The life of my FR-S thus far!
Well im new to the forum so i just thought i would share the few mods i have done to my car so far. Some of these pictures are not the best of quality so ill go ahead and apologize in advance.
Well the first thing i did was tint the windows: ![]() Then i plastidipped the emblems: ![]() ![]() Then i got some HID's: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then i changed out all the interior lights with LED's: ![]() ![]() ![]() Then i got some LED reverse lights: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then i tinted the taillights (i was very happy about this cause it was the first time i had attempted this, did my truck and car and my buddies truck): ![]() ![]() ![]() AND THIS IS JUST MY FAVORITE SHOT SO FAR: ![]() Well newest addition is front LED blinkers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 7/29 Well i have yet to decide what coilovers to get, but i wanted the car a little lower so for now i cut the springs. Let me just say this is a temporary fix! ![]() Latest addition to the car, painted the roof black! Sorry for the bad iphone pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

This needs to be moved to the FR-S forum. Nice car though. You should start an Owner's Journal in that forum as well, good way to keep a running thread of your car.

Nice man, I see you didn't waste much time tinting the taillights. One question, are the brake lights bright enough to shine through?

Moshpit37: I didn't even realize I had posted this in the BRZ section. Guess that's what I get for being a noob to the site. :/
M-17: You can see the brake lights perfectly, in the picture they look really dark for some reason but I only did a couple coats so they are actually a lot lighter looking in person. I just wanted to get rid of that chrome look. |

Im hoping the next thing is lowering it, but im not really satisfied with most the springs out there and i dont really want to fork out the cash for coilovers yet. But i have a few more DIY mods im going to attempt here in the next couple days!

The emblems look great though! That is exactly what I've been thinking about doing. It now is on my official "gotta do" list. |

Very nice DadHawk! I love the two tone look the car is getting now. I am not really into the gas door thing. I would maybe consider a flat black roof vinyl or front grill vinyl.

I don't think the fuel door is cheesy. There is nothing special about it remaining red paint-- may as well change it to a nice CF vinyl. Not every single bit needs to be a $400 authentic fully CF part.

I actually feel like the more I look at it the more I like it, I mean the car has what's suppose to be a carbon fiber look all over it. I'll prob leave it, I like to be different!

you're going to piss off some drivers with those faux-HID headlights.

For the fuel door to look good I think you need some darker wheels...

Well you certainly didn't waste any time. Nice mods so far and welcome to the forum!
Looking forward to see what you'll be modding next!
