Hey where did you get those center caps from? I think I may be switching out the FRS/Scion badges as well.

The center caps are just a laminate sticker. They've held out for a couple months now! I'm sure you could have some made at a local graphics shop.

Your car looks great! Love the "86" center caps. Clean and tasteful mods, too! Keep up the good work!

We've got a very similar build in many ways. Just ordered the Borla exhaust for mine. If you like simple/ practicle cosmetcis I would recommend the Rally Armor Mudflaps. They provide much more protection to the paint and give the car a much more aggressive look.

Finally fixed the license plate of my car so all the outside names matched

Chicago was doing so good without any snow this season until this past month... Decided to throw on a set of General Altimax Arctic 215/45R-17 due to a bad experience in the snow (couldn't get up an incline, tires just spun). They give the stock rims a mean look. They handle great in the snow, tons of traction. Nice and deep tread!!

Installed footwell lighting. They are two Red LED 15'" Strips that are mounted underneath. I chose a switched option that is located just above the power outlet in the center console. Ordered through phastekperformance.com ! If anyone needs any other close up pictures just let me know.

I also ordered two extra 86 Piston badges to place over the "FRS" on the floor mats. Small but tasteful upgrade

Mostly likely get a different one in the future. Or if someone else on the forums here finds an easier solution! It's the only thing "Scion" on my car besides on the radio :P
