We will now return to your regularly scheduled programming...

"They're the on/off switches for the standard rev-matching feature"

Did not know, that's really different, but oddly accessible.

Camaro's are the same way. Cost saving feature for GM so that they don't have to have 2 sets of steering wheels for the cars.

Impressive. I will say the new front end looks best in black, mainly because it allows the mouth guard to blend in. Any other color though and I still prefer the original.

Seems like a lot of work, but the important part is you're excited by it!

Gearbanger · 03-03-2018, 03:49 PM

Yeah mang I hear yah.

Tokay444 · 03-05-2018, 07:43 AM

Bruh it's not a clone just an 2017 spec in raven black with 860 wing and stripes. Plus the 860 doesn't make over 320 wheel. Lol
Some better pics from this weekend.

Imo I feel the 2017+ 86 front end is a better canvas than all others. And angles are subjective, you could make any car look better or worse with multiple angles.

See below:
GOOD

BAD

Gearbanger · 03-05-2018, 03:34 PM

Since I had both the 86 front end looks much better.

Well it goes without saying that the Lava can make any car look good (who buys blue cars anyway?) a big part of the pics you used is that the melted snout is covered up by the plate.

I do think that plates should somewhat be considered when looking at the aesthetics of a vehicles, excluding places that do not require them by law, and the people who love plate relocates.. yuck

See below (tried to find a non-camera picture for consistency):

Toyota Canada has good angles!

GOOD
