Man we really get screwed sometimes.. and moonslate is such a cooler name than "thunder"

all that makes me think of is ac/dc, and i hate ac/dc.

and now that i think about it, it seems more fitting that AUS would get a car color named thunder..

You'd have to really really like them

They were 37,000 yen which worked out around CAD$450 plus shipping for front and rear mats.
They also would not ship so I had to use a freight forwarder.

They are made to order but it was only a couple of weeks wait.

Yep, paint code PBA is Solid Gray/Moonslate/Thunder.

I don't know why but Toyota seem completely incapable of showing this color in their marketing and websites in any market.

Here is the official brochure I received with the car.
It looks nothing like the actual color.

Beautiful. All it needs is to move the steering wheel to the proper side of the car and it's perfect.

I'm in fucking love with this color, and I haven't even seen it in person. Heck, I'd love to repaint my car that color (so many dings and bottom of bumper is destroyed), but I'm a cheapo so I'm considering a similar dip + glossifier

Damn the OEM seats look way better over there!

A little time capsule of what 2017 was like in a stock 86! But also have it well driven too of course) But if anything, I'd only install TRD parts!

Looking forward to seeing what else you have planned!

Grown up mods, I like it!

I'd also include TOM'S and possibly GR with TRD but that's just me

Toyota would offer the performance package on an AT.. I emailed Subaru Marketing a while back and they said they wouldn't offer the performance package for an AT and only for the MT for 2017 & 18 models.

Car looks awesome though! Love the color!

monkeybike · 03-08-2018, 07:06 PM

Toyota offered the Solar Orange here with PP in MT only.
They are offering Moon Slate in both MT and AT.

Time to put fuel in the car for the first time so time for another simple fix.

Eww.

Better.
