digital_assassin's Raven FR-S Five Axis Edition

[86-tundra]

Great build man, loving that color. Time to move down south with year long track days

[digital_assassin]

Yeah but that heat......

I moved to PDX 10 years ago from Phoenix and we still go visit family and now that I don't live there the heat is brutal.

Awesome car Digital, you did an amazing job so far. As for the emblems, you ordered them powder coated black? How much do you think it will cost to get them coated at a local shop? I have a raven FR-S as well and I think I am going to do a blackout with red highlights, almost for a vampire kinda theme/look. How do you think the headlights might look if instead of blacked out I did red?

Thanks man.

Emblems - save your $ and plastidip them.

Headlights - color match the red and find a way to get black accents in there. I think all blacked out on a red car looks killer too. Just retrofit BiXenon HID's and you can paint the High Beam / DRL reflector bowl too. #ihatechrome

Quik-Latch Anodized Minis. No more bumper popping out around the HL's.

Awesome, appreciate it. Is plastidip something I can do myself or is that a shop thing? And what do you mean by retofit? I've never modded before so some of these terms are new to me And do you have the P/N for the rear toyota T emblem? I picked up the Boxer 86 and was thinking about putting that on, but if I get the T's plastidipped red, I would rather have them on the front and back for uniformity.

you can get plastidip on the internet or at your local hardware store, though they only generally carry black at the hardware stores around me. retrofit is the process of removing and replacing the projectors in your headlights with new ones. check out theretrofitsource.com or do some youtube searches. go to ft86speedfactory.com or the likes to find rear emblem for toyota T. can also find on ebay.. about $30-40 I think

looks nice man... Are you goin to keep the color ?.

[digital_assassin]

Yeah, I think so. I really like this color.

Hey digital, how was it installing the conversion kit for you low beams? I am thinking about either installing a retro fir kit into my high beams to make them HIDs or just converting the lows into low/highs.

Sorry for the late response. No time to surf at work lately .

The retrofit is super easy. Only thing about opening up the headlights is there is always risk of a leak/condensation. HID's only come 2 ways, BiXenon (High/Low) or Standard (Low). So if you want High Beams as your HID you will need the BiXenon and at that point you might as well just stick them in the stock projector spot and kill the stock high beams. The BiXenon HID's are amazing. It's super bright on the highs!

I don't understand how you did the bondo so well. Are you a bondo expert? That looks amazing..

Thanks! It was really easy, I just gave it a foundation and then built it up.
