That's why I always keep stock parts to put back on. Then sell the car as stock. Then sell your parts. You never make your money back on parts when installed.

Resell? I think people concerned with that are leasing or not doing mods. I bought my FR-S with the intention of keeping until it or I can no longer function! That said, I've only done minor things so far, nothing irreversable.

Nice job BTW, been contemplating rebadging.

Thanks to this i can save myself $849 =)

doggy · 01-08-2013, 01:45 AM

woohoo another came out super nice!

Actually now then I see my steering wheel - I always think it meant to be like this from factory!

And actually seeing a normal 86 steering wheel in real life - OURS with Toyota logo - look MUCH better!

MissDeb · 01-09-2013, 11:36 AM

I need this along with T emblems on the front and back.

Ya I was wondering also, about the issues that may occur when the airbag blows in an accident.
