I wish my FR-S would stop growing up so fast!

She seems to be growing up so fast and just going through so many changes! ha ha Well alot of these pictures were taken with my phone so i apologize for the quality of them in advance! Hope you enjoy

Exterior:
Toyota Emblem swap
Foglights w/yellow lenses
Black housing headlights
JDM window visors
HT Auto style front lip
Jonsmotoring rocker extensions
Tinted taillights
Painted roof black
Custom shark fin antenna
TRD spoiler

Interior:
Blacked out all silver trim
Flossy shift knob
Shift knob extender
LED interior lights

Engine:
Perrin Pulley
K&N drop in filter
Megan racing drift spec exhaust
J2 front pipe
Gutted header
genome tuning intake plugs

Suspension/Wheels:
BC Racing Extreme Low Coilovers
XXR 527 Bonze





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 and tag 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):












I did wrap the gas door, but decided to take it off.








Finally got my 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!



8/9 Painted the roof!















20$ Shark fin antenna (stock bmw shark fin)







So our stock antenna was a little wide so i had to shave a little off of both sides of the cover, and there was a dimple that i shaved off so that it would sit flush





Then i just put new double sided tape on it,





And then just put it on,








No more scion emblems. New Toyota emblems!!





Megan Racing Exhaust
Love the exhaust tone, but it does have a big clearance issue.

]













A few before and afters!!











Shot of clearance issue!!!





Then I decided to wire up a new brake light!












Then I had to make a cover for the open side because I just couldn't deal with that opening.






Updated 5/3/14

Jeez talk about bringing a thread back from the dead. A lot has changed on my car since i have posted in this thread but i figured i would share its progress. Blacked out the interior, blacked out headlights, coilovers, fog lights, wheels, lip kit, spoiler, window visors and a few other odds and ends.

Wait ... You did your emblems while on the car? Seems all I have read people are removing them. Clearly I have never done either before but I love the black emblems. Maybe give me a little more insight to how you did them? Please and thank you. And ya... Not so sure about that gas door hmmm.

Don't get me wrong, the tinted tails look good, but they are a safety issue.

I give it a month before you have a thread talking about getting rear ended
