Looks great, although seems to fit funny around the headlight.

Gaps are a little off, but still much better than rivet on flares.

This is just a prototype, I don't know when or if they will put it into "production" I guess.

Rivets make it fun!

In that case it's a nice start. Not sure about the notches on the lower half of the bumper/flares. Seem like they might cause unintended drag and other aero issues... but looks cool.

But imagine it without rivets? Pure sex.

Ugh. I still think the FT86/FRS looks better than the BRZ.
If the grill is the "mouth" of the car's face, the BRZ's upper lip is up above the gums. Just makes it look like a goofy yokel compared to the FRS's mean shark face.

Pretty sure I can say this on your post since I thought you had a FRS. You can punch me in the arm through the internet if I was mistaken.

looks much better, I dunno if having the exposed tire is legal where I live though :/

You made a good choice. I do own an FR-S! I bought it partly do to the set up(much better to drive due to suspension changes) and the looks. I hate the integrated crash beam look that many cars have, it just looks bad. I just wish FR=S came with the bottom lif of BRZ(it is less aggressive but much cleaners) and headlights, they make it look angrier!

I think it has to cover the top of the tire, don't quote me on it though.

If only you could get the FRS face without that awful badge

Just swap it out for a Toyota badge.

That's honestly the what everyone should do to their FRS. It's only a minor improvement, but better than nothing. At the end of the day though, if I was in the market for one I'd prolly go with the BRZ. The grill doesn't bother me that much, I prefer the scoobi badge, and I love the pearl blue the BRZ can come in. All just personal preference though

I just looked it up, Australian Design Rules state:


42.12.1.2.1.2. the rear of the wheel guards must not terminate above a horizontal plane 150 mm above the axis of rotation of the wheels (as measured at the wheel centres) and furthermore the intersection of the edge of the wheel guard with this plane (point A, Figure 1) must lie outside the median longitudinal plane of the tyre;



ba ba ba bowwwwwwww

This might work. . . maybe. 150mm is 15cm which is about 6 inches, which looks like it should be fine.
