That is kind of what I was trying to say. The OP got them from Japan, therefore I doubt they are LHD lights. The German lights would be LHD and is the same design since they get the GT86.

Retrofits can be troublesome and you have to bake apart the headlights to do it and then seal it back up and hope you didn't mess up somewhere. I prefer an oem piece that is setup right and don't have to be opened up. Plug and play is just easier.

Can you take some pics of the interior with the TRD shifter? Also, since you have the Toyota badges, now you need to get the GT-86 steering wheel!

LHD EDM lights would be the way to go if you don't want to go the retrofit route. However, it's not as bad as you think. I've built many headlight retrofits in the past and as long as you take your time it's pretty easy. Baking your headlights is very simple as well after the first time you do it.

The Retrofit Source is working on a bolt-in retrofit solution for the FRS which should be out later this year hopefully.

Please make us a write up on how to install the HID/LED headlamps and how much it will all cost.

Looks good! Were the side skirts 2 pieces? The black and white part being separate that combine? Great job!

Clear coat or plasti-dip the emblems.. then grab some white paint or something and fill in the scion letters. (or not)

Hey I also saw my first FIRESTORM FRS and it's my favorite color so far. I love it, got to sit in it, and it feels great honestly. I prefer the BRZ lights and maybe the BRZ seats, but other then that, I LOVE THE COLOR. Also, I love the shoulder grooves the hood has that flow with the wheel wells that is seen from the cabin.

If the JDM bodykits or the five axis become popular for the red, I will DEFFINITLY go with Red. You lucky bastard you

any tips on removing the side markers without breaking it?

i heard subaru made a very bad design and is very challenging to remove without damaging it.

tips please!

JB1 · 06-17-2012, 12:50 AM

Car looks amazing ! Was it hard swapping out the orange side makers for the clear ones ? I keep hearing you have to break the stock ones to get them off ?

You won't break anything if you take your time.
