Send a message via Yahoo to davey90
To be honest at first i wanted the white because my dealer talked me into it saying "oh, nah the extra paint cost doesn't apply...yada yada..." so i go "oh yeah, if that's the case white it is!". Then by the time I changed my mind, his like "I'll try, i doubt i can change the colour in time for you to blue" a week later he replied "Sorry man, i can't change it, if you really wanted it changed you'll be at the back of the line. =/" So i was like "ahh what the heck...white is white...not too fussed"

I don't mind the white. you could always wrap your car up.
http://www.provinyl.com.au/index.htm - I was thinking getting carbon fibre over the hood and roof, not sure if tinting the headlights is legal and i think it effects the brightness of the light too...maybe light tint on the tail lights...

Even ignoring the complete lack of knowledge about the 86, when I call Toyota and explain I have 40 grand in my pocket to spend on one of their products, I expect more than to be cold transferred to a sales rep who's not in the office and doesn't have voicemail.

Hiya Nix, also feel free to call me anytime, after hours is also fine, hence the reason i give my mobile number out.

we have a white GTS manual with factory Aero Package... build schedule for July.. expect arrival late July, early August...

Ph 07 30086433.
Prefer to sell to Qld residents or if you have a qld address.. too much mucking around doing interstate rego. And dont want to step on other Dealers toes.
