Had no idea about dewclaws.  Learned something today.

Also, we need a dog smiley to go with the  .

Repeated attempted green-white-checkered finishes, while everybody runs out of fuel is more farcical than everything else to do with the Piston Cup.

I should get Lexus badges for muh 86

 Is... that a thing? Please tell me that's not really a thing?

Oh, gawd ...  

I've always thought this sexy concept was on the 86 platform - http://www.netcarshow.com/lexus/2012-lf-lc_concept/

Some BRZ fender vents and maybe a front fascia would be a reasonable way to improve the looks.

[Forgetful]

I don't think Lexus badges on an 86 is a thing... yet, but Toyota badges on a Scion is already. 


Corolla Levin?  Needs popups to be a Sprinter Trueno.


I bet that vent on the BRZ is fake. There's a smaller one on the FR-S and it's just a plastic insert styling feature.


I don't have the HID & LED headlights. Could do those. No foglamps either. Spoiler and exhaust go on on Tuesday.

Figured out last night how to set my shift light indicator. It even has an optional beep when the shift light comes on.

Winter rims?

Probably - still looks better than the FR-S86 one.  Get an aftermarket (real) speed hole in there.  

Did you get the spoiler that looks like the Type A one in GT5?  'Cuz that one is horrifyingly similar to second-gen Neon rear spoilers.

Also winter tires go on the stock (fugly) wheels; good wheels are for summer tires.

[Forgetful]

Yeh, that's the wing.






I think I want this FiveAxis one though

Or THIS:

[HWKII]

What in hell is the point of that?

[Forgetful]

Aero stabilizer... apparently  



 
No one seems to have anything functional. This is the best I could find (don't like the name in it though)


You go drive one yet?

[Forgetful]

OMG I'm getting these

Hmmm... which pattern. I think I like the red & white.

[clacksman]

I ... like those finned speed holes.   

Not sure about the taillights, would want to see working first.

So apparently something this dramatic isn't such a big deal to do, and better yet, it's temporary but durable.

It's a rubber based adhesive spray called Plastidip. It's sprayed on in a few coats and should last up to 3 years, but can be peeled off when you're tired of your lime green rims on your champagne gold Corolla.
 
Some people are doing their whole cars in this stuff, changing colours from season to season.


Sorry Ben, I'm afraid you can have your cake and eat it too.

Plastidip is fun.  Good for at most two winters here based on seeing local ricers (mis-)use it.

[Forgetful]

Would totally do my rims when the winters go on.

I wonder what it would look like if you whited out the black plastic grills?

 Two tone. Classorific.

[clacksman]

Classorific.

You know who has their entire car or set of wheels plastidipped just one colour?  

Suckers, that's who.
