WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 642 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I installed the OEM mud guards today. Got them as a kit from here: http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=4390 Best price I could find.

Installation covered in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...s+installation

The guide has you removing the front wheels. This step is not necessary if you have a small or angle cordless drill. Turn the wheels out, this will give you enough room to drill the holes.

You have to reuse some of the plastic push pin fasteners so you need to be careful when removing them. I picked up a cheap pair of push pin pliers from Harbor Freight a few years ago. They are great for removing these without destroying them. http://www.harborfreight.com/push-pin-pliers-67400.html

I also had a problem using my full size DeWalt cordless drill. Even with the rear wheels off there was not enough space for the drill and bit to drill the holes. I had to borrow an angle drill from my neighbor.
Other than that it was a very easy install.

The mud guards are a bit subtle but functional. I had to point them out to my wife.

The only thing I would add to that is that you have to reuse some of the plastic push pin fasteners so you need to be careful when removing them.

This is how my car came from the factory. I keep forgetting that there are differences even within North America.

Changed out dome Trunk and licence plate bulbs from halogen to Leeds and did the Tails to turn mod. Thanks to @Diode Dynamics for these 10x thumbs up

"Just".

A lower price would be preferable.

Got my nameless axleback in the mail today and started removing my stock exhaust to find completely seized and rusted bolts

I'm going to have to dremel / chisel the nuts off tomorrow.
