FR-S Raven 2013 Hachi Roku build

I've started to lose track of the changes I've made, so thought I'd try to document it, also for others who might be interested to see/compare.

Waited for a while and in July 2013 but the first car had major issues which Scion/Subaru couldn't determine, so they kept the car and ordered another for me.

I received mine, in perfect new condition Aug 24th 2013.

Added graphics and clear bra, smoked tail lights

I designed a graphic which says: Hachi Roku and adjusted angle to fit door opening. I checked with a LOT of people including people in Japan to make sure ハチロク (phonetic "hachi roku") made sense opposed to just 八 六 (which is the numbers 8 6 / Hachi Roku). They all agreed either is fine, but ハチロク is a little more slang specific for the car, like when the show was on.

Here is my car in CA facing home / Japan:

I smoked the tail lights with plastic wrap and put carbon fiber wrap on the vents:
