Drei's Asphalt FR-S
 
Hi all, was debating for a long time starting this, and finally got around to it.

I've had my car for almost a week now, I got it last Saturday, so it's been 6 days. I ordered it at the end of May, and timed it so I get it back after my 2 week long vacation.

Here it is at the dealership:

Here are some other pics I've taken the first weekend:

yesterday I decided to put in some LEDs and HIDs and got rid of the ugly dealer license plate covers and just placed smoked plastic covers:

and HIDs.. not sure why they look almost green, but they are 6000k and don't look green in person:

A 2 week vacation and a new car! Sounds great.:thumbup:

I like your color choice.

so after having it for a week and a bit, I have put over 1000KM on it, and am enjoying it more and more with every day that goes by.

Unfortunately exactly 1 week after the I got the car (this past Saturday) someone backed their van into my car and peeled out of the parking lot. I wasn't in the car at this point, I was coaching soccer on the field beside the parking lot.. When I went to look at it, there was about a 3-4 inch dent on the front bumper.. Needless to say I was angry, drove home, left the car on the driveway and went to drink beer and play Battlefield to try to de-stress... After a little over an hour, I came outside to look at the damage again, and to my delight the sun must have heated the bumper up, and the dent popped right back out as if brand new.. I just had to pop the grill back underneath and there is no damage, no paint cracks nothing... I couldn't believe it.. very lucky!

I also decided to swap the exhaust tips (just tips for now) with something that fits the cutouts better, as the stock Scion tips make me angry..

Here is one of each:

the do, just enough, i blurred it a bit, but you can see the plate, but its not too bright, which i prefer better than having it as bright as the sun back there

Hey, are your HID's a retrofit? the beam on the ground looks great and way better than drop ins that I have seen on the forum!

Nice car man!
