Got My FR-S Tonight! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

frsinpa · 06-13-2012, 12:52 AM

Hey guys - been browsing the forums for several weeks, but tonight I officially got my new FR-S. I traded in my 2003 Camry SE and before that I had a 1992 Celica GT.

It's a Raven-AT - as far as options I got the front paint protection and rear bumper appliqué.

Sorry for the bad pic (my dad isn't the best at working the iPhone camera), haha - but ill add some pics tomorrow when I can get some actual sunlight.

Anyways - it feels great to be part of the league of extraordinary gentlemen. I absolutely love this car and it's such a blast to drive.

As far as mods, I plan to get 15% tint all around (which is highly illegal in PA), but I really like that blacked out look.

edit: updated pics

Grats! How are the paddle shifters?

Welcome to the club. Eastern PA here... We did 20% tint... And it's plenty blacked out... Though everyone keeps asking me if it's legal...so it worries me. Raven MT here.. which I LOVE...

Hope you find yourself getting as much random attention as we do... People taking pics of the car when we walk into the gas station... others slowing down or stopping to check it out as they drive by...

It's a sweet car... again, welcome.

Congrats

Haha looks like a convertible from the angle the pic was taken!

Good looking car.

5% tint is ridiculous. I had a GMC Sierra with 5% once, makes me feel really old now because there's no way I'd do that now. I couldn't see out the side windows hardly at all at night and usually had to roll them down to drive. No possible way anyone could see in no matter how close they got.

Hurrying to roll down all the windows every time I saw a cop, what a hassle.

Nice. Prepare for sweet driving satisfaction.

MarkRacerX · 06-13-2012, 01:14 AM

Enjoy !!

rikdrt1 · 06-13-2012, 01:16 AM

nice car and good color choice !!!

Congrats. The league has a new member. Let us rejoice by destroying our tires!!!!

Rethink the 5% it's just not worth it. You'll be ticketed before the year is over. Go 35% all around. You will be happy.

rikdrt1 · 06-13-2012, 01:19 AM

Oh BTW, i just did mine with 15% on the back and 40% on the sides..

and even like that, its dark pretty good - people would bet its 15% all the way around it looks hot that way too..

i think 5% is going to be so dark, you will certainly get pulled over...
