Finally done with sprucing up. Full list of mods thus far:

- TRD Ducktail
- SARD T-iz catback exhaust
- Callipers
- Rear window TRD aero trim
- Tint
- Badge swap to a vintage Land Cruiser emblem of the original Toyota logo.
- KPMF Black Green Iridescent wrap
- Ceramic coat (and undercarriage)
- Winter tyres 🥶
- Disabled ASC
- Shorter, lighter shift knob.

Got some aftermarket side markers to swap out, MTEC clutch spring on the way,

She looks like Rudolph… just in time 😂

Ahhh, I saw a photo of this car crop on Reddit the other day, wondered if the owner was on here when I noticed that it was a UK car. Nice :)

Some gold/bronze wheels would really go well with the green.
 
Lovely colour. That's not marring on the rear quarter?
Noticed the same. I wonder how difficult it is to get rid of on a wrapped car. This would be a light polish on any clear coat or ceramic coated car.

Brilliant colour, would love for it to have been an option, alas Toyota does not endorse interesting colours.

Agree on the bronze wheels comment, although I'd go for the more subtle dark bronze in this case, with a nice offset to fill in the arches better.

Unsure of the badges. I think it would have looked cleaner with a dark one upfront and the rear one removed.

Amazing car nonetheless! :)
 
That looks fantastic, colour, wheels brilliant, only thing not 100% on are the red badges.

USA had the Hakone Edition GT86 which looks very similar

Yeah looks really good that. I’m digging the badges just with how it ties with all the other red accents but can see how dropping to something like a black badge really accentuates the green.
 
Wow - great colour choice apostle - somehow it’s both box fresh and yet reminds me of classic racing Jaguar sports cars - timeless!
Thanks! Yeah I feel like it’s still a fairly low key inconspicuous colour but still has that wow factor that BRG gets you. It probably helped driving it straight from collecting it at the Toyota dealership to my wrap guys 😁
 
What do you make of the exhaust?
It’s not obnoxiously loud like an axleback. It has no drone. The resonate sound of titanium is something quite distinct. It has some gorgeous popping on downshift blips, and can get some coming up through high revs. The kicker for me is that it still adheres to Japanese exhaust dB laws. It’s still loud on a cold start, and under load - but you can creep back home through a residential area without waking people up. Obviously being titanium it’s super light compared to stock, and no chance of rust.
