    I tinted the 86. 80% on Driver/Passenger, 20% on the rear 3. Pretty happy with how it turned out.


    Also swapped the tail lights to black housing ones with a different running light pattern that I think looks sick. The fourth light that goes below with the triangle to match the tails is coming in soon. It’s harder to wire though because American versions of this car only have reverse lights down there with a red triangle reflector. I ordered a European model that has a brake light and running light built in.


    Old on right. New on left.

    Congrats on everything. It's hard making grown up decisions but it will be worth it in the end. Nice 86 and good luck on your tundra search!

    Spam away! I love the 86 cars. Considering trading my WRX for a BRZ in hopes that it cuts down on costs (gas, insurance, consumables, etc.).

    Mpg is surprisingly good. I'm still around 30 and I don't drive it very conservatively.
    Sorry man... :(

    This prescious girl came to us on the 7th, with that, the 3rd gen will be gone in a couple months. Talked the wife out of a Wrangler and into a 5th gen 4Runner.

    That’s how she got into a 5th gen. She hates everything about my 4Runner, but she loves how nice the 5th gens are.

    Having all the grandparents and great grandparents come over definitely took a toll on our sleeping. But so far we are managing it. She is definitely a night baby. She sleeps all day and up most of the night.

    The wife was up from 1-5 with her and I’ve been up since. I had to get some sleep since I’m doing the driving today

    Congrats! The 4R is much better suited to kids.

    Funnily enough, even though my fiancé and I are ~4-5 years out from having kids, we've already talked about getting her a 5th gen around then

    What are you going with? I'm thinking of taking my 7 wraps out as I want something a bit lower.

    Congrats dude!! Super awesome! And you'll love the new rig!

    My Fiancee and I are a range rover evoque, BMW M5, house, and Toyota Tundra away from having kids. Not sure how that translates into years... Probably a lot... lol
