Rudolph The Red-Nosed FR-S! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Texas BRZ · 12-05-2012, 06:36 PM

I've always been curious to try out the reindeer antlers and red nose from 'Rudolph'

... So I decided that it would be fun to play the trick on my FR-S.

Can't go wrong with the $10 bucks spent... Both my kids were ecstatic when I pulled in at home after work, haha... My 1 year old keeps waving and saying 'HI' to my car because she thinks the car is waving back at her with the antler(s)... LoL!

Always witnessed other family cars on the road with the reindeer antler package... Never a sports car, so I thought I'd give it a shot, hehe!

put the nose on the scion emblem and it will look better. the air dam is the "mouth" of the car, not the nose.

Hmmm... You have a point, but the only way I can think of doing that is if I use some sort of large double-sided tape behind the nose.

Also, the red nose stands out better in front of the black plastic air dam area (since my car is already red), no?

It was easier to just use the zip tie string that came along (perhaps will hold more securely too?)... But I'll gladly apply the change if more folks also feel the same way...

Put it on the real nose!!

it's fine, i guess. even if you use double sided tape, i'm sure it'll come off when you drive at highway speed. why don't you try fastening the nose to the highest possible part of the air dam grill.

I was feeling the same way... In regards to the nose flying off if I tried taping it on the actual nose of the car... Hehe.

I've already fastened the nose all the way on the topmost section of the air dam grill...

You're right, it doesn't look perfect, but I suppose it'll do the job...

Can you lift the hood and then tie to the hood latch somehow and shut it with the nose sticking out?
