Depending how deep the scratch is you can probably buff it out with a oribital or if its deep a buffer

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your awesome car! For the scratch it really all depends on the depth of it, Tvo gave a good way to possibly get it out. Good Luck!

I think I saw your Firestorm one day getting onto 360 from 20. I haven't seen many of these cars on the road so they're easy to spot even in traffic. I think people get confused about mine because the previous owner changed all the badges to Toyota badges. Not sure what that was about...

TRD_07 · 05-06-2013, 11:58 AM

I tend to be on 360 alot and also drive a Firestorm. I'm in Arlignton, what part are you from?

I live around Great Southwest/Mayfield.

TRD_07 · 05-06-2013, 12:12 PM

Is that considered as the Grand Prarie area?

tasinene · 05-06-2013, 12:15 PM

I'm assuming everything is still under the Toyota Service plan right now because everyone's cars are still fairly new right? I drive quite a bit and I was wondering how the dealerships in the Arlington area are as far as service (oil change, tire rotation).

Yes, it's a pretty weird thing. My street is Dallas County, one neighborhood over is Tarrant County.

TRD_07 · 05-06-2013, 12:18 PM

That I wouldn't know because I went with Motul for the engine, trans, and diff. I should go for a tire rotation though but maybe after a few more miles.

I live in the Kirby Creek neighborhood at that same location... I've seen an asphalt FRS driving, I'm in the silver BRZ with bronze wheels.

Very cool! I'll keep an eye out for you and your BRZ. I live in Lonestar Meadows right across Waterwood.

If I made some dfw 86 logos for everybody would they put it on their cars? I guess how it turns out though
