On this mod in particular, you know you've 1. made the car look cheesy, and 2. completely ruined the output of the high beams right? That part of the headlight is chrome for a reason.

At least we know what a FR-S would look like if it traveled back in time to 1998 and ended up in the hands of a ricer.

Based on your other posts and 99% of people saying your mods are Cheesy/Ricer, I would just stop posting future mods. Unless you like getting tons of negative comments.

I don't think he's quite there yet.

If that were the case, he'd have one of these on the back of his car and a "Type-R" badge purchased from Pep Boys on his trunk lid.

Agreed. OP's old car had 9 modifications just on the passenger door and fender. I'm only seeing 2 modifications on the new car, even though the "SCION" is a pretty big modification. It's a shame, he probably took a big hit on the modifications when trading in the old car, as they would likely tear or leave a residue if he tried to remove them, and even if they came off in one piece, they probably wouldn't be strong enough to stick to the FRS. Time to start from scratch, I guess, but so far the modifications are big and aggressive, which is a step in the right direction from his subtle little modifications before.

I approve.

I'm thinking of doing something similar but would likely choose gunmetal or some other dark grey metallic instead of black because I think that'd blend with the Ultramarine better.
