Ok thanks! By the way, I hope to have the same 2 cars lineup as you...I test drove the 86/FR-S earlier this year and love the car.

If, in future, it is necessary to remove the mount, using an old credit card will assist or even some strong twine/fishing line. Use the latter in a sawing motion.

Thank you both for the very helpful information! Not that I plan on removing it often, but didn't want any residue to be left behind when it does have to be removed. I think that is the location the camera will be going in :)

The FR-S is a fun car despite being "underpowered." However, the kouki 86's front bumper is ugly to me. I do like it's better acceleration compared to the zenki (manual to manual comparison).

Compared to the Yaris I'd say it's plenty powerful enough! Haha
