I started using ONR to wash mine a year or more ago and use only about a quart of distilled water for each wash. I really did it because it is easy and looks good, but the water savings are great.

As for lawns, I got rid of ours completely about 5 years ago. Even with watering during the summer it usually struggled to look decent. Plus I hate spending time on yard work and mowing! The wood chips and native plants we have now are no care and no or minimal water.

I took off the FRS badge that we all know doesn't look good and is oversized. It's funny how shitty of a badge it really is its so large and it's just one piece. The BRZ at least has each letter its own piece which makes it not look as cheap. I also changed the license plate cover with the FRS logo one in place of removing the stock badge. I think it looks cool with the red S and the red in the rear lights and reflector.

Let me know what you think.

Looks good without the badge. I should do that to my white one next time I wash it. Did you have to heat it up a lot to get it off?

DandoX · 03-28-2015, 11:33 PM

Yeah I just used a hair dryer, it wasn't very hard but it took a little bit of elbow grease.

All you need is some fishing line, hair dryer, and goo gone(automotive) and about 30-40 mins.

To be totally honest there is a little bit of residue or its sun bleached because very close if your looking at it in the right light you can still see the faint outline of the FRS badge. I had the car for about 2 years now and it sat in the sun a lot with that FRS badge so I'm not really that surprised. I feel confident that it can be buffed out though.

My advice is if you plan to do it there is no point in waiting and you should just go ahead and do it sooner than later to avoid any sun bleaching around the FRS badge.

P.S. the amazon link to the license plate frame I'm using: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHNTTMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: Scion FR-S Black License Plate Frame with Caps: Automotive[/ame]

I think it needs something..... perhaps a nice FRS would look good some place back there. Just saying. Not all of us think it looks cheap and ugly and big. Your car looks good though. Cheers.

Put my summer tires on too early, apparently. Banged up my bumper last evening thanks to 25 degree temps and turning my brain off. SMH.
