We got our test model Lava yesterday and while looking at it, it looked like it needed something to break the color. Custom Graphics from San Diego which is one of our vendors did it less than 2hrs by hand and looks like it should come that way from the factory.

Are you guys getting some darker wheels as well?

considered doing this as well but im hoping by the time i get an frs there is a full carbon fiber roof option. looks great! :thumbsup:

Nice, looks almost legit. Not my style personally. I also don't like the colored emblems, but this is what Scion has been all about as a brand. Customization. So I'm glad to see you guys living the Scion life with your demo car, and showing off just some simple things owners can do. Hopefully this will lead to some more sales to keep this vehicle alive and growing.

I don't think a "carbon" roof looks good with that color.

i think you should only do this with a black car or any car with black housing headlights

i think it looks better in lighter color like the whiteout cause it stands out more, it gives it a better contrast. the E92 M3 look better in white or light grey vs. the black i think because of the contrast in color.

i think they did a great job considering this was their first FR-S. looking at the fit and finish when things died down a bit with all our sold orders and wait listers coming in, it looks OEM. :D

with our test model were looking to get the GT spoiler, fog lights and led headlights from our vendor. we're up in the air about the trd springs and a staggered wheel and tire set up.

You do not want a full carbon roof. The work to install it is way too much work.
Pulling glass, drilling spot welds and so on.

Just do a wrap. Its funny as us with real carbon roofs will say wrap is smarter and better. But the guys that have no plans to do anything will call a roof wrap rice.
