I am a 53 year old fan/owner of the Toyota 86 I keep asking mysrlf WHY does anyone want to change a perfectly good looking car? Then someone does this to it and I have to re-think everything I thought previously. All I can say is you have done an awesome job with this man, congrats

I've been debating getting my car wrapped down the road. Especially since the Subaru paint is so cheap and easily dinged. After seeing your yellow wrap, I think I'm sold on it!
Awesome car!!!!

I never noticed this until looking at your amazing ride. But what are those rectangles on the bumper cover of the GT86? The FR-S bumper cover is lacking those (I ask because I dream of the day of making a replica GT86 out of my FR-S and want to get it as close as possible). I've always been a fan of Toyota (only cars I've ever owned) but I HATE the Scion marque here in the states. I don't understand the need to re-brand a perfectly respectable company.

Why use Winjets when you already had the JDM headlights?

Car looks great though.

BTW hows the Tein Street Flex? I just got mine recently and have yet to install them.

had the Winjet on because of the black housing, it looks a lot more mean,
didnt want to take apart my original ones...

the Tein street flex are great, good value for money! if you do a lot of DD and wont track much then this is enough.
