2015 Firestorm Makeover

[Vinsanity091]

So the past two weekends I spent completely removing all of the chrome look from the outside of my car as well as rebadging from Scion FR-S to Toyota GT-86 everywhere possible inside and out. There were some headaches along the way with installing some things, but if you have any questions on anything you see, just let me know and I'll try to answer the best I can. Everything that I bought for this makeover, I got from ft86speedfactory.com if you're interested in doing the same thing to yours. I really like the black and red look that the car has now. It definitely creates a more aggressive stance for the car.

looks great!

love the TRD rims, nice touch

I like the rims and the way the front end is all blacked out! Good job

looks nice. I say lower a little more and add a lip kit.

[SilverFRS]

Perfect as is, no need to go lower and compromise handling nor add anything, super clean!

You confirmed to me that I have to get red
The car is so clean.
What springs do you have?
I agree that it looks good at that height

Thanks for the compliments!
And yes, red is truly a beautiful color for this car. Plus it matches the interior stitching if you are OCD like that. I may be. :P
My car has the TRD lowering springs from the dealer. I had all of the TRD accessories added from the dealership in case you were wondering about any other exterior mods that you noticed.

Well done

Few things I noticed, I am about to make an order on ft86 and your post came at a perfect time.

Did you order that 4th lower brake light from them?
The side markers which ones did you end up with ?
And the turn signals on the bumper above where the fog light would be, is that stock just smoked or did you get that from ft86 too?

Yes my daughter is very bothered that you would have any other color with the red interior ��. There are no red BRZ's in California, so I will have to give up push button start for red.

Saved my life brotha, those are the exact same ones I am about to order. Great to see them in actual pics AND my color nonetheless... Let me be a pain in the ass....


The fourth brake light...... how is the sequence?


Driving with headlights on.... I take it, that the V is lit up alone, once you press the brake then the 4th brakelight comes up?


If you are feeling generous would be great if you could take a picture for me with no brakes applied just lights on

This is how I wired it up. I just followed the Valenti tail light install on Youtube even though the bumper light isn't Valenti, the install is the same. I wired the brown to the blue wire and the blue to the red wire, which is backwards to the Valenti instructions.
