Toyota 86... 80's style by TRD - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Has anyone been able to find anymore pics of the Customize Concept showing the louvres? I've been looking around and can't find many at all.
I really like them but think they may look a little out of place.

I was with up until then, just one step too far. I would gladly take my mullet back if anyone could figure out where it ran off to when it decided to depart my company!

As for the airbrushed van, well, a lot of good memories there, well those I can remember.....

I like the louvers. Best part about this is it confirmed for me the Firestorm would look good with black fender accents. I've been contemplating plasti-dipping those. Think I'll do it now.

I'm a sucker for black and red. Have been ever since I owned this bad boy (well this isn't mine, mine had a black tail)

Gotta say, I love smaller diameter wheels with beefy/fat tires. If you have so much power that you need enormous brakes, bigger diameter wheels may be justified. But the FR-S/BRZ brakes are totally lost inside the stock 17" wheels.

Unfortunately, not many good tires in 15" sizes available any more

I might run 235/50-15 R888s if I had those wheels, though

Regarding the rear louver, it's actually a very good solution to keeping heat out of a car with a fastback roofline while maintaining good rear visibility at night.

Anyway, make mine satin black instead of glossy red

all it needs now is tee tops and Tawny Kitaen

NemesisPrime909 · 02-01-2013, 05:20 PM

That was the style back then and honestly, they are ugly as sin but the kids like it since it's JDM; Toscos or Mugen NR10!

My friend's mom had that exact same RX7, colour and all when I was in HS in 1980+. We used to absolutely whip that thing around corners and it was the first car I had ever experienced that in.

You don't know how long I've been on the Enkei Japan site staring at all their 15" and 16" wheels. Can you imagine how much fun 15s would be for drifting? How about some Barrels or Bajas!!!

I WANT THEM SO BAD but $500... aint nobody got money for that
