If I ever make it out to LA for FormulaD, I might hit you up to take a look at the car in person. The body kit isn't for everyone, but I'm sure as hell jealous you have the other parts I don't have on my TRD FRS lol.

Bro let me know. Yeah I like the slender clean look. I'm getting jdm front garnish tho and window sill.

Toms or crystals on tail would compliment this color nicely. Coming along great!!

Anaxilus · 07-09-2013, 01:27 AM

+1 for Crystals. I think another 10 FRS owner bought some red ones, was hoping to see what they looked like on it before committing.

Had another look at the paint today on a TC comparing to other colors. Have to say the Silver Ignition seems to do best at hiding orange peel, makes the paint look really clean and slick. Those black wheels also look better than I thought they would on the 0J8A.

Buy the Crystal Eye Smoke tail lights to match your 10 series TRD. the Crystal eye smokes will match the Silver of your car PERFECTLY!

I love the weave pattern...

Saw a video of a similiar install with the PST carbon drive shaft in the last picture, in the video the person shaved that bolt off completely for clearance issues. Was that an issue for you?

The lowest marketed coefficient of drag (0.27cd) assumes these are installed with the stock spoiler. I think the value bumps to 0.28cd with just the rear spoiler/no under panels and 0.29cd with no spoiler/no underpanels.

Anaxilus · 07-09-2013, 05:34 AM

How much were the underpanels?

Not happy to hear about the PST, paying good money for an imbalanced drive shaft? They need to just fix the product properly. Monkeywrenching and Kentucky windage is not appropriate on rotational masses.

Yes, that bolt was quite close to the shaft almost 2"-3'' of space between the shaft, so it was shaved off, I guess if there was a heavy bump in the road the person was afraid of hitting it, but if it were dangerous the stock drive shaft would have the same issue which is not the case.

I'm pretty sure the shaft is balanced fine

Nothing to worry about, beautiful car btw.

Luis_GT · 07-09-2013, 12:19 PM

I hope you do a dyno after its all completed... I want to know how much you'll be put to be putting down

Cudgel · 07-09-2013, 12:34 PM

Keep the goodies coming MR. TRD!!!

Anaxilus · 07-09-2013, 01:21 PM

Ah, the bolt you were referring to was not on the shaft itself. Confusing reading.
