LOL, how'd you get so many scratches already? I like the TRD emblem, do you race or that's just for looks? I debadged the scion and FRS logo from the back.

Wow. Well, Im guessing you have now learned the right way now? Too good looking of a car to not keep as pristine as possible. Congrats on a once again amazing looking car.:happy0180:

Beautiful work. I would love to have this done on my new Raven FRS!
