Clean looking MM! The subtle mods really add to the car's look. The TEs are a great touch and pretty aggressive, too, for our cars. But it looks to fit just right. Nice work!

I like the wheel fitment, but what's up with emblems glued to your seats? Lol

Overall, car looks very nice.

Not keen on the fender badges stuck on your seats though.

Aren't they uncomfortable on long journeys?

What's up with the ring around your TRD start button? Is that mean't to be carbon? Personally think the chrome OEM ring looks better.

Each to their own though fella.

Certainly unique with those mods.

Any more plans for the car in the future??

Do like the exterior styling a lot.

Looks great overall. Especially the wheels, stance, diffuser and headlights. Are your F emblems tinted?

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Much appreciated. I forgot to mention I had the mufflers on the Joe-Z exhaust powdercoated matte black as well, you can kinda see it in the pic. I wanted the rear of the car to flow nicely with the black tips and diffuser, the steel of the mufflers just didn't work.

LOL Well I wanted something "F" to be visible on the inside of the car looking in, and obviously the F logos stitched on the side of the bolsters are not visible. I was pumped when Sewell released the headrests from the 2014s with the embossed F, but there was no way in hell I was paying $500 for them. So this was the next best thing I think. And they're not glued, I took off all the foam tape and replaced it with new 3M tape.

With the emblems being in the spot they're in, it's impossible for any part of your back to touch them while driving. They're placed right above where your back starts to curve forward sitting up.

As for the TRD button, I wrapped the chrome ring in 3M carbon vinyl to match the other pieces I wrapped, and the F-Sport ****. I hate chrome.

It's not a teddy bear, it's a THWOMP!!

Thanks!! They're the Black Chrome emblems from (the former) Sewell.
