Why no front fender flares? Zero's Hot Lava 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Zero · 07-14-2014, 08:48 PM

Did a real photoshoot this past weekend and it's been a while since I posted up some pics. Without further ado:

Here's how she looked last year:

Here's how she looks now:

that front plate looks like it's floating in those pictures

Looks pretty good !

Good looking car!

Also, I like how your sunglasses match your car. Unsure if that was intentional or not, but looks cool.

I know I am being the grammar police here...

but the word you were looking for is "ado".

a·dieu [uh-doo, uh-dyoo; French a-dyœ] Show IPA
interjection
1.
good-bye; farewell.
noun, plural a·dieus, a·dieux [uh-dooz, uh-dyooz; French a-dyœ] Show IPA .
2.
the act of leaving or departing; farewell.

a·do [uh-doo] Show IPA
noun
busy activity; bustle; fuss.
Origin:
1250–1300; Middle English (north) at do, a phrase equivalent to at to (< Old Norse, which used at with the infinitive) + do do1

Can be confused: à deux, adieu, ado (see synonym study at the current entry).

BTW I know you will probably get irritated by me saying that, but I bet you use the correct word later.

"Ado" and "adieu" are commonly confused...as are its a "mute point" which should of course be "moot point" and "I could care less"...which should be "I could NOT care less"...those are just pet peeves of mine.

I like everything about the car (especially that back end) except... yup the fender flares, maybe id like it more if they we're in the front as well, but by no means at all hating on your car, nice build bro

Looks like the fender flares off an old toyota truck so the locals could run massive mud tires, just feels out of place. That exhaust tip is also angled pretty aggressively for my taste. And those stickers are so out of place, but it is absolutely not my car and is probably exactly what you wanted.

Love the color of the car and the wheels...car looks very clean from the front. Just not my style.

Great photography!

ModBargains · 07-15-2014, 11:16 AM

I like it all. Gives that narrowing look. Took me a while to understand without the front flares, but you know what, I like it. Good job!

TwoFourFive · 07-15-2014, 02:37 PM

What trunk is that?

MeehowsBRZ · 07-15-2014, 02:57 PM

Yeah, so what's the reason for just the rear fender flares? It looks like its not finished imo.

continuecrushing · 07-15-2014, 03:04 PM

hmm, not bad...would love to see some front flares too!
