Cool Meet the VADER 86 .../^^\

2013 Raven FR-S 6AT w/ Factory option: BeSpoke, Trunk Mat, and Paint Protection Film

VADER 86

LOVE this car. This is my first new car and the first car I've ever wanted to show off and drive around just for fun!

I'm 22, I worked hard for this and it all was BEYOND worth it. I was the first in Tampa, FL with an FR-S, (although one forum member would dispute this). Received it on 5/23 so I somehow received it before it was released to the public and I wasn't a First 86er.

I've never been into cars but man is this thing changing my view on the automobile scene. I've already put a good chunk of change into mods here and there and my family and friends say I'm obsessed haha!



Mods so far:

- BeatSonic Antenna
- Stealth Chrome amber bulbs (turning signals)
- Five:Axis Spoiler
- DC Sport Stealth Exhaust Tips
- Replaced rear Scion & FR-S badges w/ JDM 86 piston badge
- "Legal" (darkest legal tint in FL) Window Tint
- GrimmSpeed LE 86 Oil Cap
- JDM Clear Sidemarkers
- LED Kit (dome, license plate, reverse, trunk)

Near-Future mods:

- GrimmSpeed LE 86 Battery Tie Down
- TRS Morimoto Elite HID System 5000K
- Perrin Drop-In Filter
- JDM Toyota front emblem
- JDM Toyota wheel Center caps (until I get new wheels)

Future mods:

- Wheels & Tires (not sure what yet)
- LED footlamps (Red)
- Fog Lights (when they're finally released in US!)
- Sound System
- Five:Axis Body kit


Pics as of 10/29/12:

Cellphone pics so don't expect professional grade shots haha

He's kinda dirty too ..

I love it when I see people looking my car up and down thinking it's a euro car or something because they don't see the usual car branding on the rear until I roll down my window when they ask and I tell them "Toyota 86"

No I don't think I'll be going that route haha! I'll stick with a Toyota emblem, anything otherwise would confuse people more than they already are.. (86 on the rear)
