Meet the VADER 86 .../^^\
 
2013 Raven FR-S 6AT w/ Factory option: BeSpoke, Trunk Mat, and Paint Protection Film

VADER 86 :fighting0040:

LOVE this car. This is my first new car and the first car I've ever wanted to show off and drive around just for fun!

I'm 22, I worked hard for this and it all was BEYOND worth it. I was the first in Tampa, FL with an FR-S, (although one forum member would dispute this). Received it on 5/23 so I somehow received it before it was released to the public and I wasn't a First 86er. :iono:

I've never been into cars but man is this thing changing my view on the automobile scene. I've already put a good chunk of change into mods here and there and my family and friends say I'm obsessed haha! :lol:



Mods so far:

- BeatSonic Antenna
- Stealth Chrome amber bulbs (turning signals)
- Five:Axis Spoiler
- DC Sport Stealth Exhaust Tips
- Replaced rear Scion & FR-S badges w/ JDM 86 piston badge
- "Legal" (darkest legal tint in FL) Window Tint
- GrimmSpeed LE 86 Oil Cap
- JDM Clear Sidemarkers
- LED Kit (dome, license plate, reverse, trunk)

Near-Future mods:

- GrimmSpeed LE 86 Battery Tie Down
- TRS Morimoto Elite HID System 5000K
- Perrin Drop-In Filter
- JDM Toyota front emblem
- JDM Toyota wheel Center caps (until I get new wheels)

Future mods:

- Wheels & Tires (not sure what yet)
- LED footlamps (Red)
- Fog Lights (when they're finally released in US!)
- Sound System
- Five:Axis Body kit


Pics as of 10/29/12:

I love it when I see people looking my car up and down thinking it's a euro car or something because they don't see the usual car branding on the rear until I roll down my window when they ask and I tell them "Toyota 86" :burnrubber:

You find someone to produce an Imperial crest to use as your front logo, you will have won ALL my respect!!! :bow:

No I don't think I'll be going that route haha! I'll stick with a Toyota emblem, anything otherwise would confuse people more than they already are.. (86 on the rear)
