Yes, the end 2 digits vary:
Lightning Red=RL
Rally Blue=PG
Crystal Black=V2
Dark Gray=EN
Galaxy Blue=B5
Sterling Silver=S3
Satin White=WU

Now does anyone know the part# of the FR-S pieces in Raven? (or anyone doing this on a Raven want to send me yours?

)

Though, now that I'm thinking about it, I'll probably remove the emblems and have to fill the holes so color won't matter.

That "someone" is me:

See this thread for more details on the rear emblem changeout. And here's some more pics of my car.

Cheers,

Keeping stock ones for now and I have given that some thought but for now I'll just keep the toyota emblem on it

And possibly a pic where the adhesive tape sits?

Thanks

As you can see the tape only runs along the side. On the pic I had taken some of the bottom portion of it off but you can get an idea of where it was

WOW... $160 per side.... i think the whole front bumper cover costs that much.

The only thing that bites is the vents are cosmetic.

Damn.. thanks heaps man. Is it easy to take off?
Do you need to squeeze the clips on the inner side to free them up or can you just pry off the whole thing out in one go?

Once I did the first one the second one was fast and easy. Longest thing was taking the leftover tape, I used goo gone for it. You pry them off. Start pulling from the side where the tape was at and work your way to the end. Cant be scared of breaking it, you have to put some force into it. I'll try to post a DYI towards the end of next week if I can

Ahh ok, looks like you started from the 'pointy' part(the top part) of the vent first if I'm correct in assuming that?

I really just want to cut that metal out and put a grill there. Just so I can tell my friends (In Clarkson Anorak Voice) , "That's a functional vent, you know... Keeps my engine 1.000684493 Degrees cooler..."

I went the other way with my BRZ. Traded for a set from an FR-S. I don't do fake vents, the shape of the FR-S panels seems to show off the sculpted line that goes from around the rear window forward at the top of the door and into those panels, and the GT-86 badge is awesome.
