Julio86's Whiteout 6MT ;)
 
Alright so after waiting for years in the making I finally get to start the journey of enjoying my FR-S. Just got it from Longo Scion over in El Monte. Jeff Chang was my salesman and lemme tell ya, what a guy to work with. Very understanding, patient, knows his stuff about this car. Shoutout to Jeff cuz salesman should be more like him. Can't wait to drive my new car n enjoy the new car smell. I will be updating my post with new pics, And transformations she (frs) will go through. Glad to finally join the brotherhood of enthusiasts.

Well the back u can do it whatever %
But the front any % is illegal, but I almost never have my windows up. Right now just because it's still fresh. I like having wind coming in plus ppl always ask to roll windows down to ask "what car is that" lol

Wow. The black wrapped roof and bumper bottom look great!

If you don't mind me asking, what does something like that run cost-wise?

Looks good man!

Shagaliscious 06-17-2012 02:31 PM

I love the contrast of black & white on a car, looks so good. I think it would look good if you blacked out the headlights and smoked the sidemarkers too. I feel sorry for anyone who has to defile their car with a front plate...1 good thing about living in PA.

Love the black roof, very nice ride =)

Jayp 06-18-2012 01:14 AM

Your white shark fin antenna sticks out though on your black roof. Looks kind of out of place from the picture you provided.

Otherwise it looks really clean dude. I'm liking it a lot. Those blacked out Toyota badges, too nice. Great job!

So, did you do any prepping, what paint did you use, and what did you ask for at the dealer to get the correct sized badges, and did the badges match up with the holes in the bumper, or did you have tout off the plastic that goes in the holes on the bumper and trunk?

Asphaltfrs1 06-23-2012 10:10 AM

If only I was a fan of carbon fiber lol
I like the wrapping cause it's gonna protect your paint. I already have some debris marks from the 60 freeway :/

chate 06-27-2012 02:36 PM

Damn!!! Love it man, congrats! I think i might get mine vinyl wrapped too...looks great! I think the glossy look is way more attractive on the metallic white paint than the matte look wraps!

Julio86 06-27-2012 02:41 PM

Yeah me too. I feel like matte is only good on certain card. N this car looks great with gloss black ;)
