dang your car look hella nice :thumbup:

Man you car looks awesome. Love them taillights. I just might have to get me some.

hey Thanks bro! I told you to get your windows tinted ;) I can't wait to see how it looks now with the taillights since my car is tinted too :)

I strongly suggest you do :-) Really can recommend them, quality and also design is just awesome

hehehe, true. However I just hope they get it right this time, not like the last time I tried to get wingo tinted and they fucked up totally.

Oh by the way those valenti tail lights did they come smoke like that or you sprayed it your self?

you can order them like that, its the "SB" version, or "SBR" for the reverse light

Here you go, hope this helps. I tried to cover 3 different light settings go get you a good idea of the brightness. However, youtube converted the video a bit crappy, so it looks not as bright as the original movie material was.

Thanks bro! I really appreciate the time for you doing that. I really like these tail lights I wanna get the same smoke ones too now. Hey quick question. Would you ever vinyl wrap black/carbon your roof?

never was a big fan of black roofs, however thinking about a black stripe on the left 1/3 of the car. But I guess I'll just leave it as it is for now :-)

True the way your car looks I would do the same. I'm trying to see people who have vinyl wraps on the roof to see how it looks with the same mods like yours. I have another question. Do you have the Rear Diffuser installed on your car?

Not sure what you mean with diffuser. The Toyota Kit comes with a little Rear bumper addition in the middle, but I would not really call it a diffuser, as its rather optical than functional I guess

Not much changed since the last update. Basically, Wingo only got his windows tinted, thats about all that happened.

However, it starts to finally get warmer over here, and the mountain roads are accessible again (they are closed over winter due to massive snow)

Well, I took Wingo for a quick spin over one of the "smaller" Mountain roads after work today, as the bigger ones are still closed. The whole tour only took me about 4 hours, but had to hurry back home because weather got quiet nasty (you see some clouds already forming on the pictures)

Anyway, made some pictures for you guys, hope you enjoy the scenery as I did. I downsized and compressed the pictures so it wont take forever to load them :-) Hope quality is still good enough

did you use polarizer?

Awesome pics, do you mind if we post one to our Facebook page?

Not intentionally at least :-) I used the "auto" function on the cam as I only took some snapshots today. Had to hurry because weather got bad and had to move out of the mountain area before the weather hits me.

Thank you. Feel free to reuse the pictures aslong as you respect the source/copyright (basically not watermarking them so ppl think it has been done by you etc)

Of course, the photo won't be modified at all - thank you!! :thanks:

you need a polarizer especially shooting against the sky background. It will give you a better result with better color.

I see what you mean. Thanks for the hint, its actually quiet a big difference

gorgeous ride really like what you've done w/ it made me come out of lurking just to comment :)

bro,nice car and nice pic !

Epic photos bro.

A polarizing filter will not adjust the color temperature, like in the examples above. That example is IMHO doctored and not realistic.
The effect is mostly seen as darker, more vivid sky, and it will also reduce reflections in glass etc.
You don't NEED a polarizing filter, but get one to play with if you're a gadget freak like me :-)
(I have 2.... ;-)

Wow bro! Those pics....simply marvelous! Makes me want to go up into the mountains and take some pics...oh wait we ain't got no real mountains in Texas...oh wait there is a few out in west Texas...maybe I will hit up Big Ben national park....

Hi bee I'm getting the SB smoke valenti Tail lights like yours but USDM sometime next week! Can't wait!

Killerbee, your car is one of the few on these forums that I draw true inspiration from and gives me ideas on how to mod my 86 once I get one. :thumbsup:

USDM/JDM/EDM its basically the same. The first batch just got sent out being wired wrong from factory, and therefore being claimed they are JDM. However EDM and JDM are the same, still I had to rewire mine. So, you're really getting proper jdm stuff there ;-) Be sure to post up some picutres once installed.

Thanks for those kind words. I try to keep the original spirit of the car and yet giving it a decent personal touch without going to far. However, I find myself also struggling any other day not to go full TRD fanboy and buying crap like a TRD Tank filler cap for 40 USD and putting tons of stickers on the car;-) Its a hard life I tell you :-)
When is your 86 scheudled to arrive? And what specs?

My favorite car on the site. Beautiful.

Took Wingo for a spin in the Swiss Alps today. Made about 2h Go Pro Video, however to tired to check if its looking good.

For now, just some teaser pictures of the Video to come

Killerbee, it's photos like those that make me hate you.

You have so much fun ._.

Beautiful car, I can't get enough of your guy's scenery!!!!

With the Poloarizer it decreases stops of light.

Also I'd suggest a Nice UV Filter

Love everything about this car!!! This is what I wished mine looked like

If it helps, thats what Wingo looked after the tour... and guess who had to clean it ;-) So its not all fun :burnrubber:

I notice you like taking shots of the rear (I could barely pics find of the front)! :w00t: wheels.

Well the wing is what makes the statement! The more I see this car though the more I wish I had a full on Toyota 86. That front lip with the rocketbunny and those skirts would be pure heaven for me.

Love the lights too...car is looking sick man!! Beautiful scenery in the pics too...south Florida sucks for cool driving spots. Wish I still lived in SoCal......

True, however, not sure why :-) I guess it rather gives me the "ready to go" feeling... this and I always have soooo many dead insects on my front :-) but its a good point, I'll try to do some more front shots in future

What about Sebring, isnt that in Florida (even if its not that south) We dont even have a race track in the whole country :-(
But south florida makes it up with the beach, and ofc the road to key west. Been at least 10 times in Florida in my life, and planning next spring to be there again. Its just such a nice place.

Today is happy Badge Day :-)

Actually, I did expect my Grazio&Co 86Piston Side Emblems in matt black to arrive, which would finally complete my black/white look. However, Japanparts did send me the wrong emblems, so I ended up with Black Chrome T Mark Emblems.
I have to admit the black chrome looks killer, but still, wont fit into my "color" design so I'll have to check with japanparts what to do with them.
However I made a picture with the GT86 Badges I did procure for some in this forum, so you can compare the color from black chrome to normal chrome. However it does look way better in real live than on pictures.

If anyone is interessted in one of the GT86 Badges, just hit me up. Had one person change his mind so I got that one up for sale.

Car looks great!
Is the wing bolted to the trunk, or is it one piece?
