Mate, this looks fantastic. Keep up with a good work. i am guessing that the yellowish glare is due to the red inserts and not the resin as sometimes they tend to go yellow.

Well - here comes Firestorm plaque with the real GLOW Had some spare time - so did it like I wanted to do it 4 LED's and reflective CF + normal CF 86. Will connect it to interior light - so it will light up once the car is unlocked




Will post pics once installed

And to go along with all the 'fresh air' - new fresh air filter I was always using Apex' i cone filters and was super happy about them - and now vent with drop in by apex' i. Will see how it will perform after i make intake pipe Will be doing it in CF - so will add another point in LOOKS department
Which car is the snorkel from? It look like a good idea.

Yeah it looks good mate. What did you use? To be honest I thought you used a factory intake from another car and adapt it to fit your car. It looks quite nice.

I think GruppeM has done something similar:

Yea, this one looks similar - only it goes in front of the impact bar. I wanted to save foam - and not cut it... I used PVC plastic - which is super easy to work, bends / glues like a dream - and easy to sand...

The interior with the red CF looks really good. And the extra piece you made for the intake, I really like what you did there.

Ahhh - completely forgot what fun is to drive my FRS, cuz last 3 month all I was doing - was moving it from one garage to another... So yesterday I bought some 225/45 winter tires - mounted them on DAMN Fugly stock wheels - and took her for 250miles roundtrip - was smiling all day long Oh - and finally installed (fully) my fog lights Front end looks way better with them!
