Plastidip on 2016 Stock FRS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Feathergun · 10-15-2016, 03:30 AM

Hey guys, I recently spent an entire day and $25.00 modding my 2016 Scion FR-S in Halo white. Have a little over 2,700 miles on the car and this is my second one. (First was 2013 10 Series AT, swapped out for MT when scion died and screamin' deals were found). Anyways, I had been thinking of doing the plastidip on my emblems for a while and bought a can at Lowes, then that quickly turned into Rims, and after that I couldn't quit. Ended up spending the entire day doing accents. Let me know what you think! Missing pic of it, but I did my fin as well. I'll check back and answer any questions if anyone has any.

Emblems looks good.
Wheels ok.
Fender garnishes a little too much.
Please stop.
Simple is clean.

Take it all off and save up for some actual modifications.

Careful with painted areas. I had my whole car done and it stained my clear

Liking everything except the tails. I'm sure anyone else with a triple digit IQ thinking the same.

I was worried about it looking lame with the tail lights, but honestly the red tail lights threw it all off IMO. I just bought a house so I couldn't afford to do things that I wanted to do to the car right this moment. The emblems I was going to do the way they normally do with the metal actually being black, but when I peeled off the front one that had a defect on the metal part I left the inside and liked it better that way, just made the emblem stand out a bit more. The RIMS are stock FRS rims, which unless I wanted to drop a bunch of money to accomplish the same thing look fine I think. Thanks for info about staining the clear coat, I'll be mindful of that.

I have to ask you:

Please remove the plastidip from your taillights.

Reasons:

1. Unsafe

2. Illegal

3. Cheap looking

I like the emblems, this is the kind of thing it is ment for.

Thanks!

To be clear, the tint was confirmed legal in my state. I did remove it recently as I've never really been the type to have tinted headlights, and I guess sounding a bit cliche "it just wasn't me." I like everything else, and I think the last part I need to balance out the fenders would be a black small trunk lip spoiler in the back, almost like the OEM one that is available as an addon on purchase. I think that would complete the look for the time being.
