Not entirely bad, I do wish the "vents" under the taillights were less dramatic or something:

Maybe its just me and Im an asshole but I completely lose respect for people who buy a car and then try to directly make it look like another car.

I think its classless and reeks of ricer/immaturity.

This goes for any car not just the Twins.

haha I'm inclined to agree. I like mods that enhance the car's features, not completely transform. I think in concept these things are cool, but seeing them executed in reality is a whole other experience.

I like the idea of it, would never do it. Ricey? I don't think so. Completely losing respect for someone based on that is pretty silly. Props to the company for making something quality instead of someone who thinks they're a master fiberglasser trying to make it themselves.

It doesn't look nearly as bad as some of the kits out there for the twins.

There are certainly many definitions of ricey, but the one I would go by is making modifications to a car to make it look like something that it's not, especially if it looks like a performance mod but actually doesn't give any performance benefits. Like big wings, big exhaust tips, and some body kits on a street car fall into that area too. So by that definition yeah a lot of these kits are ricey. Sure, it looks good but it's for appearances sake only.

Hey guys, so someone ended up backing into me and cracking bumper and stuff so I can get it replaced with whatever I want.

Does anyone know any nice bumpers that are around $325?
I don't care if it's duraflex or polyurethane or whatever it may be. As long as it's in the price range.

I've been having trouble finding bumpers online.

I believe this is an upgraded package called Hachiroku. I don't know much more aside from what's in this video. Sounds great and looks too classy. Love it.

Check it out: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNjgv6fIBdM"]Hachiroku Package[/ame]

It would be interesting to find out if any of the parts are available (except the new badge/wordmark, not feeling it). Very cool video too, totally sold the package.

I tried looking on Japanparts.com for you, but nothing is that cheap except an unpainted TRD rear bumper. You can get the knockoff around here or on eBay for about half the price unpainted. I'd advise that if you want something different and cheap. The ones on eBay or on here include the outlets integrated into the bumper design.

I hope that helps.

I think @Jive Turkey has the flattest-looking pieces you can get for the sides. For the rears you'll need aftermarket spats that point closer to the ground to make that simple, flat, boxy look. I have seen some around, just Google Image spats for FR-S or GT-86 (in various combinations of letter placement) and you should find them. The other day I was on Japanparts and just searched "rear" under "Toyota 86" and found a bunch of spats. Not cheap, for sure.

It looks a bit out of place when the rest of the body is stock/stock suspension but love the way the duck-tail looks on the FR-S
