@tomato860 's 2017 Supernova 860 Special Editon!
Hello fellow FRS/BRZ/86 owners! I recently just acquired my new vehicle, a 2017 Toyota 860 Special Edition in Solar Orange, and I have never been so excited about owning a car before! I have been a fellow car enthusiast ever since I was young and have always been fascinated by all cars! As a result, I am an automotive photographer (to an extent) on Instagram @CARSofplano and I would be happy to provide any 86 owner with a photoshoot in the DFW area.
So this is my new car. I have felt so welcome to the 86 community after joining the DFW86Club and by going to our local ‘Renegade’ Car Meets in Plano, TX. This car attracts endless on the road, which I find a little scary lol. All other 86 owners immediately run up to my car as I roll up to meets which I find absolutly warm and fascinating! Toyota of Plano has been my dealership I chose to business with after a absolutely terrible experience with Richardson. Please go give them your business if you’re in the market! Here are some pictures that I have accumulated over the past 3 days! And my old whip (LMAO it was a POS, ik) Follow my eventual build on Instagram @tomato860 and my automotive photography @CARSofplano !

Looks like it's time to update this thread a little. Car is sitting on some 18x8.75 et30 XXR 527 wheels. Not the best choice of wheels, but it serves my purpose.
And last but not least, always making new car friends!

Is your engine bay white? Here is Australia they brought out the Toyota 86 in a limited edition (with the brembos etc) in the same orange, but they were lazy as hell as the engine bay is white with bloody orange overspray

Unfortunately, my engine bay, like all other Supernova/Solar Oranges, is indeed white and full of orange overspray. It's definitely half-assed and an eye-sore to look at

It sucks because in person it is such a nice colour. Toyota said that orange isn't a good colour for primer. Ok then at least not have any overspray. If it was just white then it could be somewhat dealable.
