Juanito08 05-16-2012 01:59 AM

I'm doing mine in carbon fiber hehe

WhiteGDB 05-16-2012 02:13 AM

The back of that license plate fame looks ready to scratch some paint.

Congrats BTW.

Brett 05-16-2012 06:27 AM

Let me know how you like the head unit you bought. I thought about getting one of those Pioneer units with the giant touch screen. I'm probably going to wait a bit, because the factory unit sucks less than I though (I actually does pretty much everything I want), even if it does look like it came from the $1 store!

Enjoy!

I just went and felt the back of mine. I don't think it's hard enough to scratch the paint.

Apex 05-16-2012 09:05 AM

What did the Pioneer head unit set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Lonewolf 05-16-2012 11:32 AM

First mod within twenty minutes of getting her home...that's gotta be some kind of record, lol.

What is that on the lower lip, vinyl wrap/tape? It looks mean.

Congrats man.

Turbowned 05-16-2012 12:17 PM

If you're going to flat black the roof, do it in vinyl. Paint will look like $#!T after just a few years. If you must paint, I say gloss black w/ clear coat.

rawbz 05-16-2012 12:21 PM

love the vinyl wrap on the front lip, how did you cut it out it looks like a perfect fit! Is it all one piece?

it'd also be great for not having to deal with the rock chips/sand blasting that front edge will probably suffer. Just peel it off and put on a new one if it gets too rough!

Afdad120108 05-16-2012 12:50 PM

I agree i believe a DIY thread is in order for this vinyl wrap u did looks real good i think i will do it to my whiteout when i get mine

ESBjiujitsu 05-16-2012 01:00 PM

How hats was it to get the stock head unit out? I want to swap in my aftermarket deck, but am paranoid about scratching the trim pieces.

Toyota of Dallas at 7PM on the 25th. It is the Dallas unveiling of the FRS.

You can steal the show by pulling up in your own FRS!

If you are on Facebook, then go to Toyota of Dallas' fan page and like their page and like their picture of the red FRS. That should score you an invite!

Not really feeling that, for some reason it's screaming, "I'm Batman!"

http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimag...istianBale.jpg

Maybe painting the inside of the lights might look a bit more appealing?

Staticfrost 05-20-2012 10:30 PM

I say nah also :s... if the rest of the tail lights were darker it would work i think. but yeah the clear is off putting.
