, it'll run you around $1500 before shipping. But there are many replicas, some ABS material ones on ebay for $300. But obviously, you'll get what you pay for.

i found a full kit for 1,700$, more reasonable then most websites.

$1,700 is a lot for a replica, and fiberglass as well. you can get a polyurethane one from a different vendor for much less, around $700-$800 shipped. For $1,700 you can buy a carbon fiber TRD replica kit from Version Select and have it painted. $1,700 for a replica fiber glass kit is way too much.

ooh i didnt even notice it was a replica, but thanks alot bud. Noob mistake :thumbup:

Here's a link to the factory TRD parts:

Be careful of this. Depending on which state you're in, white turn signals may or may not be legal.

One last question, How much do you think getting the kit painted would be?

Hmm i might just keep them yellow then.

from a quality shop, upwards of $500. I'm sure you could find budget shops for like $300-$400. but you usually get what you pay for.

i prefer quality so i'll prob go for a more expensive one. (Not like thats always going to work out though)

My advice. Wheels and tired and a set of nice coil changes the appearance quiet a bit.

Just to spread the words. A massive GB is going for Valenti tail lamps.

the led headlight bulbs? no. if you're going to upgrade the lighting, the better route to go is a hid kit, and the absolute best route to go is a retrofit with a hid kit.

hid kits can put more light on the road, where a retrofit and a hid kit make the best use of all that extra light..

agreed. besides, i think cars with white turn signals are trying too hard for ricerizm hall of fame..

instead, check out these bulbs(beware-- not the exact model you might need)-- i've run them for a while on my last car until i re-did all my lighting, and was very happy with them
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-SilverStar-27-Watt-Performance-Signal/dp/B000AMADZA"]Sylvania 1157A ST BP SilverStar 27-Watt High Performance Signal Light : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame]

they appear a blueish-chrome when off, but illuminate yellow for both parking and turn signal. so they are completely legal to use, and a heck of a lot better than any pnp led bulb, with the exception of vled's v3 triton bulb(i like the bulb, but hate the company)-- it's the only pnp led bulb i'd ever recommend running... but the triton is close to $100/pr, and vleds can't tell anyone an honest shipping date, so purchasing is more of a lottery than an outright sale...

Appreciate the help thanks buddy
