Jav's Stormtrooper - 2014 Whiteout FRS
 
Hello! :scared0016:

After 3-4 years of dreaming about owning an FR-S, I finally stopped procrastinating and purchased mine on March 14, 2015. I bought a used white 2014 with 8k miles. My intentions were to get a manual 2014 monogram series, however this was the only manual FR-S within a 700 miles radius.

Finding a theme I could work/live with was pretty challenging. I decided to go with a Stormtrooper. Which I am also working on my AE86 “Tie Fighter”.

Most of my initial mods will be small budget items and DIYs. Once I get another job aside from being in the Air Force and can gather more funds, I’ll start dropping larger mods. I also apologize for the iPhone pics and rookie photographer skills, one day I'll have a real camera and some decent skills lol.

Toyota Key Emlem
Ordered from amazon - [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005RIZ6TU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]link[/ame]

By far the easiest mod. It took me a few minutes. Hardest part was trying to get the key ring back on lol.

Just for future reference, you can order just the cover from the dealer for ~$10 a pop and have a genuine Toyota cover, but at least you have an extra set of buttons now ;)

Cars looking good!

Vinyl Interior - 28 Mar 15
i bought the supplies off amazon - [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RGCKR6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailp age_o03_s00"]3m wrap[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QWTU94?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailp age_o02_s00"]cheap heat gun[/ame]

I really disliked the fake carbon fiber interior so i decided to wrap the interior white. I was also inspired by @636 and wanted to have a stormtrooper "embedded" with the wrap. this is the render i used:

it took me a few weeks to figure out what i wanted to add to the dash because it looked too simple. so i decided to get a sticker made from carstickers. i received my order on May 22nd.
