Jav's Stormtrooper - 2014 Whiteout FRS
Hello!
After 3-4 years of dreaming about owning an FR-S, I finally stopped procrastinating and purchased mine on March 14, 2015. I bought a used white 2014 with 8k miles. My intentions were to get a manual 2014 monogram series, however this was the only manual FR-S within a 700 miles radius. Finding a theme I could work/live with was pretty challenging. I decided to go with a Stormtrooper. Which I am also working on my AE86 “Tie Fighter”. Most of my initial mods will be small budget items and DIYs. Once I get another job aside from being in the Air Force and can gather more funds, I’ll start dropping larger mods. I also apologize for the iPhone pics and rookie photographer skills, one day I'll have a real camera and some decent skills lol. Current Mod List Interior Mods: - OEM Audio + - Katzkin Leather Seats - 86 Steering Wheel Emblem Overlay - Vinyl Wrap Trims Exterior Mods: - TRD Exhaust - Helix Side Markers - Valenti Smoked Tails - Valenti Smoked Reverse light - Blacked Out Headlights - Kensun 12k HID Kit - Switchback Turn Signals - LED DRL & Fog lights - Backup Camera - Megan Racing Coilovers Engine Bay Mods: - TRD Intake - FT86 Gas Hood Shocks Misc Mods: - Toyota Key Emblem - Grimmspeed Relocation Plate Bracket Last edited by Jav; 07-26-2015 at 10:58 PM. |

Toyota Key Emlem
Ordered from amazon - [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005RIZ6TU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]link[/ame] By far the easiest mod. It took me a few minutes. Hardest part was trying to get the key ring back on lol. |

Just for future reference, you can order just the cover from the dealer for ~$10 a pop and have a genuine Toyota cover, but at least you have an extra set of buttons now Cars looking good! |
