That is a lot of parts. I'm not sure the Subaru mirror if it is a BRZ one is auto dimming and the frameless Toyota one is much nicer looking. Please take this with a pinch of salt but given these cars are so rare, I'd love to see one that is just as it came out of the factory. No additional bits, only the TRD bits that it comes with, as it already comes with the TRD seats and steering wheel and all that. Adding things like an armrest when the stitching colour won't match may look out of place. I'm just fascinated to see a rare car as it is without any other additions. I would just add rear fog for the MOT then remove it afterwards, used to do this with my old AE86 to keep it more authentic. I love to check out all the specification differences and not muddy it with owner added extras. This car has a lot already after all. Obviously your car when you get and your choice of course.

As you can tell it's been full steam ahead on the 86 with the recent goings on and i've managed to get another big step finished at the end of last week just before my birthday - Making the first big cuts on the car and installing the front Arches! It was a big step to get at the car with the angry tools but it went by so quickly and came out quite well. You'll see from the video and pictures just how much I decided to cut away but what isn't quite shown is how many times I went back to tidy up the cuts. So far i'm just going around the car to get the initial cuts sorted, rust proofed and the arches fitted with the supplied self tapping screws (yes, really!) before i eventually go around the whole car once again for a second revision pass where i'll remove the panels, clean up any rough cuts, better rust-proof the affected areas with a proper sanding back, primer and underseal as well as shaving down any high spots on the Rocket bunny panels that can lead to a nicer smoother fit and finish on the kit overall when they're resolved and of course drill out the holes made by the screws using them as guides for my Rubber Well-nuts and bolts!
