Can't wait to see mine in some real sun so it looks like yours! I am getting ceramic done so it should really pop. Hard to tell in your picture but are your windows tinted?

The color pops so good in the light. I feel like Toyota had a bit of a missed opportunity with all the photos they took when they announced the car.

Would also really like to do a leg sport duckbill again, but it doesn’t cover the OEM wing holes, so I’d have to have paint and body work done on the trunk which idk if I really want to do.

Minor update but I'm so hyped right now.
So a few years back, when I first saw the GR lip for the Kouki 86, I knew that's what I wanted if I ever got another 86. I'm a huge fan of the way it looks. Problem is it's soooo difficult to find somebody who can source it. Well, I went through a couple contacts I've met and known over the years who are now in Japan and they were able to put in an inquiry to see if they could get it. Good news: THEY CAN! Bad news: Direct from Toyota, the full lip is about $1,600 before shipping costs LUCKILY, I was able to find a used one on Yahoo Japan. There were 24 bids, price was only at $120 when I placed my bid. My max bid was set at $700, expecting the auction to go pretty high. To my surprise, I won the action... for $286! Shipping to the warehouse in JP then to the US will run about $300 or so, so all in all, I'm in about $600. The side pieces and hardware I already have a quote for direct from Toyota JP for $200 shipped, so it seems as though as I was able to score one of these for about $800 total, which is less than half the price of buying and shipping a brand new one. I do have the full parts list between hardware, the lip, and side pieces though after a bunch of research. So if anybody is also looking to pick up a GR lip for their Kouki 86, I can provide those numbers.

Oof best color and best lip in my opinion for the Kouki front end. I have your old set of mag blue TE37SLs lol. Can't wait to see what wheels you decide to go with on this build!

Having decided on the 86 - awesome color choice by the way!!! Being on this side of the decision if you could have picked up a CTR at a reasonable price do you think you would have still come back to the 86 regardless? Only wondering because I am thinking the same right now...

Rwd vs fwd. After having driven both I vote for the GT86.
The CTR will get you a lot of tickets and the 86 will be fun to drive at the limit. |
