In this episode from throtl, we witness the resurrection of a battered 2013 Scion FRS, a once-beloved tuner car now in dire need of a makeover. The car's sorry state includes a damaged bumper, a missing headlight, a tattered roof wrap, a wrecked carbon fiber trunk, and worn-out suspension components. With the clock ticking, the team embarks on a mission to transform this neglected vehicle into a showstopper within a mere 48-hour window.
Armed with a Mountain Aart Source kit, ST suspension, Moroto headlights, Rotoform Wheels, Falcon Tires, and NOA Tech wrap, the crew sets out to breathe new life into the ailing Scion FRS. Amidst detailing and clay barring, they dive into the intricate process of wrapping the car, unveiling a striking metallic Hunter Jade color for a fresh look. Collaborating with CJ from Ghost RPS, the team tackles the front and rear bumpers, enhancing the car's aesthetics with meticulous attention to detail.
As the makeover progresses, the focus shifts to upgrading the car's suspension and brakes, followed by the installation of Rotoform KPS Wheels and Falcon tires for a performance boost. The addition of carbon fiber side skirts and a lowered stance elevates the car's visual appeal, setting the stage for a remarkable transformation. Inside, a new steering wheel, titanium hardware, and a sleek shift knob inject a touch of sophistication into the revamped interior, reflecting the team's dedication to every aspect of the build. With the final touches completed, including an oil change and underglow installation, the once-dilapidated Scion FRS emerges as a stunning automotive masterpiece, ready to turn heads and set hearts racing.
