So I carried right along and installed a bunch of LED's I just received....low beam, high beam DRL, reverse lights, trunk light and plate lights.

Then I took my wifes hair dryer and "good tupperware" spatula and pried off my scion emblems and prepped the areas for the aftermarket black and red ones I have on order.

And to finish my night off i instelled my new JDM red leather shift knob.

All in all I'd call that a good day for me and my FR-S.

Pictures of the LEDs?

In the process of having the massive spoiler removed and the holes patched up whilst I find a replacement spoiler such as the TRD! Problem is I live in Thailand... I will upload the pictures on Monday once I have the car back. OH, also, I am removing the Toyota word on the back.

Future plans. Add a carbon / black vinyl to the roof and potentially at the wing mirrors or where the 86 logo is on the side, paint the brakes red, MAYBE color the wheels (black?) change the antenna for a shark fin, get better number plate holders. Perhaps some cosmetic touchups inside? Oh, and replace the exhausts (is it worth it?) - anyone have a sound comparison on a replaced exhaust?

@kaparmar. I have basically everything done that you mentioned. I love my exhaust, so worth it. Sound is amazing. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356184547.548806.jpg

@kaparmar I'm sure people here in the states would love to get that spoiler. ( I'm thinking about the FiveAD lip myself)

Ordered some Carbon Fiber for the interior. Going to replace the dash, bottom of steering wheel cover, door handles, and shifter trim.

Finally got the spoiler removed along with the Toyota label at the back, and SBrand Thailand did an amazing job at touching up the holes, etc. no sign of anything!

Anyone have any clue what a spoiler like this would go for (mint condition)? If anyone's interested, by all means, PM me.

@jeffsides
You're right! It looks amazing. My only issue living in Thailand is sourcing the stuff! :-s

Clay barred and waxed my car...probably about 6 hours total of work...worth it though. Check this crappy side shot...the paint looks as deep as the ocean now

Time to go drive on salted and sanded roads
