Wink 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

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.

Helix Side Marker
I ordered mine from @fteightysix -Group Buy Thread

Another fairly easy mod. It took me around 15-20 mins.
I would of washed the car prior to taking these pics, however its been raining/snowing the past few days.







I will try to take some pictures when it is darker out.

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!
