My custom dash in my FRS

afaik no one is really a big fan of the fake carbon fiber either. At least it's subtle.

I think the reason everyone is giving him shit for this is because as forums age, they start to weed out people who don't agree with the majority vote. In the case of ft86club, the majority is "keep it stock, any mods should be performance-only". I'm sure there's tons of other car forums, even other frs/brz forums, where they would all absolutely love this. Ft86club just isn't one of them. Really no point in arguing over it because you won't be converting many performance-oriented members with something so extremely cosmetic.

And I think deep down, FRS owners don't want to be considered Scion owners (aka flashy late 90's fast and furious types). The worst thing about this car is the badge.

wow easy there! How did you come to the conclusion that I was bashing your relationship? You best check your facts before...calling me..names... .

Joking aside, Re-read my post and you'll see that I gave you my honest opinion about your "mod". At the end of the day it's your car, you do what you want with it, just remember not everyone will approve of it.

Yourself up for..

True from one point of view but a true "Car Enthusiast" doesn't and won't criticize another person car.
Just my opinion.

I'm very sorry Jim, I just felt like he was attacking my marriage. I love my wife very very much and I am proud to hang her garter on my review mirror. I hung my two most important accomplishments in my life on there. My wife and my service in the United States Army. Again Jim I am very sorry and it wont happen again.:happy0180:

I'm very sorry for the harsh words, I just love my wife very very much and I felt like you were attacking that and I reacted in a very unprofessional way. I hope that you can forgive me for my untasteful words.

I noticed you were military as soon as I saw those dog tags. They have your full name, social security number and religious preference stamped into them.



Probably should take them off or hang something else up there.

No worries my friend, I'm way ahead of you! You cannot make out what the dog tags say unless you are inside the car and I don't just let anybody in my car.

I think it looks pretty awesome, not gonna lie!

I wouldn't be so sure. With special image and video editing programs someone could blow up the dogtags, apply a sharpening mask with gaussian blur overlay, run the result through a high pass filter with contrast enhancement, and finally add color correction and a reverse pixellation filter to steal your identity.

Or so the movies tell me.

I may be a little biased, my last car was a first gen RX-7.

Back to the original post. I think any mods an owner wants to have done on their car is up to them. Whether or not I would do it is irrelevant.

Holy Cow! I Have No Idea What Any Of That Means But It Sounds Serious. I Will Take Them Down Immediately, Thank You So Much!
