Great Odin's Raven! ~Null
![]() Hello everyone! My name is Brandon and I want to document the build of my 2013 Raven FR-S that I am calling "Null". My wife and I picked up the car May 11th of this year from Wondries Toyota in Alhambra Ca. I can't wait to update the thread when I upgrade anything, which probably won't be too often lol. Without further ado, here she is on the night we picked her up: ![]() ![]() Like I mentioned in my intro to the forum, my wife couldn't wait to put cheek prints on it apparently! ![]() First mods!! XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 Flat Black drilled ONLY for 5x100, mounted on Hankook Evo V12 225-40-18: ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry the car is dusty! It's the desert and I have a black car... I will detail the car and post better pics this weekend after I install: ![]() Eibach Sportline springs! I need to add a lot less height! ![]() Oh ya also installed Cusco Spin Drift button: ![]() Thanks for looking! I'm excited to have this car after so many years of not owning anything I could mod! See you at 86Fest!

Looking forward to pics after the suspension install...
Some redout or darker tails would look killer on your raven... |

Trust me I'm looking forward to pics too haha!
I'm going to be going with the Valenti smoked tails eventually. I love the modern look they bring to the rear. My plan is mostly black, with some flat black, carbon, and red accents where appropriate. I'm not one for body kits, but I would love a diffuser, duck bill spoiler, and front lip in carbon! Long term plans lol |

I finally got the suspension installed! My room mate and I worked on it Saturday morning and it took us about 3 hours. Not too bad at all!
Here it is in progress... No spring compressors needed! ![]() Here are the finished shots! I will take any picture requests as soon as I can! ![]() ![]() ![]() I might do a 5mm spacer in the rear, but it's no biggie. I love the look of it, and really can't wait to do tint next weekend!

Hey guys! I haven't updated in a while, so I figured I'd share! I got my tail lights from Valenti installed! I really like the look of them and can't wait to rewire them properly. Right now the triangle lights up with the v. I also have the front turn signals, but I need to buy or trade for a low profile jack lol... Let me know what you think!

Looks good man. How dark is that tint? Get some clear sidemarkers! If only you were local, I have an extra low pro jack I need to get rid of :c

I finally got around to installing my front turn signals! I ended up getting the smoked that match the valenti smoked tails. Install was painless with the included instructions. Pictures sucked though. Here she is as of today!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I really need to get a smoked side marker pretty soon! Oh ya... for anyone who cares, I ordered my first exhaust component today!! I bought the Invidia N1 catback in Stainless from Genome Tuning. I can't wait until it arrives so I can take pics and video of each step in the exhaust's development. I also really need to do a proper photoshoot... all I have is the Iphone.

Looks sick, I am planning on doing the Valenti tail + 3rd brake light combo you have on my C'thulhu (WRB BRZ) at some point. Maybe after I do some suspension work first!
